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.

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.

Great show

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.

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.

This show is actually Superb .

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.
