Any fans here?

New series starts tonight, BBC1 at 8.30pm called 'The Green Green Grass'

[quote=tv guide]New comedy series by John Sullivan, following the lives of Only Fools and Horses characters Boycie and Marlene. Denzil tells Boycie the infamous Driscoll Brothers are after the supergrass who had them jailed - prompting the car salesman to sell his business and move to rural Shropshire. John Challis and Sue Holderness star, with a guest appearance by Paul Barber

Cast: John Challis, Sue Holderness, Jack Doolan, Paul Barber, David Ross, Robert Putt[/quote]

Just a heads up :)

I'll give it a go. Can't see it being as good as the real deal but you never know. Same writers apparently.

It was a travesty that Sullivan continued writing OF&H after he had ended it with them becoming millionnaires. That was the perfect conclusion to the series. I am disappointed that the cast and writer were lured back to cheapen the entire phenomena with a series of poor quality cash-ins.

Added: This is dire with poor line delivery it is very 2nd rate, but perhaps it will find its feet... My Family was more amusing.

Funny I was going to mention that but thought no one would know what I was on about.

What about Frasier, that was one of the best comedy shows of recent years.

I thought the green green grass was ok and has some potential.

You were right, it was crap. I should have spent the time reorganising my toenail collection.

I thought it was good, although I did miss the last 5 minutes as I had to go back to work. the last programme that made me laugh as much was only fools and horses itself.
