It is the funniest thing I've seen in ages and it's such a frighteningly accurate portrayal of being a mum!

Is it as good as "Coopers v the Rest" last week. That was brilliant!

vanilla it was a pilot. They're hoping it gets commissioned. Fingers crossed.

It's written by Graham Linehan so it's Father Ted meets Mumsnet. OMG I hope they get a series clickclickclick!

Really? I am sooo out of sync with what Mumsnet finds funny - I laughed all the way through Bad Moms and hated this so much!

I loved it. Sharon Horgan is involved in it too and she's unfailingly funny. I loved that it was reality but stretched just a bit further. Anna Maxwell Martin was perfect.
