Just creating a thread for this sitcom as it starts next month. It's part of BBC2's on-going attempts to find a sitcom that works in the Thursday's Are Funny slot (how many failed sitcoms have we had in a row in that slot now?!?)
The cast includes talented people like Olivia Colman which is promising, but it is about young gay boys which could prove to be a bit too, um, 'issue filled' for a BBC2 sitcom? We'll have to wait and see how they present it I guess.

HAHAH! Just your cup of tea, zooo. Well, your glass of Coke anyway. Interesting to see Olivia blonde. I shall wait with intrigued hesitation.
Damn, yes, a bit young after all.

It does look interesting though! I'm sure I'll watch.

Now this looks to be very entertaining after the disasters that were 'The Cup' and 'Lab Rats' maybe Thrusday will be funny again.

Here's a preview clip...

I'm all for a bit of camp on my box (ahem, no jokes please), but I'm starting to worry this show is just going to be too much of a camp overdose for me to handle!

I agree. I don't think the signs look good. Too camp for it's own good. It almost makes you want them to bring back Section 28 so that anybody openly promoting homsexuality in this way could have a short spell in prison.

From the clips I've seen it neither looks like Reading (which I know very well) and no one seems to have a Reading accent. Reading has much comic potential but it doesn't look (from the little I've seen and heard) like this show is using this. Maybe it shouldn't have been place specific?

Does Reading have an accent?

It certainly does. Ricky Gervais has got one.

Precisely. It's quite a difficult one to do too.

Y'know, I didn't laugh very much, but I really thought that that was ace. Great story, great cast - and a really good theme tune too. Not too camp, as some had feared it may be. Nicely balanced.

I thought it was cack. Might just be a case of bedding in,but I just found it painful, and not at all funny.
Just like the Vikings!
