Finally got round to watching the series. They're absolutely hilarious.
3rd series was shite right about when the show got a lot more popular, always happens. Same with little britain, just glad the office didn't do it.Finally got round to watching the series. They're absolutely hilarious.
Still has some funny moments but you'll notice the decline in the show.I'm still on series 2, but I'm hoping that there's still some humour that I can enjoy in the 3rd series anyway.
I thought the film was absolutely shite.It's exactly the same, it's just that the same jokes get boring. The film is essentially a best bits of the series re-done. Just forget that you laughed at exactly the same joke before and it's fine.
I thought it was really funny, but I haven't watched it on my own yet. Just with a few friends so it probably made it funnier. But I did enjoy it.I thought the film was absolutely shite.
Yep, too much cringe not enough funny.I thought the film was absolutely shite.
It was popular before season 3 but I reckon most of their glory came around season 3.The show got immensely popular way before season 3.....I mean they had already planned for a film before they even wrote 3 because of the hype and feedback 2 got.
They should just leave it where it is. It finished on a low, this could sink the entire show.Rumours of a fourth series!
That's a bad thing.Rumours of a fourth series!
Comments from Buckley (Jay) here.Rumours of a fourth series!
That's true but it didn't make it not funny. The trip with Simon's girlfriend was one of the funnier episodes, with Neil pissing the bed and whatnot.3rd series was poor compared to 1+2.
Isn't Fresh Meat essentially that. With the same character? Would there be a point in doing it proper?They're off at University now aren't they? I guess one-off specials could work but not a whole new series.
Yup, first two seasons were ace and when everyone had clicked on to it they went to shit.Third season was a drop off and the film was pretty poor I thought. A new season would no doubt be terrible but make money so they'll probably do it.
Unless they improve the quality of any films they make they will be lucky to break even soon. The film traded by heavily on the loyalty of those who watched the series and that loyalty disappears very quickly if you produce rubbish.Logic says they'll only do films now, a series makes no sense whatsoever after raking in £50m before DVD sales. That's incredible really. Even 2 series wouldn't match that kind of profit.
The four main characters would have to be the same but you bring up a good point there. Greg Davies was good in it (the principal) and it would be weird without him.4th season = to new cast then because of graduation?
I don't really know what you are arguing for or against here, a sequel could cost twice as much and take in twice as little and still be more profitable than a 6 episode series. I agreed that the third series and film weren't good except the odd chuckle, but that didn't stop them getting their best ratings, and people going to the movie and coming back to buy the DVD/Blu in huge numbers too.Unless they improve the quality of any films they make they will be lucky to break even soon.

Series 3 was quite poor and the movie was really quite shit. A few good laughs if you were a bit drunk (which I was when watching it) but as a film rubbish.
