Car Share

I saw trailers for this which led to a splurge watch on iplayer before its TV appearance. Thoroughly enjoyable. Excellent performances from the cast, the characters are believable within their own world, though just a little exaggerated of course, but there is the familiarity to ensure a connection. Very good chemistry between the two and i wonder how much was ad libbed, some of their own amusement at each in the car seems genuine mirth with a hint of corpsing at times. Good support too from some familiar faces. I'd love to see a second series but wonder whether the format can carry that to the same level (as was the case with the Trip and the Trip to Italy which struggled a little). DVD soon please.

Comedy, like most genres, is a personal preference and, from my own viewpoint, I had a blast this afternoon as I became immersed in the Car Share onscreen camaraderie that I stumbled across. I guess an upside of the covid-19 pandemic has provided an opportunity to watch various programmes I'd probably have otherwise overlooked...this being one programme where I wasn't disappointed.

Personally, for me as a viewer, I'd be inclined to say Peter Kaye and Sian Gibson are naturals...I'm sure there are other viewers who found the show entertaining and, are with me when I subtly express ....

• ok maybe not the right use of the word ....pedantic much ........let's adopt the word .....succinctly ...

....when I 'succinctly' convey to Peter and Sian to...'come back my car share buddy......'

Thanks to all involved for much needed laughter.

Peter Kay's done it again with his latest series Car Share. Subtle, touching and in places, laugh out loud brilliance coupled with a simple concept, this is a masterclass of how to make a sitcom that's actually funny. On paper the idea of a comedy with basically just two characters in a car, talking, sounds rubbish but when it's got Mr. Kay in it you know it's going to work. A special mention must surely go to the superb Sian Gibson. What a hidden gem she is and perfect as the likable Kayleigh. Her comedic timing and delivery are an ideal match for Kay's character, John. Quite where she has been hiding and why we've never seen her in any other comedy is beyond me. I'm just hoping there will be a second and indeed third series and why not when you consider the amount of dross that's around pretending to be funny.

The best comedy on British TV for years. Peter Kay at his best - likable, subtle and very, very funny. You need to watch the episodes a few times to catch all the background humour from the radio station and off shot signs etc "Husband Missing. Last seen entering....." "Brillington College ......"

A comedy that slowly turned into a love story that will surely be recommissioned sooner rather than later.

Mr Kay was predictably good and Sian Gibson was more than a match.

For a change the Beeb didn't let a new comedy stew for a series or two on BBC 3 or 4.

Superb. Can't wait for more.

A return to form for Peter Kay, and I was pleasantly surprised by his costar Sian Gibson who held her own.

Car Share rates as the best new British Comedy of 2015, building into an unlikely romance - two ordinary Co-op (?) employees finding each other on the daily commute.

Filled with subtle throw-away gags, many hidden in the scenery or soundtrack and the occasional surreal daydream the whole effect is adorable and heartwarming!

Can't wait for the US remake with some better looking stars - Ashton Kutcher & Jennifer Anniston perhaps?

Perhaps leave this one to the Lancastrians...
