With its gently absurd humour and reassuringly unglamorous characters, James Corden and Ruth Jones's Essex meets Wales sitcom (released here with last year's Christmas special) is starting to feel like a Last of the Summer Wine for the Noughties.

So some might think it good that this series is billed as the last. The rest of us, however, will be bidding a sad farewell to Nessa, Bryn and the other excellent supporting players in a comedy which makes up in heart what it lacks in bite.
