studioAT Bradley Walsh is a funny guy. As is Kayan Novak. Put them in this BBC sitcom that's trying to be somewhere between 'The Pink Panther' and 'Minder' however and they both come out of it looking like the most unfunny men on the planet.The farcical elements are all well and good, we know that Novak is a man of a million voices, but some of the jokes are so cringe worthy that you wince rather than laugh.The always lovely Emma Pierson is a welcome addition, but there's a good reason this show didn't make it to series 2 and that's that it was so cartoonish that people couldn't get on with it.Comedy is a hard nut to crack. Just ask the writers of this show.

rjtattersall Got to say first time I watched this show I thought it was the worst thing I had ever seen. But once you realise its silly fun TV with crazy characters you will grow to care about, its unmissable (sort of like a Will Ferrell movie for TV) The other great thing about this series is its there for all the family, my 8 year loves it beyond love and my 13 year will also watch episodes on repeat.Shame so many people would rather be miserable rather than enjoy what is a brilliant piece of TV comedy gold.Bradley Walsh deserves a lot of credit for his brilliant off the wall portrayal of Brutus, his facial expressions, one liners and comic timing really push this show from average to brilliant.Please please BBC give us a second series!!

Patrick Crowley I flicked over to the first episode in error and started to watch. My initial reaction was 'this is awful'... but it's totally won me over. Bradley Walsk is excellent the constant one-liners are sometimes good, sometimes cringeworthy but always raise a smile. Novak is a scene-stealer with great regularity. Don't tune in to this if you don't like slapstick, stupid comedy - because that's exactly what it is. The 4th episode (Casino) had me laughing out loud. Well done to the BBC for getting this on air - although, given most reviews, I'd say this may be the one and only season :-(

Ben Franklin I loved this sitcom right from the get-go. It has got the brilliant tongue-in-cheekiness about it, just like classic sitcoms of the past. I just hope it runs and runs as it is the kind of show I can always turn to whenever I am in need of cheering up. Great stuff!All the lead roles have been filled by people who can portray their characters with insightful genius and not just appear as a two-dimension version. Some times it takes a little bravery to achieve that, but I think all the characters deserve top marks for creating characters that are funny, interesting and entertaining at the same time.And it is nice to see something set in the sun that isn't Benidorm.
