Grim O'Grady Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Thought it was pretty poor tbh. Odd mildly amusing bit but when you see the bbc documentary about Salford, its clear that there is a potential goldmine of comedy material here being missed. Also reckon gervais might want his lawyer to look into why yon character from Derek has been shamelessly ripped off. Derek was written by one of the writers of this shite. So he'd get away with it.

Grimbo Ah everyday is a school day....could at least have put some distance between the characters though...its pure rip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.V.T. Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Quite enjoyed it so far. The lad that's with the mum and always on the forums and coming with stats is spot on. Craig Cash is hamming it up x3000 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Ach it's alright. Every review I have heard on the radio or read about from people that have seen it have said it takes a couple of episodes to get into but it gets good after episode 2. Still better than all the reality tv show shite that's all over the channels. Edited to add, seen Derek was mentioned above, I take it everyone noticed the guy that plays Kev is in this?

Aye the 2 beardos who play the quiz machine are the writers of the show. I think it's already been mentioned, by me ffs. Only 4 more episodes to go. Also like already mentioned this has comedy gold potential, hope series 2 gets some decent writers in. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also reckon gervais might want his lawyer to look into why yon character from Derek has been shamelessly ripped off. They're too busy looking at the guy in the Shakespeare thing with David Mitchell. I quite liked it - but then I can identify with fans of a crap team with a handful of supporters who all know each other by name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Cunk, m9, its Cunk. Of course it is! I may have been thinking of Cunk's clunge and inadvertently portmanteu'd all over the place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Derek was written by one of the writers of this shite. So he'd get away with it. Grimbo Earl was in Derek but he didnt write it. Thought this weeks was predictable and, worryingly, just the same jokes as last week. I think I'll give it one more week but Im not holding out much hope. Shame, as a backdrop its got great potential and I really like Joe Wilkinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_62 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Yep, like others, agree that the situation and characters have real potential - some great combinations - the son of the blind woman and the tattooed lady have some good moments, likewise the new barmaid and the complete idiot are worth watching. The 2 guys at the bandit could be developed - the tension between them and Craig Cash has scope. But so much is extremely predictable and some of the overacting is painful. I'll still watch next week though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I haven't actually seen this but I imagine Craig Cash plays the same role he always does. He even does it when he's doing the voice over on Gogglebox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaSeDG0DSA1NT Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I'm still going with this. I cant recall laughing to many times but for some reason I am interested in some character devlopments. Ex. The barmaid and the young lad Mandy and the guy with the blind mum I think Pete is going to bond with the gay guy too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 The barmaid was a guest on 'Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled' during the week. There was a running gag about how young she was - by the end she was pretending that she was born in 2005 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaSeDG0DSA1NT Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Still enjoying this but not taking it to seriously. Pete's son hoovering 😠That lad making up he had a girl was toe curling but massive lol's when he came clean ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDcups Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 It's terrible but I still watch it. The only funny bit was the fish finger contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 As I've said, I like it because I have experience of a crappy club with a tiny handful of supporters. I can even identify many of them - the Statto bloke, the two guys by the fruit machine who take the piss out of everyone, the hyper-excited guy running the club shop...

jimmy boo Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm quite enjoying this as I loved Early Doors and suspected this would slightly similar in certain ways. Craig Cash's acting can be a bit OTT at times but the other characters are worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
