Channel 4 have not only commissioned a series of this but have also scheduled a Christmas special.

Based on the first episode I couldn't recommend it to anyone though.
I didn't find any of it funny. The scene where he was accused of been a paedophile seemed a bit dodgey.

I've liked Greg Davis in The Inbetweeners and also Cuckoo but I'm not not sure I'll even give the second episode a try.

It was rather odd. Hard to know what was going on. I agree about Greg Davis's other work (and his stand-up is also very good).

I will give it another go, maybe you need to watch a few episodes to 'get' the joke.

I thought it was quite funny, bit all over the place but funny none the less. Rik Mayall character just a bit too weird though.

This came back for a fourth season this week and having not watched the previous two seasons I decided to give it a go.

I quite liked it. I enjoyed his encounters with the bank staff. And snooker player Dennis Taylor had a cameo.

Have to say I really like this show having just watched Series 1 over the past week. Very rare a sitcom makes me laugh out loud as hard as this one does, though occasionally it can go over the top a bit and miss the mark. Rik Mayal character is wonderful and I suspect will be hard replaced in forthcoming episodes.

It's gone completely anarchic with minimal plot lines, like the Young Ones, but it's still very funny I think. Isy Suttie is also strangely hot
