Ugh, it was funny the first time. After that it just seemed homophobic.
Exactly, because clearly it would be a very very terrible thing for someone to think that you might be gay. >_<
I was actually clenching my teeth when Mrs Hudson was on screen, by the third episode. I assume she was meant to be comedy, but I found her portrayal acutely painful rather than funny. Maybe she'll snap and try to murder both of them...
It was a friend who pointed out the Irish thing to me, and I do think she has a point. I'm not really up on Irish stereotypes, but she is and apparently he hits a lot of them. (I was wondering if he was who you meant with 'Iain' :P)
I am really, really hoping that this show improves next season, because towards the start especially it has such potential and it's a real shame to see it not fulfilled!
