Peter Kay - Car Share

[snuffy]

What cracks me is that they never drive the same way twice.

[Bullett]

We thought a Christmas special was pretty much lined up.

The downloads expire today as well, so watch em quick or disconnect from t'internet.

[seawise]

it's nice gentle humour, and they genuinely appear to be laughing at themselves, not acting. brilliant stuff, classic Kay.

[SpeckledJim]

It was excellent. Sian Gibson is lovely.

Watched it at the weekend and enjoyed it, the only think that grated me, why was the rear windows smudged out ?

I presume this was filmed on a moving trailer, but it just seem strange to have the side windows clear, but the rear blurred.

Continuity perhaps - otherwise the traffic behind would be constantly changing within the same scene if they do multiple takes.

Exactly this. I did chuckle when they went through the car wash and in the next scene the rear window was still smudged

ETA: also when you watch them all back 2 back you start to see how much of the traffic is staged (as you'd expect in a show) - that silver voyager is always either in front or behind them.

Sorry, watched the first two episodes, thought it was heavy going and to be frank, rubbish.

Good idea for a half hour show.

However, I shall persevere with the rest, and hope it improves.......

Watching Sian makes it for me, she is very attractive to us slightly older guys, someone described her as a Milf - Christ she is mid thirties.

Save your time, its utter rubbish. Not sure what everyone else has been watching as I found the woman annoying and Peter Kay boring and predictable (and I really like Peter Kay normally).

I still somehow found myself watching all 6 episodes damn them both

I've just finished this, 2 episodes a night and really enjoyed it. One of the better things I've seen on TV (well online) recently. Feel good telly

I have pretty much liked everything that peter Kay has done,but this just left me cold. I gave up after two episodes.maybe my sense of humour is changing and I am just a miserable old man.
Has that woman had a stroke or something?

[Le Mans Visitor]

Just downloaded it on I player thinking it would give me 30 days to watch it again. Turns out it will still expire at midnight tonight.

Tablet and disconnect from Internet until you've watched it might work.

Thanks for pointing that out and thanks to the OP for alerting me to this programme.

It was very watchable rather than laugh out loud funny, but I still enjoyed it.

I liked the Cliff Richard impression and the road side signs (episode 4) was a clever bit.

I think the "whole series on iplayer for a limited period" is probably a taster of what they're planning when BBC3 goes online only. It gives them an idea of how many people persevere all the way through a series rather quickly instead of patchy week by week stats.

It also starts to play catch up with box set streaming services from Sky etc.

We enjoyed the series, the music really adds a lot although it may be targeted towards a particular age group who remember it first time The show does rely heavily on decent script writing and dialogue rather than an array of scripted plot devices so I think the writers deserve a lot of credit there.

The radio stations also remind me a lot of Grand Theft Auto stations

Finally finished the series last night.

Really enjoyed it, very easy viewing and nice relationship between Peter Kay and the lady - the 'dogging' references were pretty low grade humour but did keep me amused.
