What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this British sitcom includes slang terms for body parts ("c--k" and "t--s," for instance), lots of sexual innuendo, and male and female characters who are obsessed with sex. Strong language is sporadic, but there's a constant battle of harsh insults -- including references to weight and age -- between two characters who despise each other. This series is definitely geared toward adults, who can best appreciate the hot-cold feelings among co-workers and the show's humorous take on life's little irritants.
Violence:
Playful scuffles that never result in injury.
Sex:
Characters talk about "shagging" and use slang terms like "c--k" and "t--s" for body parts. There's some kissing and lots of innuendo (a guy implies he's heard reports that his buddy has a small penis, for example). A waitress often lays out customers' food to look like body parts (two mounds of scrambled eggs with dots of ketchup in the middle; a sausage standing tall between two dollops of mashed potatoes, etc.).
Language:
"Bitch," "s--t," and "piss" are audible and used sporadically.
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Some joking about "drugging" and drinking.
