The famous Kiki clip on Youtube made me watch this show, and I'm glad i did. This show is hilarious & entertaining from start to finish. The dialogues are very well written & made me genuinely laugh our loud numerous times throughout. Also the story is simple & straightforward, so it's easy to get into. At no point i felt bored or disinterested. All the characters have their own personalities & bring their own flair to the show. Ronald is a selfish but hilarious knob, Bib is a funny-unfunny guy, Kiki is dumb in the cutest way possible, and all the rest of the characters have their own attractive qualities. This show is a must watch IMO. I just hate the fact that they never made more seasons of it. Oh well, something is better than nothing!
This is one of the rare comedies that are actually funny! This one had me in stitches several times, and laughing often. A great cast of characters -- what a shame there's only one season!
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.
Whites is laugh out loud (excuse the cliché) and intelligent comedy. I keep finding that European comedies are replacing all my previous favorites. Intelligent mixed with silly and sometimes the down right absurd. Whites is no exception with Kiki providing the absurd. I am disappointed that this was so short lived and would beg BBC and the producers to bring it back. There is a depth to the characters and an engaging storyline that is now incomplete and deserving of much more. I would prefer it stay strictly British though. Few comedies of this caliber rarely translates well into an American production (The Office excluded). Please bring Whites back or produce more of the same for us Americans who are intelligent and love humor both.
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!
