We are really happy with our audience feedback, it's always a nice feeling to know that something you've put lots of work and love into is liked by other people. It's also interesting to see how well people respond to a simple bit of slapstick humour, for example Sam being knocked out by the alarm clock. I'm really pleased about how everything has turned out, and it's a bit strange to remember when we first planned the idea.
