Channel 4 have been running advert for their new 'comedy' PhoneShop due to premier on our screens the 7th October, you can however watch the first episode now on 4OD.
I can't believe that something with such promise has turned out so badly, I'd imagined that with it being set in a Phone Shop there is plenty of material that we could all relate to. This is possibly the worst 'comedy' I have EVER had the misfortune of sitting through, I realised within minutes the level this was set at, however I forced myself to watch it all thinking it might get better, it didn't. I got 20 minutes in to the 25 minute show, I couldn't force myself any longer to waste my time.
Anybody else took a look at this show? What are your thoughts?

I didn't think it was funny but I'm biased and live right near Sutton and go there a lot.

I won't be watching this.
I thought the Campus pilot was much better and showed more promise.
It was definitely more my type of humour, but then I liked A Very Peculiar Practice and Green Wing.
It is just not funny
The advert doesn't sell it one bit.
E4 comedies are never funny (apart from the inbetweeners)
No doubt this crap will get low ratings but still get a second series like the School of Comedy did.
Indeed. It looks shocking.
Me too - it was so awful I kept wondering when Amanda Holden was going to put in an appearance
It's set in Sutton. Also known as Slutton.
It was this that almost put me off watching the Inbetweeners when it first aired.
I had no idea.
Why must white folk talk like US rappers?
I hate to say it, but it makes Pete vs Life look like a masterpiece.
Another new programming Epic Fail for C4.
Campus has been made into a series, don't know when it's airing though...
Will tune in again next week to give it a fair chance, but I hold out absolutely no hope for this show redeeming itself.
