Wow...I thought it was EXCELLENT! Very fast paced and good quality one liners. Yes I had the thought re. the similarity of the Green Wing too. Defo my kind of offbeat/wacky humour and I was surprised that it was so good. Not seen anything on that standard on TV for a while now in comedy. Great cast too!
Think we'll see this being shown at 10.40 soon,,,then the second series (if there is one_
will be on ITV2. Let's just hope they haven't made a JOB LOT.....
I used to like Paddy McGuiness before he became famous on the coat tails of Peter Kaye; now he's just an annoyingly loud bighead.
I had this on in the background and it was awful to listen to, were the visuals any better?
I remember the blonde fella from Drop the Dead Donkey but he's struggling here, as for Paddy M, never been sure........................he's no Peter Kaye that's for sure.
I recorded it (dunno why as the trailers didn't look amazing) , looks like I'll delete it!
Well at least give it a try, i.e. 5 - 10 minutes. It depends what you find funny - since I love wacky/oddball humour it was a real treat! If you liked Green Wing you should like it.
Well it made me laugh a lot! (and cough as I'm recovering from a cold :-( )
I've never seen Green Wing but the fast-paced and sarcastic script reminded me a bit of Frasier and Will & Grace. The black nurse and consultant especially were hilarious.

Nope..........green wing was edgy,wacky and very very funny, delivery man was just bloody atrocious.

I think this could become a real hit of a show.
You would get better odds at the bookies for that plaid cymru lady leanne wood winning a majority government in the next election , delivery man is a stinker whose audience will confine it to the sitcom bin in a short period of time where it will reside with me and mrs jones.

I disagree. Delivery man WAS wacky! The humour was quite off the wall...maybe not as surreal as Green Wing but defo in that style. Others here have also remarked on the similarity to Green Wing.
I am wondering if those that disliked it approached it with an open mind. Sometimes - like, if you are not in a good mood - then you are not really conducive to finding things funny.

I know, that's the key reason I'll be watching it.

I watched it for this reason only. She is gorgeous.
