In the first book, just after he's released from stasis and he finds out the crew have been wiped out it describes him going on a total bender and coming to terms with the fact he is the last human being alive, its alot darker. So having gone through all that with the character, i found second Kochanski really underwhelming.
I do realise this is a sitcom but yknow. I actually think series 7 is really good in general

Disagree with that last point, but let's not let that worry us - looking at it, I was 11 when series 6 aired, and 15 by the time 7 aired, so I suspect a big part of my not liking that was that it was that I'd gone through puberty in the interim.
I do think it went wrong when Kochanski returns though - part of the point is that he's meant to be a sad bastard for the rest of time. It's like when Del and Rodney became millionaires - what's the fucking point now then? I need to go back to the later Steptoe to see if this theory holds up...
