I highly reccomend Peter Kays Phoenix Nights to americans, it is typically british and one of the funniest shows over here in the u.k. If u can try and get some of his stuff, u should.

japfles · 03-19-2003, 11:46 AM

Agreed.

Phoenix Nights is one of the best UK comedy shows in years.

JethroSimpson · 03-19-2003, 01:45 PM

I've never watched it before but I've heard it's good.

Born2HaveOwnSitcom · 03-19-2003, 04:02 PM

u should watch it, its hilarious, much better than the office with that smug git ricky gervais

japfles · 03-19-2003, 07:41 PM

Smug....maybe....but The Office was brilliant.

Born2HaveOwnSitcom · 03-21-2003, 10:29 AM

I didn't mind the office, I just thought phoenix nights was funnier

Why is Ricky Gervais smug?

japfles · 03-26-2003, 08:37 AM

I see a lot of anti-Ricky Gervais stuff on other message boards and I really can't understand it. The guy is responsible for one of the most original and funny shows in years.

Born2HaveOwnSitcom · 03-26-2003, 09:38 AM

I think The Office is a funny show, I just think Ricky Gervais comes across alot like David Brent, he was ok at first but I think fame has inflated his ego

hiya everyone has any one seen Peter Kay live at the top of blackpool tower, i have and i have never laughed so much in my entire life! i think he is brilliant

Born2HaveOwnSitcom · 03-28-2003, 09:50 AM

I saw PKTOTT on DVD, it was funny although for weeks after all my family could say was Garlic Bread?

JethroSimpson · 03-28-2003, 05:49 PM

I don't think I've really seen Ricky Gervais being interviewed much so you could be right.
It definetly is a great comedy though, I wasn't sure about it at first but after watching a few episodes you get hooked!

Simpson_10 · 08-25-2003, 08:12 AM

i've got it on video
have you seen all the john smiths adverts

I just recently got Peter Kay's 'Phoenix Nights' on DVD and have been checking them out. I really like the show and think it's quite funny and well-written and performed. The only thing is that sometimes it's so incredibly HARD to understand what they're saying! I'm in Canada so I lot of the local accents and terms are lost on me and I'm usually really good at the stuff. Also, I was so annoyed that they never included any subtitles on the DVD. That would have helped immensely. Other than that it seems like a really good show. I'm sure it will grow on me more as I watch more episodes.

He is absolutely exquisite!
