"Max and Paddy's road to nowhere"

Anyone watch this last night?

For the ill-informed, it's a spin off from Pheonix Nights with Peter Kay in it.

Was pretty good, if a little crass on occasion.

First episodes are usually written to make an impression. So you'll watch it again.

Then again, there won't be any familiarity with the characters which is often integral to the enjoyment and humour.

T'was crap, the advert hardly made an impression for the show, I will end up watching next week to see if it will be better or simply because Peep Show is after it

It wasn't great - especially the actor who plays Paddy. He's not a very good comic actor at all, very very wooden.

EDIT: No jokes about that last line.

Nah, didn't really make an impression. Some good bits - I won't mind too much if I miss it next week, put it that way.

It's repeated on Wednesday at 11.30pm, I think.

I'll be watching, since I missed it on Friday. :c(

To be honest, I found it pretty decent.

A lot of people I've spoken to are taking it too seriously, thinking it's going to be some witty-office-esque cringe-and-laugh-a-thon, when all it is, is a p***-take of male culture.

Light hearted humour.

"Paddy has needs! Paddy has needs!"

I liked it.

not really a fan of 'Pheonix Nights' i watched 'road to nowhere' and wawsn't impressed i guess its just not my thing, prefer things like 'little briton'

Ya twas very good. I think people were expecting it to be funny all the way, but it was the zanyness that was funny.
