Well, "Chalk" (IMHO) is not up to the PG standard, certainly, but what
is? I don't know... I think "Chalk" has its moments - it's farcical,
but a lot of it works well.

"Joking Apart" (another Moffat creation) was excellent - kind of an in-
between of PG and "Chalk"; it was also farce, but it had moving moments
and a lot of Spike/Lynda humour too.

Personally I liked "Chalk", but I know many people didn't.

Moffat *is* an utter genius (if only for PG) - but beware what you say -
he has been known to visit this list!
