Did anyone manage to catch this last night on C4, it has Simon Bird, Will from the Inbetweeners in it

So so so so bad lol, Although it will only get compared to the Inbetweeners, but it is shockingly bad, im hoping it gets better... :o
 
I thought the first episode was terrible, utterly terrible. Unfortunately Simon Birds character is quite similar to Will (females joke etc.) so that's going to do it no favours either.
 
I quite enjoyed it, I like Jim the neighbour, hes mental and seems terrified of his own dog which I find amusing.

The jumping out a bin bag has been my favourite part.
 
It is a cheap rip off of Simon Amstell's 'Grandma's House' which was aired on BBC 2 and which makes Friday Night Dinner look like a cheap school production.
 
I watched them all (still available on 4OD). I liked it, especialy Jim next door (Mark Heap) and the Dad - '**** on it!' but though that they overdid the crappy salt thing and the hearing aid thing. Plus how is Tamsin Greig suddenly old enough to have grown up children - I know that she technically is but she is usually playing much younger types (what happens when an actress gets over 40 I suppose).

Caught the last episode; the first one I've seen. Mildly amusing.

If you're a Mark Heap fan, you'd guess that he'd steal the show. And you'd be right.
 
I thought it was great. No idea why the Dad was always hot though, thought it was great.
 
New season starts tonight. Woo

This is such a funny show, not as in your face as Inbetweeners, has awesome writing and slow building jokes :)
