Who the heck directed/ filmed this ? It must surely be the worst camera work ever ! The constant zooming in and out has drove me nuts after only 10 minutes. I have switched off. What do others think ? as i.m.o it just looks very poor.:confused:

    Cheez

    Have the BBC Hierarchy who absconded with £Billions of our money left only peanuts for any new shows.

    The last few "comedies" Big school, etc were dire and amature

    This is just dreary tosh. Tompkinson still playing his one trick pony. soft as sht vicar from Ballykisangel. Like watching wet newspaper drip on a cloths line.

    The BBC need to be brought to account for stealing our money for Rewarding sh*t and poor quality incompetance from the bottom to the board.

    BBC........Bad Beneath Contempt.

    the word is Shameful.

    anything that relies on a flash of female buttocks in the first minute can only be desperate work to keep you interested.

    I've mostly been watching to see if I can spot locations it's been filmed in! It's filmed in & around Nottingham and a couple of the scenes were filmed near where I live!

    enjoy it for pointless tosh mmm....??

    I dont have the drugs , or lobotomy sorry.

    Steven Tomlinson in budgie smugglers in repeated scenes is a retina burning image for what it is.

    yet another BBC comission that is poor quality to entertain, inform and :yawn:

    sorry. :)

    This was an hour of total blandness. No story. Characters I didn't care about. It wasn't even something you could call a slow-burner. It did nothing, and went nowhere. I though it was going to be a comedy-drama. It ended up being neither. I'll give it another go next week. But only to see if the story actually moves on and/or does something. Very dissapointing

    And for a series called 'Truckers'. There was a total of about 10 minutes actual trucking in it.

    Hay the last scene was pretty much fall of trucks what more do you want :D

    Same here -

    I don't like Stephen Tompkinson as an actor either but think he really nailed the Nottingham accent. Wasn't going to watch it but saw this morning that it was written by Billy Ivory who is a Nottingham born and bred writer who has done some good stuff (and he used to drink in our pub :D) so gave it a go.
    I quite enjoyed it for what it was and will watch it next week - a different employee featured each week.

    Too stupid to be drama, totally unfunny, so can't be a comedy.

    That's maybe why they called it a comedy-drama.

    I think the director has just finished his media studies course - the totally unnecessary camera movement made me feel sick. And the dialogue, I think, would have been very funny in text, in a book maybe. But it wasn't the sort of things people actually say.

    By the end I was hoping it was a one-off; alas, no. It's on next week, but I for one won't be watching it.

    Who's the "woman from Corrie"?

    I saw the title and assumed it was a reality series about well, you know. Anyway looks like I've not missed any 'must see tv' ;)
