Peter Kay - Car Share

It may be that you're missing the more subtle stuff and so only picking up on the obvious which would explain why you find his humour a bit simple.

I can pick up enough 'subtle' to know when I'm being called thick

I think he meant not absolutely tuned into the right frequency

Just watched the one with the monkey. Genius.

Peter Kay's humour is mostly a bit simple and easy going for me. All those Comic Relief songs etc., all just seems a bit boring. Stand up's OK, but nothing amazing. Sort of humour my Nan would have liked.

Phoenix Nights on the other hand.....I don't know what he did differently, but that was epic! Absolutely loved every episode. Car Share's OK, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it. Novel idea though.

This.

CS is generic, safe, standard BBC comedy that they're churning out in the dozens.

I don't see that at all.

What would include in your dozens then?

I think it's streets ahead of other comedy being shown.

I'm with you. This is quality work.

Indeed.

Way beyond the run of the mill crap churned out by most channels.

This and The Trip are two comedy's that are way above anything else at the moment.

The actress that plays kayleigh is actually an old friend of PK and someone he specifically wanted to play the part - i think that does no end of good for the chemistry between the characters - i might be a bit worried if i was her husband though!

They went through college (or possibly uni) together, and have been close friends since.

I'm now slightly in a quandary, knowing all the remaining series episodes are on iplayer. Do I stay up and watch them, or be patient an watch them on terrestrial one at a time...... ?

Go on, watch them, you won't be disappointed.

Iplayer - you will not regret it.

She's about to ps off to bed, I think I may. Then pretend I've not seen them when she watches them on TV!

The monkey bit was the funniest thing I've seen in ages. "he doesn't like them either"

I have been rationing myself to one episode an evening and just caught up to this one...

That's right. Spot on.

And here's me thinking it meant something completely different! I feel so ashamed.

No need to get in a flap about it!

Nah, that'd just be a cheap insult! There's a lot of humour that goes over the top of my head, doesn't make me thick, just means it's not my kind of humour.

Just rewatched the fancy dress episode with my daughter, so many peripheral jokes, the pub on the drive home. The Dog with 2 dicks. It's dark, you can barely see it but worth a second watch.
You do need to see each episode twice, or constantly pause and rewind.
Very well written, just hope the under 30 y/o viewers know all the records, all classics.

The music choices by Kay are spot-on. Fat Larry's Band - sublime. Pity they cut it off.

I'd pay good money to attend a Compendium gig.

Can't get enough of this show!
