Whites

"2010-" what a tease--I wish there was a possibility of this series coming back for more episodes. Bright, witty, and endearing. Alan Davies is always good but the entire cast is wonderful (can't get enough of Darren Boyd or Katherine Parkinson). Don't know how the Brits decide what continues. But I think their television is more fluid then in the US, so maybe Whites will be back. Hope so.

Stellar writing, a perfect cast, and excellent all-round production that should have lasted way beyond it's single season.

I just discovered this gem via a clip off of Reddit (eggless omelette) and watched all six episodes in a row.

It's full of clever situations, characters that are layered and sympathetic along with laugh-out-loud scenes that were perfectly executed. I can't believe this show didn't get the chance it deserved. Would figure that the BBC dishonorably cut it just because of budget restraints.

Do yourself a favor and watch this intelligently-written, superbly acted treasure.

Cheers!

A hidden gem of a series. Terrible there's only one season of it. I hope they make more!! A lot of British comedies put me off (seem too silly) but not this one. It's hilarious!

Enjoyed this British comedy a great deal and have come to appreciate in particular the comedic talents of Katherine Parkinson, who has appeared in several imports I've liked. I don't understand why Whites only lasted six episodes. The snappy, dry wit is classic, the ability to make small things funny uncanny. Who would think to make a joke out of an eggless omelet? Since I do my viewing on Hulu, I'm able to add them again to my queue and go through them more than once. Whites is good enough to watch more than once -- and unfortunately there aren't that many domestic sitcoms I can say that about. Also unfortunate -- there are only the six episodes.

This is a quirky, witty and quite often laugh-out-load funny comedy about the goings on in the kitchen of a posh restaurant. I really like this series and can't understand why it has received such mixed reviews; It has great characters played by a great cast, is very current in its subject matter (in these days where TV seems obsessed with posh cooking) and is actually funny. Alan Davis plays the main character - a chef called Roland White (hence the name of the program), whom I gather is based on a celebrity chef with the same surname but in French. I find Mr Davis a very likable actor to watch as well as being funny. By the way, it was mainly filmed at Thornbury Castle near Bristol.
