Passed me by at the time. Great cast, but i can see why it wasn't renewed. It feels like a sixth former wrote it - its hard to get absurdist humour right and just pressing the weird button constantly doesnt work.
I'm with you Angelo. Shooting Stars worked because it appealed to a broad audience. Move slightly outside of that, and people like ashleyburns struggle
@@simac3880 ashleybums is right. Something is certainly offkey with this series. Probably why Vic changed his name back to whatever it was before and retired from comedy.
I'm not sure if any of you know this but ITV haven't been able to do sketch comedy well in my lifetime. I think the most popular one they had was Hale and Pace in the 80's and early 90's but since then every time they've tried it's been utter dross. No offence to them but practically every decent British comedy has either been done by BBC or Channel 4. They just can't do comedy
The estate agent segments just save it.
The negotiator 😂

Yeah ok but ripping off Harry n Paul etc
I completely missed this series in the states,but ill catch up now baby!
I never saw this when broadcast.
I like my comedy like i like my women: Silly, weird and dry.
A lost classic.
The coogan toy shop sketches are the only decent thing.
Just saying “I don’t know” equates to a punchline apparently
Quality
Remember being stunned by how bad this show was being a big fan of Shooting Stars etc.
Did you have your sense of humour surgically removed by mistake..?

Trying to do a Harry Enfield and Office etc. Oh well!
Two completely different types of show.
🤣🤣🤣
Really?
British humour is special and Geordie humour is up there with the best. 'Can't understand it? Don't blame the writers.
English humour, nae British. Nae Scottish, nae Welsh... English.
Some good material,poor delivery i think...
All those big names and it's awful.
Very pooer.
Plane crash.
How terrible
That's 23 minutes I'll never get back!!! What a total pile of crap!!! Shame a great cast.
Pure unadulterated crap.

Silly, not funny.
Shite!
Can’t remember this… it doesn’t work without the laughter dubbed in.
