Anyone seen this?

I have caught the re run of the first series and its really grown on me - go into any phone shop in London and you'll see its frighteningly accurate!

Check it, blood.

One of my favourite characters from the series. I recognised him in the new show Sirens that starts next week. Hope his character is as good in that show. Didn't realise he was also the Fone/Facejacker.

New Man "Who? You?"

Razz "Nahhh man, Young Me, Chinese Lad in the Bromley store...."

I've seen that green TT-RS at Goodwood breakfast clubs a few times.

Funny series, but not sure if it's worthy of a second.

It is funny, but I cringe from start to finish.

When the dolphins finally rise to power and explore why the humans failed, studying Phone Shop as a historical document will give them some good clues.

It is sadly very true-to-life and well-aimed.

No, a second series is in the works which is good news as the first was surprisingly good.

The pilot was part of a Comedy Showcase and the first series was commissioned off the back of that.

IIRC, Ricky Gervais had some involvement with the script.

Yes, it's Kayvan Novak, Iranian origin british actor aka Fonejacker. I loved it when he burst in the doors of the store:

"Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze Motherfukeeerrrrrrssssss!"


"who da man?"

"you da man"

"yesssss, that's right, Razz Prince up in the face!"
