I like this show too. I probably shouldn't as the jokes aren't that great, but there's something infinitely likeable about Colin and Kenneth.

Incidently our guide to the show is here:

I think it's their comedy voices, fantastically nerdy in a realistic and well-observed way. They are so funny that I just start smiling as soon as they say anything.

I hate to disagree, but I really don't rate this show. Seems stodgy and predictable to me, and heavy going at times. Pity, because I normally like the fat bloke in it.
 

I loved the pilot and laughed quite a lot, but the rest of the series has failed to live up to it's initial promise in my opinion.

Good characters though

Bit bored of the same old same old from Rebecca Front however.

She played exactly the same character in that shortlived Johnny Vegas sitcom in which he was a pottery tutor.
 

I've finally got around to listening to the latest episode of this (iPlayer link), the one where they make their own firework.

The first half was pretty average but the second half had me actually giggling to myself - really liked it. What got me was the MI5 inspector going undercover with the kids, and Kenneth's closet homosexuality peaking out (one of the funny lines went something like: "you wouldn't want Gavin Esler blowing up in your face would you Kenneth?"). [Gavin Esler was the name they gave their bomb]

Bit of trivia - Double Science and Hut 33 did a bit of a swap this week, with Alex McQueen popping up as the MI5 agent in Double Science, whilst Ben Willbond was the German spy in Hut 33.

Totally agree with Mark... there, that's saved me typing out an opinion.
