Obviously this comedy series was not made for my demographic (60+ ) but I latched on to it right away. I just cannot believe how funny it can be. The characters Jerwayne and Ashley are the key to it all and are so well performed you almost believe they are really like that.Tom Bennett as the newby Christopher is perfect also as the innocent middle-class type entering into the big bad world of mobile phone sales. It is not fair to single these guys out though because all the cast perform really well and are hilarious in their own way. The language may well put some viewers off but it is a necessary part of the characters' rhythm of speech. Great writing, performing and staging make this show terrific. I just wish it was a hour (sic) long!!! A HOUR!!!

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!

As the other reviewer has mentioned it may not be for people outside of the UKs taste, well i agree. Being from Ireland i must admit if I hadnt heard about this show and was flicking through the channels i more than likely would have kept going, but I am so glad i didn't give up on it as it is one of my favourite shows right now.Each character is hilarious in their own way and each episode has a great plot where you genuinely want to know what happens, considering the show is 90% in a phone shop (obv) I was happily surprised by this.The first episode i struggled with but after that it was top notch entertainment A brilliant show and one that hopefully has a few more seasons in it!

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.
