    We asked for your comments on Sorted. You said:

    "Dex in drag looked like a cross between Tina Turner and the Wicked Witch of the North."
    "Another powerful episode – Dex in drag looked like a cross between Tina Turner and the Wicked Witch of the North. Jack actually smiled in this episode.

    We loved the confrontation at the pool table – Hancock looks like a British Bull Dog with Billy as his ever present minder. It was a great comedy moment when the pool cue split. Great acting from Nancy – 'she is an angel with bacon'. More banter and shop floor antics please."

    Sam Bamford, Exeter

    "One of the best things about Sorted is that the amount of fun the cast and crew have filming bursts out of the screen and fills the room.

    The soundtrack complements the lighthearted direction and happy-go-lucky feel of the show perfectly. I was especially happy this week as Jack integrated himself with the rest of the group through the pool competition and finally made friends with Barmpot. I wish Harry had thought more carefully about exposing Charlie and Kathy, because of the effect it had on Abigail, but it was good to see the pair rumbled at last.

    Plus - when else will we see Dean Lennox Kelly in heels?"

    Natalie, Bromley

    "There is just the right amount of comedy and drama and lots of 'normal' hunky men!"
    "Sorted is a wonderful series. There is just the right amount of comedy and drama and lots of 'normal' hunky men! The storylines have been nothing short of brilliant. I hope the BBC will commission a new series."

    Elizabeth Hanna, Belfast

    "I've really enjoyed this show. I think that despite some critics saying it's full of clichΓ©s, the actors and writers have done well to capture the joy and problems of ordinary life. I like the diversity of the characters and the fact that no-one is heroic. I wish there were more shows like this."

    Sue Holmes, Southampton

    "Fantastic - at last a decent and believable drama. Well done - hope a second series is being written."

    Vikki Hibbert, London

    "Sorted is without doubt the best TV drama ever! I'm a postie, and me and my mates are gripped (although we can get trainspottery about the shop floor and uniforms etc). I love the mix of characters, the music and the energy of the episodes. The scene where Harry dropped the big secret in this episode was amazing and excruciating!"

    Pirate Pete, York

    "For an hour you can escape or relate to what is happening on the screen."
    "This is a refreshing new drama, something that television has needed for a long long time. For an hour you can escape or relate to what is happening on the screen, and at the same time laugh. The actors are fantastic and the standard is so high. Episode 5 was no exception.

    What will happen between Harry/Kathy/Charlie/Abi? Will Dex and Amy make it down the aisle? I'm counting down the days until we find out."

    Andrea Dolan, Liverpool

    "I was a postie and this is spot on!

    Congratulations on a brilliant show. My only criticism (and Will Mellor knows this, judging from his interview on the website) is you still make the job look easy. Let's see a bit of sweat, like a real postman."

    Rodney Isemann, London

    "All been done before - Northern accents, anonymous Northern town etc - the only thing that changes is the uniform. Good cast - sadly wasted."

    Tim, Wales

    "Can't wait to see Radge get what's coming to him from Hancock and Billy."
    "Another must-see episode - with powerful performances throughout. There were great comedy moments - can't wait to see Radge get what's coming to him from Hancock and Billy after cheating them in the pool game. More comedy interludes please."

    Jim Burton, Didsbury

    "I love the Harry vs Charlie storyline. The programme is going from strength to strength. I love the way it swings from serious and heavy to light-hearted and sheer fun. Great entertainment."

    Nicky Downey, Brighton, East Sussex

    "Being a teenager, dramas don't really appeal to normal people my age, but this show is absolutely great! It has everything, romance, action, drama, comedy and friendship - what more can you want in a programme? The brilliant acting along with the fantastic music makes this show an amazing experience. Even my gran watches it.

    I often annoy my mates now asking them what they thought of each episode. Now they've got no choice but to submit and watch the show, even they've admitted they're hooked."

    Sam, Derby
