Jackson Booth-Millard I had seen many bits and pieces, mainly various outtakes on Blunder shows, and one full episode (the final one, "Delivery"), and when I finally decided to get the whole lot, I was very pleased. The series started with BAFTA winning (and nominated), British Comedy Award winning, and National Television Award nominated Martin Clunes as Gary Strang, Leslie Ash as Deborah and British Comedy Award winning (and nominated) Caroline Quentin as Dorothy, but originally Harry Enfield was the fourth member of the gang, as Dermot, but he apparently wasn't comfortable, and replacement Neil Morrissey as Tony Smart made the show what we know today. The series basically revolved around best mates Gary and Tony (and for that first series, Dermot, but forget about him now) who share a two bedroom home. They are two grown up men who act like kids, and spend most time either drinking in their local, at home having all male conversations (while drinking), or lingering after their love interests, Gary with Dorothy, and Tony with Deborah. Also starring Ian Lindsay as George, Valerie Minifie as Anthea, Dave Atkins as Les and John Thomson as Ken, with appearances by young Catherine Tate as Young Woman, EastEnders' Tamzin Outhwaite as Girl in Pub, Sugar Rush's Sara Stewart as Judy, EastEnders' Amanda Drew as Wendy and EastEnders' Lucy Speed as Chambermaid. The dialogue was good, the slapstick was good, the stories were good, and of course, Clunes and Morrissey are perfect, a good series that will never get boring, no matter how many times you've seen it. It was twice nominated the BAFTA for Best Comedy (Programme or Series), it won (and was nominated for) the British Comedy Award for Best BBC/ITV Sitcom/Comedy, and it twice won the National Television Award Most Popular Comedy Series, and it was nominated for Most Popular Comedy Programme. Martin Clunes was number 35 on TV's 50 Greatest Stars, the episode "Performance" was number 37 on The 100 Greatest Christmas Moments, and the programme was number 16 on Britain's Best Sitcom. Very good!
cari_73 Brilliant, hilarious, crude, and did I say brilliant!!! Neil is great in these series, as is Martin, Caroline and Leslie. The look at their hum-drum lives couldn't be funnier and yet so close to the heart of so many of us out there!!! These two unlikely house-mates (Clunes and Morrisey) somehow make a fantastic coupling of characters which tug at the funny-bones, and even a little at the heartstrings, as they try to impress (but often insult) the patient and persevering Deborah and Dorothy. Not to mention their less than impressive career moves. Leaves a certain American series starring a certain American comedian for dead!!!
J. Taste men behaving badly is one of the funniest sitcoms ever made which is about 2 flat mates Gary and Tony In the first series Gary played by Martin Clunes lives with his flat mate Dermott played by the annoying Harry Enfield whilst going out with his long suffering girlfriend Dorthey played by Caroline Quientin when their new neighbour Debs played by Leslie Ash moves in Gary and D Dermott are smitten. Tony played by Neil Morriesy joins in series 2 to replace Dermott who has moved abroad. Tony was a lot funnier then Dermott which is the reason he is in from series 2 until the last ever episode. Over all Martin Clunes shines as the silly yet lovable Gary Strang who the manager of a little security firm where he belittles his 2 assistants George and Anthea who are also quite witty. Tony is a simple yet lovable rogue who spends most of the time lusting after Debs and the rest of the time drinking lager with Gary This is a must see for all lager and comedy fans Caroline Quientin is a lot stronger then Leslie Ashs character. A true classic.
Antman65uk "Men Behaving Badly", in my opinion is the most underrated comedy ever, it is just utterly brillant and could'nt believe it only came 15th in the nations best sitcom.The reason it so good is because it is not only is really funny but also shows you how much friendship means. I would love a "Mate", like tony or gary and have such a great laugh like they do. I wish one more episode would made to see what the gang would be doing now after six years away from us. The best thing about "Men Behaving Badly", is that Its the only comedy (well except for Only fools) has got me in utter stiches and made me cried with laughter.MEN BEHAVING BADLY IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!
