“constant sexual tension between its ENTIRE cast” = haha surely this is what bein on a pirate ship* was LIKE?? i think this element is funny

*(queer-theory model anyway)

Oldest "trick" in the book. Whilst it seem comfortable with having a sexuality, it drops the ball in so many other places (not least that having constant sexual tension bewteen its ENTIRE cast is no way to run an office) that it is tiptoing between (immense) audience goodwill and the fact that it is exploring undiscovered territory on how Brit TV can tell stories. And more lesbianism next week one assumes from the trailer.
