    Bluezone that pop group

    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.

    Looks promising

    We last saw Max and Paddy, the dimwitted bouncers from the Phoenix Club at the end of series 2 of Phoenix Nights. The two had been hired as hit men, but didn't do the job and instead paid off the person they were supposed to be killing. Max spent the money on a camper van and when the lady who hired them finds out they go on the run fearing for their lives.

    Max, played by Peter Kay, is the quieter of the two, but probably the more intelligent. Paddy, played by Patrick McGuinness thinks of himself as God's gift to women - quite an opposite to Max.

    The first episode, as written by Kay and McGuinness showed itself to be funny and refreshing. New jokes, new stories, and a new direction for Kay - this could be his first sitcom based outside of Bolton! Thats not to say basing a sitcom IN Bolton is a bad thing mind.

    Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere looks like it could be a good solid comedy and I look forward to seeing more.

    absolutely brilliant

    absolutely brilliant!! it may not be as good as phoenix nights but M & P are top guys in comedy. Peter Kay as Max and Paddy Mcguinness as Paddy (coincedence in the names?) is the best comedy double act i have seen in years!! ( i may only be 14 but i know comedy well) i have to admit when i saw the first episode for the first time i thought it wasn't that funny - but i gave it a chance and as the series progressed it got funnier and funnier. the bit about Tina is absolutely top class "eh up i see cabarets arrived" as paddy said about her. there are some brilliant lines in here from Dink Dank do to How Dare you (hey that rhymes!!). my personal favourite is Too Far Tony!! maybe because I'm a Northerner myself (Manchester Massive) i find this funnier than others do.

    this is a comic gem 10/10 the best sitcom i have ever seen
    moilligh

    Not as great as Phoenix Nights... But its not supposed to be.

    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.

    Dink Dank Do

    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.

    • Trivia
      In 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.
