I RECENTLY WATCH THIS SERIES AGAIN AND I HAVE TO SAY IT FUNNIER EVER TIME I WATCH IT. I LOVE PETER KAY ANYWAY. THIS MAYBE 17 YEARS OLD BUT I'LL NEVER GET BORED OF THIS SERIES.
THANKS FOR READING MY REVIEW. =) TO QUOTE RAYMOND THE BASTARD - STUNNING LIKE A YOUNG BURT REYNOLDS.

Peter Kay returns with the funny Patrick McGuinness taking a prominent role in this side splitting comedy - he has come a long way from his bit part as a curly haired muppet in Kay's The Services.
I was laughing from start to finish - with the spoof of Dirty Dancing just incredible. Surely a scene that will be discussed and mimicked for years to come.
Anyone who enjoys Kay's previous shows and those who enjoy light-hearted humour will love this series.
A must!
Long Live Paddy and Max.

I was rather disappointed with the first episode of Max & Paddy's Road To Nowhere; a spin off series chronicling the adventures of the hapless bouncers from Bolton.
It didn't have the same spark, the same ability to make you laugh.
But, as the series is progressing, I am beginning to like it.
The same jokes which only Northerners will get are there, and really a clash of cultures take place. A little ott at times, some great scenarios are created.
Some special appearances will please the Phoenix fans, and newcomers will become engrossed in a story which actually makes you care about the characters.

I have watched all three episodes of Max & Paddy and have laughed out loud again and again. OK it's not as good as Phoenix Nights, but M & P shouldn't be compared to this because of the all the different characters within Phoenix Nights that allow this to create more comedy moments.
The Mick Bustin episode is the best so far and the wood scenes were Peter Kay and Paddy McGuiness through and through. I think it's best to watch the episodes a couple of times as this gives you the chance to pick up on things missed the first time around. Anyone who has watched any Peter Kay material knows that you must watch everything a few times to appreciate all the comedy classic moments.
I laughed more the second time of watching all the episodes.
All I can say is lets celebrate people who are trying to make us laugh and not knock them down. I hope Peter and Paddy carry on as a double act because I think they're classic!!
How far away are they?

When i first heard about 'Road to Nowhere' i initially thought it would be a let-down, but i found it to be a great laugh and throughly enjoyable.
It was very funny, and both Kay and Mcguinness were fab. It was very much side-splitting comedy, and everything from the opening credits to the background music, max's "how dare you", and the pig in episode 5, all made me laugh.
I do agree with other users' in saying that noticed more things the second time i watched the episodes, but this is because i knew what had happened, so inevitably you'd notice things more.
In all i was very impressed with 'Max and Paddy's road to nowhere' and i can't wait for it to be released on DVD, and for another upcoming series (fingerz crossed.

Did you know
- TriviaIn the 3rd Episode, Peter Kay decided not to use a stunt-voice for the scene where his character was required to sing Elton John's "That's why they call it the Blues". Kay sang the song himself and also did it in his character's voice. However later in the song they did dub in the actual harmonica solo, as Patrick McGuinness could not play the harmonica.
