Just a heads up that this is starting on More 4, Sunday 14th at 10:40.

If the pilot shown earlier this year is anything to go by, this is going to be another winner.

Can't believe you enjoyed the pilot - I thought it was dire.

Will tune in to the first one to see if it has improved.

It must be my sense of humour or lack thereof. wink

There are certain comedies held in high regard by the masses that I find absolutely woeful, I guess we can't all like the same things!. smile

I remember a load of pilots from earlier in the year shown as a series, the ones I remember were mostly st but saying that the phoneshop got commissioned. I sort of half remember one aboot a yank being a manager over here in a company that didn't exist, or something, was that it?

It's on tonight.

It has a couple of cast members from Arrested Development (best comedy show ever!) so it has potential.

That be the one.

I actually liked Phoneshop, so maybe you should give Todd Margaret a miss. hehe

The original PhoneShop was good, the (4?) episodes recently were crap. I also thought the first Todd Margaret was pretty dire so I don't think I will bother this time round.

He's the guy that was in the wheelchair in that Scary Movie film wasn't he?

Well that was a let down.

I was hoping for a new episode and all they did was just re-record the pilot with a new actor playing his assistant. Pretty sure it was the same script from what I remember.

diabolical. as has been said it appeared to be identical to the pilot and unsurprisingly was even less funny a second time. phone shop was also completely ste I thought.

We rather enjoyed it. Not great but pretty funny
