Men Behaving Badly: Series 2 (1992)

Dermot (Harry Enfield) from Series One is gone, replaced by the mildly-successful womaniser Tony (Neil Morrissey). This is good. Morrissey's enthusiasm and willingness to play the lazy idiot adds a more dynamic touch to the show than Enfiled's underdeveloped character did. His ability to bounce one-liners back and forth with Martin Clunes is also superior. I'd enjoyed the earlier Harry Enfield's Television Programme, but he clearly wasn't right for Men Behaving Badly.

Mostly it's the same formula as before; i.e. like Dermot, Tony immediately tries to bed Deborah; Gary and Dorothy give the writers a target to critique an 'adult' relationship, with sharper scripts and funnier quips; and the two guys lad it up in their squalor as much as possible, and somehow manage not to starve.
