I've watched the first three now, will probably try to finish it this evening.
Honestly I don't think it's been great. For me Steve Coogan keeps slipping in to Alan Partridge. The scene where hes at the BBC meeting and they're pitching the Jim'll Fix It premise and he says something like "A parapalegic climbing Ben Nevis in a wheelchair" to me sounded exactly like it would be a line in AP.
I also feel like the shows giving too many other people too much benefit of the doubt. E.g. the scene with Thatcher talking to her cabinet secretary and saying "but what are these rumours?"... As if she wouldn't have known.
