Glad I kept watching this, was solidly entertaining with some interesting ideas.

I'm rounding up the rest of the episodes into one post as I don't think there's enough demand for a post per episode when everything dropped at once.

FYI, Polly Honeycombe is a 1760 afterpiece farce by George Colman the Elder. It comically deals with the effect of novel-reading on not only young women, but on various members of polite 18th-century English society.

I love Polly! One of the best characters; I like that she wasn't just a one-episode gag.

I just looked up who played Mr Scribble, and it's Ben Ashenden (one half of The Pin)!
