Did anyone see the new Craig Cash comedy tonight, 10pm on Sky One?

Mixed feelings for me. A bit of a slow start to be honest and it's a bit like Early Doors in how it's written (not surprising as Cash wrote both) but I feel it could get a lot better yet.

I agree. Such is the quality of British comedy these days, I didn't expect much, and therefore didn't feel disappointed. It was "OK" and I didn't feel I'd wasted 30 minutes of my life, but it could have been so much better. The production crew got the clubhouse just right - I've been to places like that. They were lucky there was any paper in the bogs.

You could be right - for all his assumed "simpleton" ways, Cash is a very clever man. This could have hidden depths.

I bloody love Early Doors. Rovers will have to get a lot better to match it.

Me too. After watching Rovers the other night, I watched three episodes of the Series Two of Early Doors and it was even better than I remembered. One of the most brilliant comedies I've ever seen.

I enjoyed and laughed out loud a few times.

However it's not written by Craig Cash.

It's Joe Wilkinson and David Earls.

I really like it - which quite surprised me as I'd rather visit the dentist than endure anything related to ball kicking.

Sue Johnston about a friend's cat which had gone missing -"His name's Johnson - he's a spunky little thing....".

(I thought about posting this on the "Juvenile things which make you snigger" thread in The Lounge.)

Good point, thanks. Craig Cash directed it, I think.

Funny thing happened last week. I am a member of a Facebook group that concentrates on non-league football and a thread started recently about "Rovers". It wasn't very complimentary, saying that it was denigrating the non-league game, was pathetic etc and not very well researched. There was a mixed bag of feedback generally and then out of nowhere, Joe Wilkinson started answering questions.

One guy asked him a question, clearly wasn't satisfied with Joe's response and asked him if he'd actually seen it... rofl ... flip side is that not only did Joe and David Earl write the series, they also star in it. They're the two guys often giving Pete Mott ("Meat Pot, just switch the letters around, it's great fun!") stick and seen near the fruit machine.

Never held Sean Connery back.

Still watching it, but have yet to laugh.

(Unlike Early Doors - "Was he in a state of arousal?" ... "No it was a Ford Escort")

To the regiment!
