    Excellent

    I have seen most of the episodes and I loved every single one. I would put this up in the ali-g league. Johnny is fantastic and his fat friend is also very good: "this is my world!!" he he. I promise you that I am not Germaine Greer type reviewer which means that if you watch this you will truly be entertained! Nuff said!

    orrible but good

    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.

    Orrible, In my top five favs of all time.

    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.

    A cult classic in my opinion

    I, like many other of the followers of this series don't understand how it got so slated, maybe you need to a bit of a ducker and diver to get it, maybe women didn't like it because its not focused on females in anyway, but i for one personally love this programme and watch it often. They say Johnny Vaughs acting in this was terrible but i think he acted exactly as he wanted to look and pulled it off perfectly, Ricky Grover also perfect as is Wilmott-brown as the ex special forces bar owner, good little series nice little story lines which build up to a really good ending, watch it trust me give it a go, but obviously don't take it to seriously as some other people obviously have.

    Weird and Funny

    I'm an American, and I'd never heard of Johnnh Vaughan, but I loved Ricky Glover in "Getting On" so I gave it a go. The first episode is not that great, but keep watching, because the subsequent episodes are hilarious. It's sort of like a combination of "Peep Show" and "Minder" -two childhood friends, one a fantasist and the other a socially awkward weirdo, navigating love and friendship together.

    I get the feeling that people have something against Johnny Vaughan, but whatever it is, it's irrelevant to the show, which I highly recommend. Episodes can be found on that video website owned by Google.
