Done. Brilliant show but far too short. Good example of quality / quantity though.

Lined up nicely for the timeshares but i hope it's not going to be as predictable as i think.

Indeed it's another one that proves the theory that if it's brilliant it can't go on for long. See Dad's Army/Fawlty/Porridge/Detectorists/Fleabag & a few others.

Have just been rewatching this on Netflix, most amusing

[m3jappa]

I hope there's another series!

I can’t find season 2 on demand anywhere, shame.

Laughed from beginning to end, it took a few episodes to forget about Jay and Simon, but that's always the trouble with great characters.

It's on Netflix I think. Or might be amazon.... It's definitely on one of them as I was watching the second season again the other night.

It's on Netflix (or at least season 2 is).

I didn't even finish the first episode of the first series but I keep hearing about it so I might have to give this another go.

While watching this with the wife last night, Herbie Hancock's Rocket tune came on.

We both then started racking our brains on what film or show maybe this was well known for.
Can anyone enlighten us please?

Its on the GTA VIce City soundtrack as well

+1. I just kept telling myself it was 3 years on from the Inbetweeners and Jay and Simon got a job at the same firm.

The Wizard came out in '86, two years after. I'm fairly sure this was used prior to that.

Gave the first few episodes a real go... couldn't get in to it at all.

Gets a 5/10 from me

I wonder if it's an "age" thing? I enjoyed it because it reminded me of the 80's (a bit like Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes) but if you weren't around back then, or were too young, then you won't have the nostalgia enjoyment aspect IYSWIM.

Absolutely this. I found that I couldn't relate to the situations, the characters or the story but I can definitely see how some people might be able to relate to it.

My wife's a lot younger than me and she gave up after 10 minutes

In the current climate perhaps they can do a 2020s show where they are all toilet paper salesmen? The new White Gold.

Any word on when S3 is expected?
