Two blokes sitting in a car. 13 episodes.. just plain fantastic! It comedy at it's finest

I ran, after watching the first 2 episodes.

With the exception of April (played by Harriet Dyer), I found the characters irritating rather than amusing. Rather than take the Brooklyn Nine-Nine route (incompetence within a relatively realistic milieu), they've chosen the route of supremely farcical incompetence and have failed to make this funny.

Look at what happened at the end of episode 1 (no spoilers here) and how this is effectively forgotten by the beginning of episode 2. How does that make any sort of sense, unless this is a farce? In which case, it needs to be a good farce. This is just a bad farce about a bad force. Watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine instead.

Stumbled across this on bbc iPlayer......Has to be one of the funniest tv shows I've seen in a long time. Script is great, characters are superb and humoursly acted. Stokes mannerisms are genius. Why it hasn't had any publicity I have no idea, it is up there, just wish there was more. At times I was in stitches!

The BBC have just shown this in the UK, and I'm so glad they did. It is right up there with The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Detectorists, Peep Show and This Country.

The writing is exceptional, but it works so well because of the actors. Their timing, delivery and expressions are perfect. These people are real. You care about them, and that's what makes great comedy work. Can we have some more series, please?

Found this by accident. W ow, so funny. Check it out! I laughed all day.
