It's one of the few ads that work for me - likeable well-cast actors, amusing situations, I's definitely watch a sitcom based on them.

Yes, it could work, Game On!
That's just my life in general

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that -- they really do look alike.

Can't stand the ad's so no I wouldn't watch a sitcom based on them.

It basically already is a sitcom. A really really terrible one with very blatant product placement.

The only saving grace is that each episode is only 30 seconds long.

TV comedy's quite bad enough without making this cringeworthy effort into a sitcom.

I do feel quite bad for Daniel Rigby though - his career started off so well ..

Why are the BT adverts always shit? Remember the one with that nasty woman and the one who used to be in My Family? And then she got pregnant and the audience could vote who the baby's father was? Or something.

As has already been mentioned, there was an awesome flat-share sitcom featuring two guys and a girl - Game On!

It's long overdue a comeback.

Now you come to mention it, they do look very alike. Same face shape and eye colour. Maybe the girl is Joe in a dress because BT need to cut down on the cost of actors in ads!

I notice that the 'haters' are accusing the OP of being somehow associated with the drama. This is desperation on their behalf.

I started the first topic on this drama and received exactly the same treatment and I can assure you I have zilch to do with it.

I love it. I like the 'students'. They amuse me. If they can keep up the standard long may it continue.

If you like the idea of a student sitcom I'd recommend 'Fresh Meat'. New series coming later this year.

I suppose the one good thing to look forward to us them passing their degrees, most degrees last 3 years and they have done their first year so only another 2 years to go....unless they are all training to be doctors....no must stay positive, the ads will only be on another 2 years...

Same happened to Kris Marshall.
The curse of BT it would seem.

Would have been comedy gold if he had said "bourbon" instead.
I can already hear John Sullivan laughing out loud from beyond the grave.

I think Daniel Rigby could become one of our greatest actors. Thought he was excellent in Eric and Ernie, for which he won a best actor BAFTA. He's also been involved in many stage productions, especially Shakespeare. He was also one of the youngest ever students to attend RADA. Not surprising I suppose, because he has been 'rocking from an early age'.
