This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This show has a genuinely orrible vibe about it. With the rough characters and grimy sets etc.. it looks and feels very much like Fools & Horses - and in some ways.. the characters could be what you'd expect to find in that classic show.Johnny Vaughan shows his acting talent playing Paul, a guy who dresses like a teenager.. and acts like one too. I really like how he pretends to be someone he's not - and his friend Sean( played brilliantly by the funny Ricky Grover ) always believes all his porkies. Sean is also ever eager to help his pal - with often hilarious results.Overall, this show is very funny. It has a down to earth charm, amusing characters, and well-written scripts.All the critics who slated this at the time.. were bang out of order. Supposedly Johnny subsequently said the show was "sh*t" .. but I think it's because he was annoyed by the hard time he got.I'd much rather watch this than Shameless, but sadly.. the viewing public don't share my taste. Orrible people.

I'd like to add that i also Really enjoyed this series, I'd even put it in my top FIVE list of Fav sit-coms of all time. So, why was a programme that was far far funnier than Only Fools and Horses given the push after 6 eps? Well In an age of "Sex and the City" and "Friends" and "Will and Grace", in a age were the women of this planet seem to control popular culture, nobody seems to want to watch a male buddy comedy which had no women as the main stars. Shame really. What else is there for the men of this world to watch on TV these days if they don't like sport? If you've not had the pleasure of seeing this fine show, and your a fan of "only fools", "Porridge" and other British male 'Buddy' sitcoms check this one out.

OK, so it got panned by the critics. That's no reason to have the big hate campaign against it. I absoloutly loved this series, and thing that it was a stand out piece of British comedy history. The 2 main characters were great, with Ricky Grover totally making every scene his own. The supporting characters were also great, Tim the barmans war storys had me in stitches. I recently bought the DVD and the commentary is fantastic, Johnny Vaughan doing what he does best, just talking away! If people had given this a chance instead of listening to the 'experts', the 2nd series Johnny mentions on the DVD might have been made.

Never has a title been more appropriate for a tv show. This isnt in the slightest bit funny. I watched the first few minutes of the first episode, and then turned over. The usually funny Johny Vaughan does absolutely nothing for the series. He was funny on The Big Breakfast, but the tv show is insulting to his comic wit.
DONT WATCH!!!!!!!!
