The Pilot brilliantly set the scene for the show that was to come. French obviously had an exact vision of what these charecters were going to be like and everything you come to learn about them remains completly reflective on this first episode.
A testament to this episodes quality is that of course several of the mostly used clips come from this episode. including Geleraline introduction to David, and Alice's introduction to The Vicar.
Besides good charecter set-up; getting an understanding for them and thier relationships between one another, this of course didnt disappoint on the comedy front. Its not the best episode by far but it pivotal role in the story and the nostalgia of seeing the show for the first time make this worthy of a high score.moreless
