    Endlessly funny

    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...

    If man say him a ting, then him a ting

    One word for this show.. Genius.

    This may go missing if shown to an American audience, but for the UK viewers its very easy to relate to and absolutely hilarious!

    Easy to relate too, everybody in the UK knows what phone salesmen are like, the people who make this show also do and bring it across perfectly.

    The two characters Ashley and Jerwayne are top notch, the banter they have is hilarious. I can't help but feel they are the stars of the show and if they were not in it then it wouldn't be half as funny. Don't get me wrong, the rest of the cast is good and there are many funny moments, but Ashley and Jerwayne really do steal the show.

    The one negative for me would be Kayvan Novak (the man from fonejacker). His character is awful, thankfully he's not in it much!

    It has now been announced that series 3 is to be released later this year. Lets hope for more of the same!

    Genius casting and acting

    Every character in this show is brilliantly cast. If you've ever worked in any sort of corporation, you will completely relate to these characters - every cringeworthy one of them. I've been waiting years to see series 3 and now it's back on c4, we're watching from the beginning again. So funny and so clever in equal measure.

    Phone shop just get's funnier and funnier!

    I agree with 'brianloughran55' review of this Channel 4 UK comedy series. People outside the UK, or London to be more precise would not understand much of the humor.

    There is an accent in London now in the younger working class generation that is a mix of Jamaican, Cockney and Yardie and it sounds just like that of Lance's Phone Shop employee's! I have sat on the train many times and listened to these people babbling on and it seems the stronger the accent and lingo the more thick they tend to be.

    Another thing is that if your just hearing and not seeing who is talking you would never be able to guess their ethnicity.

    Still, these colorful characters always unwittingly put a smile on my face so don't worry if you forget the paper when boarding the Victoria to Folkestone train.

    I recommend watching an episode from the new series called, 'Baking Bad'. Just total comedy genius!

    Wha gwan.... NEWMAN !!

    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.
