'orrible? More like terrible......

Never has a title been more appropriate for a tv show. This isnt in the slightest bit funny. I watched the first few minutes of the first episode, and then turned over. The usually funny Johny Vaughan does absolutely nothing for the series. He was funny on The Big Breakfast, but the tv show is insulting to his comic wit.

DONT WATCH!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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!

Not as bad as everybody made out

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.
