Looks like it could be really good.

Comedy Drama from Shameless writers about a group of disabled people trying to live self sufficiently for some sort of TV show.

I found it quite difficult viewing. I didn't know whether I should have been finding it funny or not. I work with a short person (when I'm sitting down, her head is at my shoulder level), and she's as sound as they come, but I wouldn't ever think of making any comment to her like those on the programme.

Admirable that they have had the guts to make the programme (although the guy with the stubby arms has been in shedloads of stuff - saw him do a kickboxing programme once and he pasted an abole-bodies person with just his legs), but I think it has the potential to be a littel damaging to the PC cause. Imagine if the Inbetweeners crowd found it, what with the popularity of "Bus wkers" and all that! (Not slating the Inbetweeners, but they're shown at similar times on the same station).

I did, however, find the blind guy very funny. "I'm a good shot! Everyone's looking at me, aren't they..."

Yeah, have only missed last nights episode.

It's been a bit up and down but tonights episode was classic comedy, although I have to say that was mainly down to Mark Heap (comedy legend) and 'Gog' from Peep Show. The scene in the hallway had me in tears.

It's a shame that the series isn't longer as it seemed they had got the premise right and got into their stride now.
