Peter Kay's Spin-off Series About The Two Lads Who
Peter Kay's spin-off series about the two lads who worked the door at the Phoenix was eagerly anticipated as his previous show aired on Channel 4 (Phoenix Nights) was a huge success. This is funny and is suitable for the whole family to enjoy, the two characters do struggle to keep us chuckling for the full half hour though. I would still recommend this show but it's not a patch on Phoenix Nights. You'll be pleased to know that Kay doesn't sing that Amarillo song but there is an annoying theme tune to be wary of.
Max & Paddy's Road to Nowhere is very funny and well written, although not as good as Phoenix Nights. I particularly like the episode where they meet Billy 'the butcher' Shannon.
The Episodes Were All Funny With A Few Cracking Li
The episodes were all funny with a few cracking lines in each one at the very least...
My favourite was the one where they run over the cow and end up with the pig in the motor home farting everywhere ''dirty pig how dare you'' and Max with the goggles on...hehe
Overall a great series hope there is another.
ding dang doo...
What A Bitter Dissapointment 'max & Paddy's Road T
What a bitter dissapointment 'Max & Paddy's Road to Nowhere' is. Is this some sort of subliminal gay fantasy voyage that Peter Kay had tucked away in the darker recesses of his mind. It seems only the slightest provocation is needed for Paddy to get his kit off. We then get five minutes of Max giving him strange furtive glances and lavacious praise about his sexual prowess with the ladies. The soap joke in the prison shower? c'mon thats so old Frank Carson wouldn't touch it. It tends to suggest to me that Kay was only one of many people who made Phoenix nights the show it was.
I think its the best thing I've seen on t v in a long time, I’ve not laughed as much. I watch it over and over and my daughter is addicted to it, she knows it word for word and my friends are the same. I’m a max and paddy addict and I want more paddy if your throwing any balls my way I’ll catch them and max I hope you can rewrite your magnet and steel book those pictures where out of this world so lets get ready to rumble
I sort of agree but think it's a bit harsh. The plots, jokes and character development are nowhere as good as Phoenix nights, but it still causes a bit of a giggle. It's still better than Dave Spiky's Dead Man Weds, but not as god as Peep Show (with the chap that played Ray Von in it). Not as good as some of the sitcoms out last year such as The Smoking room, but it's OK. Hope Spikey and Kay get together soon to write something as good as Phoenix Nights.
How many comics do you know that can make you laugh without using profanities every other word? It is very refreshing and long live Kay, that is, Peter Kay. How many people can you sit down to watch with your parents and have a good laugh? Take it back boys, look what you could have won.
I was a bit disappointed but I still love it. It makes me laugh and that's all that matters. Peter Kay was trying something new. What would we have said if it was a carbon copy of Phoenix Nights (which, by the way, is the best EVER comedy!), plus you watch the first episodes of many classics and they are rubbish before they find their feet. I am still a huge Peter Kay fan. God bless him; British comedy needed a good kick up the backside! Look at all the other sitcoms brought out apart from Little Britain and The Office recently and I think you'll find Max and Paddy is of a very high standard. Maybe some people just dont get the joke, but as a Boltonian it will ding dang do for me.
Sorry but I have to agree. I've travelled the country to see Peter Kay 'live' (AND Paddy McGuinness 'Bandwagon' tour) and was looking forward to Road to Nowhere so much.
What a disappointment. If it wasn't that these two are so well liked and respected, the show would be getting a hammering.
Predictable and often self-indulgent, there are only glimpses of the brilliance of Phoenix Nights.
It's stupid to feel let down by people who don't even know you exist, but that's exactly how I feel.
Sorry lads, I was hoping for so much more.
