Obviously this comedy series was not made for my demographic (60+ ) but I latched on to it right away. I just cannot believe how funny it can be. The characters Jerwayne and Ashley are the key to it all and are so well performed you almost believe they are really like that.Tom Bennett as the newby Christopher is perfect also as the innocent middle-class type entering into the big bad world of mobile phone sales. It is not fair to single these guys out though because all the cast perform really well and are hilarious in their own way. The language may well put some viewers off but it is a necessary part of the characters' rhythm of speech. Great writing, performing and staging make this show terrific. I just wish it was a hour (sic) long!!! A HOUR!!!
Stumbled across this by accident a few years back and very glad I did.
Clearly written by someone with experience in retail or sales.
I worked in mobile phone retail in London from 1998-2002. My first job when I left Uni - so absolutely relate to Christopher.
Trust me when I say some of the language and situations (inter branch rivalries etc) are bang on !!!
So many dodgy salesmen - there were at least 3 or 4 Razz Prince characters.

As the other reviewer has mentioned it may not be for people outside of the UKs taste, well i agree. Being from Ireland i must admit if I hadnt heard about this show and was flicking through the channels i more than likely would have kept going, but I am so glad i didn't give up on it as it is one of my favourite shows right now.
Each character is hilarious in their own way and each episode has a great plot where you genuinely want to know what happens, considering the show is 90% in a phone shop (obv) I was happily surprised by this.
The first episode i struggled with but after that it was top notch entertainment
A brilliant show and one that hopefully has a few more seasons in it!

I never expected to like this show... Someone told me about it and I felt seriously Meh at the description! But when I finally sat down and watched it I was surprised by how awesome it is! It is witty and intelligent anf doesn't hold back on telling you the ways in which phone companies will rinse you for your money...
Ashley and Jerwayne are brilliant as the veteran sellers trying to give advice to New Man Christopher... Advice which always leads to a laugh as Christopher is the complete opposite of his colleagues!
Well worth the time to watch... A Hidden Gem

The only thing that depresses me about this show is that they didn't make more episodes. If peep show is tier 1, this would closely follow...
