Bull

I am glad to see UK Gold making some of it's own programmes, it's great to see them put out something new, other then just repeats of Keeping up Appearances and Only fools and Horses, I'm sure we now all know them word for word.

It seemed like an attempt to update Never the Twain, Rupert and Beverley Bull run an antiques shop, they employ the rather hapless Faye to help with their business.

I'm a huge fan of both Maureen Lipman and Robert Lindsay, both are truly awesome. They both have undoubted screen presence, and perfect timing, slapstick has been missing for some time. I like dull silly humour, I will laugh at almost anything, I just don't need decibels of canned laughter to tell me when to laugh. There was the odd moment with a minor laugh or something that just wasn't funny and the canned laughs were in hysterics.

Such a shame we're only getting three episodes, would love to see more, it's turning out to be a good one.

I happened upon this today, episode 1, It was SO bad I recorded it for my wife to watch with me, she was as flabbergasted as I was, considering it had Robert Lindsay, Maureen Lupman and Matt Lucas, we were amazed by how unfunny and badly written it was, WHO was it written for ? I'm happy to see it didn't last long, HOW was this ever commissioned??

I can honest say I haven't seen worse than this utter BULL****.

I am a fan of all these incredible actors in the show, but in particular, I loved Claudia Jessie, and thought she was absolutely fantastic in this very funny comedy!

I felt the show was not only funny as mentioned, but great comedy timing! The opening scene has to be the funniest thing ever! Claudia Jessie was hilarious in it. I absolutely adore Maureen Lipman, who is a comedy genius!

Script is faultless, and very well put together and delivered well by all, Toby Williams was also fantastic and of course lets not forget the great Robert Lindsay!

I do hope there will be another series, as I believe this is just the first of 3! I hope so, we need more comedy shows like this.

Thanks to the writers and GOLD

People make me laugh when they just watch one episode of something and give it the thumbs down, without giving it a chance, really silly! And to sign up to IMDb just to tell us?!

Well I for one will be watching it to the end! How can you tell from ONE half hour? Some people have no patience or imagination.

This series has much room to grow, if given a chance! I have watched comedies in the past where I wasn't too sure about the first episode (because I haven't gotten to know the characters yet) but have seen them flourish and become popular!

This is a crazy, comedy full of mad cap eccentric behavior and the characters are very funny, in fact, all absolutely crackers! Yet well portrayed!

Love the kids in it (they're going far, really like Claudia Jessie) they work well together with Robert Lyndsay and the GREAT Maureen Lipman. I really hope it does well, it deserves a chance!

Q) What do you do if you have a store room full of bottled mineral water, and the best-before date is tomorrow?

A) You drink it all, and then spend the rest of the day running to the toilet.

This simple idea could only have come from a comedy genius, presumably one of the two writers.

Sadly, only three episodes of Bull were made. But they were three of the most mindblowingly joyous and ridiculous programmes I've ever seen. Masquerading as a bog-standard traditional British sitcom set in an antique shop, with good old Robert Lindsay and Maureen Lipman at the helm, there were in fact no limits on what was possible and where the joke was going next. Progressive comedy at its best.

Claudia Jessie deserves a special mention. She must have been born with funny bones.

We had them recorded on an old Virgin TV box, but that is gone now and I have no way of ever watching them again :(
