Don't Forget the Driver

Toby is wonderful. The sinister side of a modern humanitarian crisis laid bare alongside its' encroachment upon the everyday mundane existence of an imperfect gent and his family, in the seaside town of Bognor. Some of the worse bits of humankind exposed, but utterly eclipsed by many of the best bits. Captured with quality cinematography, thoughtful editing and a lighthearted but not flippant frivolity. Thoroughly recommended viewing.

Yes, I noticed it gave me similar feelings to watching Detectorists. I've really come to like it and sincerely hope there'll be more! Nice actors and acting, fun to look at, story lines hold my interest. Good stuff. :) 8.5

Bassets Assets rule!

A well crafted story set in the bleak tacky absurdity of a south coast English town, with characters that are crippled either physically or emotionally or economically, losing with life, in a claustrophic darkly comical setup.

The silences speak volumes, the camera lingers on decay and mundane things. The ever present 80s/90s music radio adds to the faded feel of everything and everyone. Meanwhile dementia, disability, homelessness, illegal immigrants, human trafficking and economic malaise form the storyline.

I liked it a lot. Toby Jones and the many actors are suberb, totally credible, and give satisfying performances.

This series is not for those who want instant gratification, it is not for those with short attention spans. But for those who persist it's rewarding. I hope they will make another series.

Having seen the trailers I have wanted to see this perhaps more then any other new comedy for years. I was not disappointed, I have absolutely loved it. It's so witty, well written and gorgeously put together.

The stories are great,the situations baffling, and the characters are a joy. I adore Toby Jones, and he is terrific as the down on his luck driver. Marcia Warren is an absolute comic delight as his mother, Dino Kelly also great as Lech.

It's wonderful observation comedy. Loved it. 9/10

This has to be one of the most finely crafted TV series I have ever seen. Funny but also very poignant. Toby Jones is excellent, as is the entire cast. Every character is well developed and interesting. A special mention has to go to the cinematography, which is routinely excellent. I think the previous reviewer would be wise to go back and give this another chance...
