There are two shows that this Alan Carr effort really remind me of.
This is a 1980s version of two 1970s classics. The Dudley based Grimleys that starred Amanda Holden, Brian Conley, James Bradshaw and the real star turn, Noddy Holder. Then there was the much too short lived and brilliant Cradle to Grave. Difficult to look past the tour de force that was Peter Kay, utter genius in C2G (ably abetted by the fantastic Lucy Speed).
Hopefully Changing ends gets a longer run than Cradle to Grave which was criminally short at 6 episodes.
We've obviously moved far enough away from the 1980s to be able to eulogise it in the way that Ashes to Ashes etc. Did for the 1970s.
Carr's personal intrusions are well timed and well written, particularly the Prince / George Michael gag (Too soon?)
There are little lines like "Touch my Blue Nun and you're out" which will resonate with anyone born late 1960s hitting the full force of 1980s UK naffness at the Beefeater with Prawn Cocktail and Black Forest Gateau.
The star of it all, Oliver Savell, does an excellent job portraying the young Carr and hopefully he will have the career he wants from this like Laurie Kynaston and James Bradshaw before him.
The soundtrack is excellent too. So all in all an excellent first series that doesn't drag or outstay its welcome. Here is to more...It would be good to take this to sixth form. So at least 3 more series please.

It's not perfect, nothing is. It gets 10 because it's as good as you get from this type of nostalgice wishy washy comedy soap.....
How BORING are the reviews whining about it/ Not sure what they're after or what makes them happy, but for me this is perfect eighties nostalgia fora Britain I didn't even grow up in... But Australia was similar, the bloody eighties was odd af no matter where you were..... Sydney back then was like this..
I loved the Football element and how it was so easily brished aside despite being so important to dad.. I loved the mums support and backing of her son no matter what and the dad who backed him too..
Over all it ticked boxes, thoughtful funny and entertaining... if not ten then what?

Just a very funny, sincere, very well acted comedy. For Brits of a certain age, the 80s references and nostalgia are spot on, much of it too obscure I'm sure for those not there at the time to appreciate fully.
Much of the comedy comes from two ongoing situations: the catty relationship between Alan's mum and the neighbours who live opposite, which mainly consists of a trade in (sharply witty) back-handed insults, and the other situation of course being Alan's campness, oddball unconformity, his path to discovering that he is gay.
A couple of reviews here have given totally unjust 1 ratings, citing that it's just a one trick gag which wears thin, but I didn't find that at all. I was chuckling throughout every episode. The campness of the young Alan is so well done, and the writing so on point, that it remains funny even after 12 episodes.
I'm not sure how non-Brits will receive this comedy, maybe it works fine, but I would highly recommend for Brits anyway.
Writing this having watched two seasons, and glad to hear that a further two seasons are planned.

Changing ends is a 2023 British comedy for ITVX. It is a semi autobiographical series from comedian Alan Carr about growing up in Northampton during the 1980s, the son of a professional football manager. My mum was the one who told me to watch this as it was so good. OMG it was brilliant! The storyline was excellent I've not laughed that much, kind of sad in places. First episode was so good and continues through out. Oliver Savell is so perfect in playing a young Alan Carr he deserves award for his performance outstanding and incredible funny. In fact all the cast are good in playing their characters. Very well produced and directed. There don't do much comedies like there use to and changing ends is just so funny. You could watch them over and over again and would still be funny. To much gloom and doom on tv and very depressing stuff so it was nice to watch a light hearted very funny tv series. Changing ends consist of 1 series with 6 episodes and are going to make a 2nd series. Can't wait. If you like comedies then this a must watch it will certainly cheer you up. Best comedy I've seen in awhile. Don't go by the negative comments it's bloody fantastic. Sit back get comfy and get watching this very funny sitcom. It sure is a laugh 😊
Extreamly Funny A lot of what i can relate to. Even though i am srait but in school i was extreamly feminate hated football and PE was made to do it .I remember one day getting onto my desk and doing impressions of animals to get laughs out of my class mates who where Bullies .But it worked It never made me popular but for that brief moment i had my class doubled with laughter .Its still made me no friends apart from one or two .. But i found having a sence of humer and using it gained me an advantage ,our school never had a drama class..We need more of this 26+27 mins is too short it needs more episodes like young sheldon 14+18 episodes not 6 could have watched more ..so Alan if you see this well done.

- WissenswertesAt least 450 child actors auditioned for the role of Alan but it was Oliver Savell who was ultimately chosen when Alan Carr himself got choked up watching his audition.
