The final episode of the series, "Life Begins at Fifty", was aired in a Tuesday evening slot due to international football, losing around 1.5 million viewers. The seventh series averaged 5.92 million viewers for each episode.
Critics
Tom Simpson, of My Family Online, reviewed that one particular episode from the series stands out. He states that "One Of The Boys", written by the mate of Jason, David Cantor, is a "brilliant, lively, funny episode that also contains a rare moment of emotion", and that the episode brought a tear to his eye.
