I'm new to Mrs Merton , don't know where I've been all my kide, but they are both Comedy Genius's, they are up there with all the top Comedy acts and I mean the top ones absolutely Geniuses
It was actually quite popular but as you say the critics slated it saying it was making fun of mental illness. I wished Caroline had ignored the criticism and gone ahead with the second series.
It was a very clever comedy show, which sums up the social complexity of British people on a micro scale. I never really enjoyed watching "The Mrs. Merton chat show", it was about her being rude and disrespectful towards guests she didn't really like for the sake of cheap comedy. Mrs Merton & Malcolm brought the best out of her talents, thanks to the brilliance of Craig Cash and the Veteran Brian Murphy who played George Roper. I was wrong about her just being limited to a supporting role. RIP Caroline.
