    I think this is the best comedy that most people havent seen.

    I was recommended it about 5 years ago and ignored it for a while before boredom won over and watched it. Its cheaply made, but stars Sean Locke and Benedict Wong, as flatmates in a high-rise flat and is cut with the weird stories of people in their tower block.Its a slow moving somewhat surreal comedy with some very funny observations. Made on a budget and has a grimy feel of something of early Royle Family/Early Doors perhaps.

    What has surprised me is how under the radar it still is. Its getting a re-run on UK Gold at an ungodly hour I just heard. Apologies to those who have seen it (and love or hate it) but there are only 10 episodes and after every rewatch I am always disappointed that I never got to follow up on what happened Vince and Errol. Anyways, I think its very good and would recommend.

    Thank you.

    I really liked that show and it's a shame it didn't get more exposure (and another series). It wasn't helped by the BBC messing around with it's scheduling.
    The show was given the tough love treatment by the BBC throughout its two-series run: it started on BBC Choice, then the digital outlet for all the flotsam the BBC didn't know what to do with, and was then aired at stupid o'clock on Sunday night on BBC2. By the time the second series came around, premiering on what had become BBC3, there seemed no real home for it, despite the second six-episode series proving even more compelling than the first.

    Definitely one that got away. Lots of people who would love it have never seen it.
