Just-Being-Me
I love this, it made me laugh from start to finish, i really enjoyed watching this, this is what comedy should be like. These guys are just down to earth and naturally funny. I think the actors are brilliant at playing these roles.I would recommend this to anyone wanting a good laugh, with good acting etc. I really can't see any reason why anyone wouldn't like this, it is a top comedy. It is funny seeing these two guys together, Max being the more serious one and Paddy being the more childish, wild one. Max respecting women, Paddy doing the complete opposite, who would have thought these characters would work so well together.Definitely worth a 9 out of 10 if not a 10 / 10. Brilliant.

Road to Nowhere is taking two of Peter Kay's most loved characters from Phoenix Nights (three if you count Kay's Brian Potter) and turning them into a series. Written and directed by Peter Kay himself, this was a really good comedy in 2004. Peter Kay and Patrick McGuinness star as Max and Patrick (Paddy). These are two ordinarily funny blokes travelling across the country to nowhere. Basically they just like to travel. But when they do stop in places they have many weird and wonderful experiences concerning relationships, the van and the environment they are in. With a brilliant opening credits and two lovable characters (and comedians) this is quality comedy. It was number 37 on The 100 Greatest TV Treats 2004. Very good!

I was rather disappointed with the first episode of Max & Paddy's Road To Nowhere; a spin off series chronicling the adventures of the hapless bouncers from Bolton.It didn't have the same spark, the same ability to make you laugh.But, as the series is progressing, I am beginning to like it.The same jokes which only Northerners will get are there, and really a clash of cultures take place. A little ott at times, some great scenarios are created.Some special appearances will please the Phoenix fans, and newcomers will become engrossed in a story which actually makes you care about the characters.

Peter Kay returns with the funny Patrick McGuinness taking a prominent role in this side splitting comedy - he has come a long way from his bit part as a curly haired muppet in Kay's The Services.I was laughing from start to finish - with the spoof of Dirty Dancing just incredible. Surely a scene that will be discussed and mimicked for years to come. Anyone who enjoys Kay's previous shows and those who enjoy light-hearted humour will love this series.A must!Long Live Paddy and Max.
