"Anyone else finding this brilliant viewing? I love it haha. You can tell Peter and Sian Gibson are good friends...am sure some of it is improvised. It is just such a good, well written laid back comedy.Watch out for some of the signs..very subtle" It's beautifully observed and acted; what PK does best, rather than a) his stand-up these days, which is frequently just old material, rehashed or b) dressing up as a girl and trying to sing. One of the few comedies we've genuinely laughed out loud to in a long time. I just hope they don't cop out and end it on a romance, which is how it appears to be heading. | |||

"He peaked with Phoenix Nights I think and nothing since has been as good, that he has done." Phoenix Nights was brilliant. This is reasonable, but I do feel if it didn't have his name plastered over it, this would be a BBC3 comedy. As it stands it is amiable enough. | |||

"We think his previous material is brilliant and so funny, but unfortunately we are not impressed with this series. It just does nothing for us." We were the same,sat there like a cpl off Googlebox for half an hour.Not a patch on his other stuff,it may have something to do with the fallout with Dave Spikey and the other fella who shared the writing on his programmes. | |||

" Not sure how local difference affects humour to that extent, in a country less than 1000miles long, that has had one main language for 1000 years and a homogenous culture for 500 years. Local prejudice might though. Yeah something's are only relate to a region, but if this is the only reason you can't enjoy somebody's humor, then there are 7B other people you could never enjoy. Ok that went way beyond PK, but I hate the North/South thing, it makes us weak against our international competitors. Having one stupidly big and powerful city is no longer helping us.... Think there is a phrase about eggs and baskets.... | |||

"Garlic Bread Garlic Bread Comic Genius " And yingtong yingtong yiddle-eye-po is? Basil Fawlty hitting a car with a branch? Bad magic tricks "Just like that"? He speaks to people, not everyone, certainly not you. Why do his standup tours sell out, why do his audiences cry with laughter? I think he knows what he's doing. Its one of the reasons a lot of the other comedians bitch about him. (I'm talking to you Rufus Hound. Get back to celeb juice). | |||

" Johnny Vegas is pretty good live. He's a bad compere, but a good closer as long as you can get him off the stage. There are regional differences in humour, but also in a town, one chap (Joe Lycett) can storm it in one pub, but not do so well in another. | |||

"Sooooo boring! Where are the jokes? As ever US comedies like Bad Teacher; Two BrokeGirls; Goldburgs; Marry Me are packed with jokes and sentiment too. Why do Kay, Ricky Gervis and the people behind No 9 make such sentimental, dark, slow & humourless soft dramas? More bellylaughs please " A lot of the best humour needs a dark or morose edge. Did you see the Doyle Family episode where Nanna died? I cried at that, but there were laughs in there too. A lot of American stuff us just one wisecrack after another. Funny, but ultimately formulaic. They tend to written by a large team of scriptwriters and it shows. No depth of character. And we don't use canned laughter to prompt us when to laugh. | |||

"I saw the bottle of piss thing coming a mile off, and thats when I turn off comedy. The last 3/4 series of Benidorm have gone that way. I would love more Phoenix Nights but Gavin and Stacey was superb and was pulled at the right time (leaving us wanting more) where as Benidorm has gone on for too long and a lot of us fans now hate it." Best thing Kay did was That Peter Kay Thing. He should do more of those. Single shows, with really odd characters and a good cast. | |||

"Watch it back, he actually interacts with the audience. You can't fake that. Its just genuinely funny. A canned laughter track is obvious. It always sounds canned. " I know what you mean but even 'House of fools' I think is canned. I think they both are along with other things, I dont have a problem with that. I dont watch Mrs Brown as again I see the punchlines coming, while it is Irish, it gets nominated in UK Comedy/Tv awards so I class it as ours. I think PK is a genius, not in everything he does, I read his autobiogrpahy and even that had me laughing out loud I'd give 'car share' 7.5/10 | |||

The only good one is Everyone Loves Raymond and that's not new stuff!! This new Peter Kay is not his best work but at least you get a laugh and there's always something in his shows you can relate to in real life!! Which man (and maybe woman) hasn't inched forward in a traffic queue to sneak a look at the pretty woman / man in the hope of getting their attention!! | |||
