CGiii Comment

Episode 1...Mmm, we wanted so much to love this...we reserve judgment.

The writing is a little weak...we're putting it down to teething troubles.

There were a few giggles to be had...we wanted belly laughs!

Onwards and upwards...we hope.

Moving on...

Things do improve...each subsequent episode delivers at least one full-on belly laugh.

Still...something is not quite right...Ash - this character is needless. Concentrate on the lush talents of the older characters.

And...get rid of that bloody dog! The mirror gag is genius!

Alas...only 14 episodes were made. It should have been/could have been a comedy classic...alas, not.

The(ir) Blurb...

Vicious tells the story of partners Freddie and Stuart, who have lived together in a small central London flat for nearly 50 years. Constantly picking each other apart and holding on to petty slights for decades, Freddie and Stuart are always at each other s throats, cracking snide remarks aimed at the other s age, appearance and flaws. However, underneath their vicious, co-dependent fighting, they have a deep love for one another. Freddie and Stuart are often joined by feisty best friend Violet and Ash, their young, upstairs neighbor.
