BBC renew HIM & HER for series 3

Thursday 1 December 2011

BBC Three's flat-share sitcom Him & Her has been recommissioned for a third series. This is a comedy I watch but don't review every week, so I'm pleased by this announcement. Series 2's been much stronger, mainly because writer Stefan Golaszewski's chosen to involve more characters—in the form of the family/friends of reclusive lovers Becky and Steve. It's still not the kind of show I laugh-out-loud with, or feel keen to get other people watching, but it's pleasant and amusing. Most episodes have at least one memorable encounter or uncomfortable situation to giggle at.

I do wonder if the concept will stretch to a third year, though. There's almost no character development with Becky and Steve (which is kind of the point because they're stuck in a blissful rut together), but it's getting to the stage where you're hoping for Becky to at least fall pregnant.
