I think its the warmth of the show along with the spot on humour that has always endeared it to such a wide range of people here, you had Richard and Judy watching it in their North London mansion with Sean Ryder watching it stoned off his tits in Manchester.
I think the relationship between Nana and Jim was always the most touching of them all. For all their blazing rows over batteries, Elsey and revels there was genuine affection there, as evidenced last night in the little segment showing them having a laugh as Jim was taking her upstairs.
I think going out on a high with the views wanting mroe is the best thing for this kind of sitcom, just like Pheonix Nights and the Office.
