Thanks for the memories!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I'm in pretty much disagreement with Mr Depressive there... In my opinion This series is a Benchmark of the re-birth of British comedy, - its nothing like what we loved to see in the 70s, ... but it does churn out frequent laughs!! The outtakes are pure comedy, and if the series its self didn't provide a giggle, then these will !!! If you haven't seen the series, in episode one, Max and Paddy, after stealing a speakerless Plasma screen, decide to go on a night out... they hit the floor, and it becomes apparent that Max (Kay) cannot dance ... so Paddy teaches him how (think dirty dancing scenes) - they both go out, and pull a couple of live wires, who eventually rob them. episode two, sees the pairs motorhome breakdown, leaving them stranded, - note an appearance from Noddy Holder, as a Irritating Brummie Mechanic, with two beefy side kicks Les, and Dennis !! into episode 3, he visits an old School mates 40th party where he bumps into Tina, the midget ex girlfriend ! - after hearing she has a son by him, he hijacks the School bus, before landing himself in jail, - Ep4 sees him in jail, and getting on the wrong side of a tribe of beefy queers... Eventually, we see them granted release,back into the world, where back on the road, they end up knocking over a cow, ... after being duped by a senile farmer, they end up with a pig, and we trawl through th countryside seeing them trying to offload it, ... and 6 sees Paddy shot in the arse, after Max's psycho mate, befriends them again.Obviously this is by no means a genourous enough anaolgy - but its well worth a watch !

Road to Nowhere is taking two of Peter Kay's most loved characters from Phoenix Nights (three if you count Kay's Brian Potter) and turning them into a series. Written and directed by Peter Kay himself, this was a really good comedy in 2004. Peter Kay and Patrick McGuinness star as Max and Patrick (Paddy). These are two ordinarily funny blokes travelling across the country to nowhere. Basically they just like to travel. But when they do stop in places they have many weird and wonderful experiences concerning relationships, the van and the environment they are in. With a brilliant opening credits and two lovable characters (and comedians) this is quality comedy. It was number 37 on The 100 Greatest TV Treats 2004. Very good!

I was rather disappointed with the first episode of Max & Paddy's Road To Nowhere; a spin off series chronicling the adventures of the hapless bouncers from Bolton.It didn't have the same spark, the same ability to make you laugh.But, as the series is progressing, I am beginning to like it.The same jokes which only Northerners will get are there, and really a clash of cultures take place. A little ott at times, some great scenarios are created.Some special appearances will please the Phoenix fans, and newcomers will become engrossed in a story which actually makes you care about the characters.

I have watched all three episodes of Max & Paddy and have laughed out loud again and again. OK it's not as good as Phoenix Nights, but M & P shouldn't be compared to this because of the all the different characters within Phoenix Nights that allow this to create more comedy moments.The Mick Bustin episode is the best so far and the wood scenes were Peter Kay and Paddy McGuiness through and through. I think it's best to watch the episodes a couple of times as this gives you the chance to pick up on things missed the first time around. Anyone who has watched any Peter Kay material knows that you must watch everything a few times to appreciate all the comedy classic moments.I laughed more the second time of watching all the episodes.All I can say is lets celebrate people who are trying to make us laugh and not knock them down. I hope Peter and Paddy carry on as a double act because I think they're classic!!How far away are they?
