All episodes are scads of fun. I have learnt a plethora of idioms as well as vocabularies. All of their performance are marvelous and I am thrilled to bits. BBC is known for his teaching methods at all times

The cook's reactions towards everything are weird awkward a little bit. He got me in laughter for eternity. I engraved this moment in a part of my brain.

The drama was loaded with idiomatic expressions which native speakers use in their day to day conversations. Thank you for the efforts taken to introduce them to us. The performance was amazing and enjoyable. Keep doing your good job. May God bless you all!

This comedy was full of idiomatic languages for a English learner...
That was good way to teach though.
