Just saw the first episode...

This show is fantastic! I just saw the first episode and was blown away and for me, it eclipsed the new series of Little Britain massively. I love the idea behind the series; the blurring of fantasy and fiction is really inspired and reminds me a lot of my own life... I too have a ridiculously active imagination and it does make you believe some bizarre stuff and act quite the drama queen! Kris Marshall really shines now he's FINALLY been given the material he deserves... he was wasted on My Family. Can't wait for thee next episode!

I think I'm going to be a big fan too.

As a lover of Rear Window and Shallow Grave I can't wait for those shows to be parodied. I laughed so much at the actors conviction when they did the homoerotic ping-pong match.

You're right about Kris Marshal too, the My Family writers dropped the ball with his character.

I just saw the first out of 6 episodes on BBC 2. I think this is Kris Marshall's first attempt to work on more serious dramas as opposed to his stereotypical "Nick" character in "My Family".

Very entertaining program though, I'll be watching out for the next episode.

Just watched the first episode on BBC2.

Im definatly going to watch this from now on, its absolutely hilarious.

Someone mentioned Little Britain earlier - Well, LB is mainly a show with the same jokes over and over again each week. Sure, its funny at first but it gets old very very quickly. Add to the fact that its much more crude and less funny in this new series (The Fat Fighters segments are awesome though) you can tell its all downhill from this point.

I don't mean to spoil this for anyone, but I actually noticed a slight mistake. When Jones dials the number and the alarm goes off, he throws the phone down, and it doesn't get put on the hook. When he comes back from sorting the oven out, the phone is somehow back on the hook.

The first episode is my favourite, i laughed so much when Jones called Art's phone and then answered it himself!

I have only seen the first episode. The most funniest part I thought was when he was routing through that guys bin and then he jumps in the car and it stalls. Haha...
