I first watched on i-player and thought it was brilliant, Then watched the complete series and was so impressed . the characters work so well together and the whole scenario is so true to life. Hope this returns . The two main characters were really convincing in their portrayal of a couple of strangers brought together in a car share. I thought the episode with the fishmonger on his way to work was brilliant - just how people react in reality. I liked the way the series ended too , no happy ever after ending but just how things usually pan out and also leaves one with the thought that there may be the possibility of another series
... View MoreA return to form for Peter Kay, and I was pleasantly surprised by his costar Sian Gibson who held her own.Car Share rates as the best new British Comedy of 2015, building into an unlikely romance - two ordinary Co-op (?) employees finding each other on the daily commute. Filled with subtle throw-away gags, many hidden in the scenery or soundtrack and the occasional surreal daydream the whole effect is adorable and heartwarming! Can't wait for the US remake with some better looking stars - Ashton Kutcher & Jennifer Anniston perhaps?Perhaps leave this one to the Lancastrians...
... View MorePeter Kay's done it again with his latest series Car Share. Subtle, touching and in places, laugh out loud brilliance coupled with a simple concept, this is a masterclass of how to make a sitcom that's actually funny. On paper the idea of a comedy with basically just two characters in a car, talking, sounds rubbish but when it's got Mr. Kay in it you know it's going to work. A special mention must surely go to the superb Sian Gibson. What a hidden gem she is and perfect as the likable Kayleigh. Her comedic timing and delivery are an ideal match for Kay's character, John. Quite where she has been hiding and why we've never seen her in any other comedy is beyond me. I'm just hoping there will be a second and indeed third series and why not when you consider the amount of dross that's around pretending to be funny.
... View MoreAfter a very poor run for British comedy, Peter Kays Car Share is a breath of fresh air. Comedy on the mainstream TV channels as been extremely poor these last few years, and if we get anything like car share to break up the mediocrity, it is more than welcome. It is no Phoenix Nights, nor is it up there with other greats such as Blackadder or Partridge, but it is certainly much better than most things labelled as "comedy" on TV these days. Kay & Sian Gibson both work brilliantly together & hopefully we can look forward to repeat series in the future !!8/10 from me.
