    Fly on the wall mockumentary that is thoroughly depressing in every way. If you enjoy watching really dumb, moronic, uninteresting characters, a rubbish script and uninspiring backdrop, then this is for you. Gutter comedy without the comedy!

    To fully appreciate the humour and excellent writing of this sitcom, it certainly helps to have grown up in a rural area.Kerry and Kurtan's aimless lives illustrates well the few opportunities (both work and leisure) open to anyone (not just young people) in small villages across the country. Herein lies the characters motivation for attending and not attending carnivals, steam fairs, etc and their very low-jinx escapades. The characters are well defined and recognisable - the psycho neighbour (whose name I can't recall), the old guy (Len) hoarding and complaining in equal measure, the vicar whose benevolence and attempts to help Kerry and Kurtan escape the confines of the village (against their sub-concious wishes) are all brilliantly acted.BBC - commission a third series please.

    Simply outstanding and hillarious comedy writing and acting. This is so close to perfection.

    Loved this series, hope they get the nod to make another 6 episodes. I was a little unsure after the first 10 minutes of episode 1, being new to the characters I instantly noticed a striking similarity between Kurten and Gareth Keenan from The Office which I found a little alarming, but as I became more familiar with the show, it gradually grew on me. One of the unsung hero's of this program is the unseen mum of Kerry Mucklowe, all you hear is the strains of the mother coming from her bedroom shouting at her daughter..and in one episode, a Playstation comes flying out of the window. It's a big shame that this series didn't get a much wider audience , I only happened to hear about it via an interview with the main actor/writer Daisy May Cooper on my local BBC news show 'Points West', it definitely deserves a 2nd showing on BBC2 at a much more reasonable time than the 11:30 BBC1 slot it was getting after Match of the Day on Saturday night. This show is a little gem.
