Reception [edit]

Me and Mrs Jones was non received kindly in early on reviews. Writing for The Phase, reviewer Harry Venning wrote:

Of the many unkind epithets suggested by Roget's Thesaurus, excruciating is the one that best describes this show. Until I watched it, I did not realise information technology was physically possible to grit one's teeth, gyre one'southward toes and clench one's sphincter all at the aforementioned time. And stay that style for one-half an hr.^[5]

Metro'southward reviewer was somewhat kinder, calling Me and Mrs Jones "grown-up one-act with child-like sense of humour" (going on to explicate that "kid-like" was more akin to "childish").^{[half dozen]}

The British One-act Guide reviewed it as follows: "We admittedly loved Me And Mrs Jones; it mightn't have had the packed-out laughs of a studio sitcom, but information technology oozed warmth, good humour and all-round likeability...If a second series isn't commissioned of this heart-warming, laugh-out-loud comedy, information technology'll be the televisual crime of the year." ^[vii]

DVD release [edit]

Me and Mrs Jones was due for release on 26 November 2012.^[8] ^[9]
