Peacock

There are not many comedy pioneers these days and this is another dose of comedy ambrosia from the team behind People Do Nothing. It's a shame Diane Morgan isn't in it or is she? - I'm only on episode 1...

Funny premise, silly main character, no jokes. No setups. No punchlines. It's like a student film made on a bigger budget. One of those films your mates gets excited to show you and you sit through bland sketches and desperate gurning. I guess this is what BBC Comedy throws money at, trying to recreate the magic of PJDN. Average.

What was the actual point. Got good then ended. What a waste of talent and direction this surely should of been 8 episodes to make sure you get the full development of what there's boys and girls can offer.

This was great fun and extremely well written and acted. Andy's brand of delusion, machismo and banter worked well as he navigated the dating world looking for the one.

Just like People Doing Nothing we, the viewer, needed time to get used to the characters and watching it a second time it was really hilarious.

I'm giving this a firm 6 outta 10 and looked forward to more!

After seeing People Just Do Nothing many years ago, I watched Peacock the day it came out - binged it all and I'm going to revisit again. The plot is hilarious the whole idea of making everything cringe and awkward for comedic effect, it's what they do best. Still bringing the charm it did from PJDN.

The only downside is that you'll be done with it under 2 hours, watching the 3 same episodes may make it harder to re-watch. However it is so much better than The Curse the other series they brought out.

I'm really looking forward to what they bring out next!
