Some new show that starts tonight at 10pm on E4. Anyone know what it's about? I've seen it advertised for the past few weeks now.
Been watching it since it started. Is Robert Sheenan the guy who plays Nathan? If so then yea I agree. Also the girl who can make any guy horny just by touching them is fecking hotSo no one watched this then?...Last episode tonight and I thought it was another very good one.
Hugely neglected this I feel, despite looking like it was going to be shit, it was actually very good. The main bloke (I just googled and found his name was Robert Sheenan) is destined for big things I reckon. Or certainly some good roles as he's definitely got something very watchable about him. We make a whole load of shit TV and then when we make something genuinely well written and acted it's bunged on E4, promoted like it's skins and no one watches it. Shame
Bah!...Humbug
Honestly feckos, give this a go...you'll be surprised

Still think that?Doesn't take Nostradamus to predict just how shitty this show is going to be.
Okidokee thenI ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
Yeah not much changes in the formula from the 3rd episode to the end. If you dont like it, you dont like it.I think its average. The lead guy (irish?) i find to be extremely irritating and don't particularly rate his acting skills. The story is not bad, although i thought it was slightly predictable. Yes it does have tits, and the woman who turned into an OAP, was hot prior her metamorphosis, but im not overly enamoured. I've only watched the opening 3 episodes, so do you reccomend i continue watching, or if i didn't like the first 3 particularly, i won't be overly interested in the remaining?
You better think about it baby, babe.I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
Depends...I can't remember if the time travel one is 3rd or 4th? I think it's the 4th, and that was one of the best for me. It focuses on the runner and is less androgenous irish ladyboy centric so you may like it more if you don't like him. Whether you like the Irish guy (Robert Sheenan is Nathan yes phillip) is probably quite central to it as he's the pivitol character. I found him quite charming which, considering he plays a complete dick, i thought was quite an achievement.I think its average.

It has been recommissioned by the way, which is goodI think it's excellent, and like others have said, Nathan just completely steals the show. He goes from being irritating at the start to the most likable character by the end. The final scene in the last episode was hilarious
I presume that...
That chav girl Kelly will visit the grave and hear his voice in her head and they'll dig him up.

Probably...though he seemed quite far down. I was waiting for the obligatory post credits scene where his ipod battery runs out...I was a bit dissapointed it didn't happen. My flat mate also called his power in the time travel episode when he's shown to be the only one who survived the attack in Curtis alternate present. So I knew that would happen, but credit to them for revealing it like that, rather than straight after he'd died, or in the open casket, it was a great way to end the series.
When I first saw him I just presumed he'd be the usual Irish stereotype in a British show, so it was very refreshing to see them not go down that route. 1 mil an episode is actually quite good for an E4 show. I'd say it'll grow increasingly popular through word of mouth now too, as like we're doing here, people will be told that it's actually much better than they'd think.He's very good. His presence in the trailers was weirdly one of the things that put me off...I instinctively thought, "pssschh, some androgenounes flouncing bitchy big brother like queen, and the rest look like chavs, I'll pass thanks" cos that's what he (and the rest) looked like. But the words cover, book and judge spring to mind. He was excellent. Easily the best thing about it, but that shouldn't undermine some of the writing which was very good for this type of thing. Reminiscent of Charlie Brookers Dead Set but with more comedy and less horror I thought. Plus it contained far more nuance and wit than Skins, which is unfortunately what a lot of people thought it was going to be like. And probably why it wasn't a huge hit, though apparently it pulled in a steady mil an episode including 4OD.
Oh and also
The weird BMXer that rode to his rescue....what was that about??
Yeah man, that was a bit fecked. I imagine he'll feature in the second series!He's very good.
