Superb, one of the best laugh out loud series for a long time. On par with Fresh Meat, which is also hilarious. Each character in Phone Shop is dealing with their own individual issues, which is the focus of the show. The only thing they have in common is their Boss, Razzy P, who is a typical shiny salesman. Deffo worth a watch. Worth the 10 star rating

One word for this show.. Genius.This may go missing if shown to an American audience, but for the UK viewers its very easy to relate to and absolutely hilarious!Easy to relate too, everybody in the UK knows what phone salesmen are like, the people who make this show also do and bring it across perfectly.The two characters Ashley and Jerwayne are top notch, the banter they have is hilarious. I can't help but feel they are the stars of the show and if they were not in it then it wouldn't be half as funny. Don't get me wrong, the rest of the cast is good and there are many funny moments, but Ashley and Jerwayne really do steal the show.The one negative for me would be Kayvan Novak (the man from fonejacker). His character is awful, thankfully he's not in it much!It has now been announced that series 3 is to be released later this year. Lets hope for more of the same!

I love this show, being from Sutton myself I find it incredibly funny. Like the other 2 reviews if you're not British u will not get it. The shop is genuine and has moved from it's original site. It is fun to wander past during filming although they do get a few directions wrong.It is wet your pants laughing funny, some of it accurate, some of it not, and it is a somewhat genuine reflection of Sutton when you have to wander in a phone shop and but one of the best comedy series I have seen in a long time.Series 1 best by far but hurry up and release series 3!teddy****spin teddy****spin!

Phoneshop is a edgy and often hilarious black comedy. It has some very strong characters and some very surreal moments full of energy and often psychotic moments. Whilst superficially it appears to pander to a young demographic though slang and sexual references, don't let this put you off as it in fact has some very well written characters. I believe any fan of Green Wing or any Chris Morris production should check this out. The episode in which new boy Christopher has to go out into the street dressed in a bear costume stands out with some hilarious slapstick and surreal comedy moments, along with another episode in which various characters end up locked up in the basement. Can understand why people may not like it and also I guess the humor is very British so may not appeal to any non UK viewers. Glad to hear a second series has been commissioned.Excellent.
