Stevens & McCarthy

Thankfully they're only short episodes.

Terrible and outdated/unoriginal material. Awfully shot and directed. Stolen characters from Chewin the fat and others but they're not versatile enough to make the repetive and unoriginal scenes land. The pacing is like a granny scooter through an aisle at Morrison's. But that's more entertaining and less infuriating. The cast have been good in other shows but this needs some explaining. This shouldn't have been given the green light.

The production values are atrocious and look so cheap. I think 90% of comedy unit looks cheap. Especially these run of pilots. If this is the standard of comedy television in this country, I'd rather watch soup burn. There's more character in potatoes.

Comedy unit in Scotland is always cheap looking but this is cheap all over. Unfunny, slow paced. The writing is atrocious. Stolen unfunny gags and tropes from other shows. And the cast don't have the versatility to diversify it. All for all female programming but there are plenty of actually funny actors out there. You just won't find it here. Maybe if they did a show that wasn't sketch and character based. There just isn't any range in here. And the west coast Glasgow comedy vibe is just old. Scotland deserves better. Why don't we have things like 30 Rock or US office kicking about. Instead it's rough and poor sketch shows badly directed written and produced.

The smokers felt like a Chewin the fat rip off, the sisters felt dull and unimaginative and far too long, the vegans was a tired stereotype that made me dislike the actors for thinking they were above this, there was a sniff of something in the ambulance but I can't see that running a series, the neds are an unfunny Kevin and Perry which is dated, the odd reality stars with the teeth and worst green screen was enough to turn off. Which I would have if it wasn't 10 minutes long. The fact the show is named after the two leads makes you think they have a trick up their sleeve but they don't. Recast and rename this with more diversified talent and scripts. Otherwise it's fit for the bin.

Tired, clichéd, unfunny. Awful!

The wedding dress sketch is one of the worst comedy sketches I have ever seen. The ned sketch is about 15 years late to be relevant and has been done a thousand times anyway. Best sketch is the hipster vegans - everything else just so so so bad.
