When the series "Perfect World" came out, I loved it.Our local station BNN showed "Dennis Pennis" episodes and also then interviewed Mr. Paul Kaye. Great guy. Series 1 was top notch. Successful businessman, hot girlfriend, nice plots, etc. Series 2 however disappointed me somewhat. He lost his girlfriend, his hair grew and it seemed he didn't care as much anymore. Not the pinnacle of success anymore. A real shame, because after the first series I thought they really had something. So too bad, they couldn't keep the standard and continue on for another few years.

I agree with the previous review, this was a great show, and the fact it didn't get great ratings surprised me, for some reason I always love characters who are complete gits; Bob Slay, Alan B'stard, JR Ewing etc.Paul Kaye fresh from his Dennis Pennis character being just as obnoxious, his boss is just as hilarious, a sex mad fiend who can never see Slay for who he really is.Actually the first series is available on BBC Video to buy, but no mention of it being released on DVD, will just have to record it off the TV onto DVD when it next comes round, that'll teach the BBC not to release it! ;-)

After falling upon this show one late night, I was reasonably impressed with the overall content and comedy of the show, and after tuning in again, I was utterly hooked on it. Paul Kaye (played by Bob Slay) is a classic comedic character. The shows' comedy is original and truly amusing. Each actor plays their role perfectly and all have their own antics and personalities. Paul gets into some interesting situations over the episodes, all extremely clever and comical. The only complaint I have is that it's not played often enough, because I think it has the capability of being a lot more sucessful world-wide than it is.

This show is about the ultimate office slacker - Bob Slay, and his endeavours to impress the old, wily and quite frankly perverted marketing director. There's a piece of Bob Slay in all of us, whether it is seducing the new secretary, sciving off work everyday and still getting a bonus or just being Mr. Wonderful, Bob does it all. Paul Kaye is the perfect cast for this part (one episode even brings up a slight return to his Dennis Pennis character) as are the supporting cast, the gullible Vaughan and the explosive Maggie. Every episode is filled with constant humour and quick wit, with the odd innuendo in now and again (which is an understatement). I hope they make a third series.
