'Orrible

I have heard all of the bad press about Johnny Vaughn's debut writing comedy effort "'orrible" and I would have to disagree with the reviews. Although there were a couple of episodes that didn't work at all, for the most part of the series I was laughing out loud. There probably won't be a second series, so I just hope this one is repeated at sometime.

I love this show I understand people hated Jonny vaughn at the time of this show but he is brilliant in this. Him and Ricky grover made a great team. The script is sharp and funny. With the other characters adding to this Love Noel And the Pub owner tim. with his war stories and his posh accent. This show is genius. Paul clark aka Jonny vaughn was driving a used ford granada in this show in 2001 after sean torched his red rover 827si. I would love to know what car he would be driving now maybe a used lexus is200 alan partridge style. But this show is well worth a watch from start to finish is a epic comedy and some laugh out loud moments included.

This show has a genuinely orrible vibe about it. With the rough characters and grimy sets etc.. it looks and feels very much like Fools & Horses - and in some ways.. the characters could be what you'd expect to find in that classic show.

Johnny Vaughan shows his acting talent playing Paul, a guy who dresses like a teenager.. and acts like one too. I really like how he pretends to be someone he's not - and his friend Sean( played brilliantly by the funny Ricky Grover ) always believes all his porkies. Sean is also ever eager to help his pal - with often hilarious results.

Overall, this show is very funny. It has a down to earth charm, amusing characters, and well-written scripts.

All the critics who slated this at the time.. were bang out of order. Supposedly Johnny subsequently said the show was "sh*t" .. but I think it's because he was annoyed by the hard time he got.

I'd much rather watch this than Shameless, but sadly.. the viewing public don't share my taste. Orrible people.

Top tier comedy . Brilliantly acted by all cast .

Reasons why it failed are not because it's not brilliant ;

1-The title is literally 'Orrible because it begins with an apostrophe and is not a grammatically correct word , which makes it harder to search for and remember .

2-It was released the night before a major worldwide event that was a hoax or maybe not , 9/11 . And nobody wanted a comedy for a while after that.

3-Definitely needs to be renamed.

I'd like to add that i also Really enjoyed this series, I'd even put it in my top FIVE list of Fav sit-coms of all time. So, why was a programme that was far far funnier than Only Fools and Horses given the push after 6 eps? Well In an age of "Sex and the City" and "Friends" and "Will and Grace", in a age were the women of this planet seem to control popular culture, nobody seems to want to watch a male buddy comedy which had no women as the main stars. Shame really. What else is there for the men of this world to watch on TV these days if they don't like sport? If you've not had the pleasure of seeing this fine show, and your a fan of "only fools", "Porridge" and other British male 'Buddy' sitcoms check this one out.
