Episode One

Five minutes into this new docusoap about a conservatory firm, [this reviewer] had to stop writing down priceless quotes - there were just too many. They come tumbling from the mouths of John and Ann Armstrong, the husband-and-wife business team who are its stars. The idea is a kind of all-too-reallife version of The Office set in Coventry. Ann is the more talkative of the two, a mixture of starry-eyed optimist and petty disciplinarian. John mostly just swears a lot and criticises Ann's schemes for improving the company - such as hiring a Zimbabwean motivational guru called Basil. It's well edited, brilliantly filmed and shamefully entertaining. And there are another seven episodes to come.
