I agree, this redundancy story seems to be dragging on a bit now and it's getting a bit tedious. It was obviously an important story to tell (and still is) but there's just no development to it. If we're finding it tiring at an increased rate it must have been very boring at the 'normal' pace.

It's probably watching it in a way it wasn't intended to be watching which makes it "boring".   I find it quite refreshingly boring really rather than the usual soap cliche of today where a characters loses their job one episode and finds on on the same street the next.   I think in this set of episodes it's not at the forefront too - it's just them getting on with life.

Talking of pace though I found it odd that Roger's mum and dad came to stay for a few days and then that has spanned three weeks on screen.

One other thing I've noticed and actually quite like is that when an actor fluffs their lines it's kept in and they correct themselves, because it's actually quite natural for people to not always get their words out correctly then correct themselves.


More generally though I didn't think I'd stick with these episodes as long as I would but it's actually a nice way to spend a couple of hours on a Wednesday night, and feels less of a commitment to watch a batch of five episodes in one go over a couple of hours (and with very few ads) than it would if they had released them daily.
