Bull

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 :(

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

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 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.

Ignore any negative reviews, they are laughable in themselves!! You've hardly watched the show, one episode? really? please!! Just go back to watching Hollyoaks or something. (miserable bleeps)

Thankfully I am one of the majority that like this! First episodes are usually tasters, and you can't really tell how you feel until you've given it a chance. Some shows can be a bit slow to start, but I actually get it! This comedy is a little gem and I for one think it's great!

Here you have two experienced comic actors, 2 of the best in the industry, still making us laugh! I really like the young girl in it, she has some brilliant facial expressions! Love to see more of her and I like the boy too. We haven't see the best of Bull yet!

This might not be to everyone's taste, so why are you even making a comment here? really seems weird! If you don't have a sense of humour then just DON'T watch
