Francis said: “It’s absolutely brilliant so I’m delighted that it’s back.

“The patter in the show is superb and I really liked the first episode of the new series.

“Isa’s dog and Jack getting stuck in the bath were both excellent. “I could watch it all the time.” William added: “It’s great to have it back; the show is brilliant.”

Ellen Goodlad, from Craigneuk, was also pleased the see the show returning to our screens.

She said: “I will certainly be watching. I really enjoy the show.”

She added: “It’s brilliant; it is great to have it back.
