'Orrible

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.

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.

OK, so it got panned by the critics. That's no reason to have the big hate campaign against it. I absoloutly loved this series, and thing that it was a stand out piece of British comedy history. The 2 main characters were great, with Ricky Grover totally making every scene his own. The supporting characters were also great, Tim the barmans war storys had me in stitches. I recently bought the DVD and the commentary is fantastic, Johnny Vaughan doing what he does best, just talking away! If people had given this a chance instead of listening to the 'experts', the 2nd series Johnny mentions on the DVD might have been made.

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 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.
