a new series has been commissioned
Good grief, really? Another one? I can only assume it's cheap to produce. In my ever so humble opinion, there used to be two reasons to watch it - Kris Marshall (for the comedy) and in the far distant days of series one, Daisy Donovan (for the eye candy). Now they've both gone, it doesn't seem worth the bother.
I wouldn't say it was one of Robert Lindsay's crowning achievements. Ha - crowning, geddit? Cos he's plays a dentist, you see. Ah, suit yourselves.
