It's a very long cast list, I know, but I made a note of anyone who wasn't in all ten series, that I know of.
I've watched Series 1-7 of this show, and I enjoyed it. Of the BBC comedies I've watched, I think this one is actually the least funny. The show's comedy relied mainly on sex jokes and innuendos, which could get tiring after a while. But the show is still likeable, and still a show I would recommend.
