People rave about it but it really is hack, unfunny, shit imo.

Mrs Doyle-there I've said it "breathes out"

Ah go on with yi Mrs doyle was fecking funny Grin

TheCrackFox · 27/08/2012 15:09

Did it really win a bafta? What category? Certainly can't have been for comedy.

Mrsjay · 27/08/2012 15:10

TOWIE WON A BAFTA so a comedy winning a bafta is nothing

picnicbasketcase · 27/08/2012 15:12

Fucking awful pile of shite with no redeeming features whatsoever.

LineRunner · 27/08/2012 15:27

BAFTA

British Awards For Televised Arseholes

Well my Northern Irish mammy aged 64 thinks its an awful pile of old wank. Grin

TheTermagantToaster · 27/08/2012 15:46

Am I the only one who thought it actually WAS a repeat of something dire from the 70s? Blush

Technoviking · 27/08/2012 15:49

I like it, though I don't laugh quite as much as DW. Too many of the jokes are too obvious.

Keith Lemon is a turd.

QuickQuickSloe · 27/08/2012 16:12

YANBU it's a pile of shite.

I also hate In with the Flynns. Utter clap trap with a shaky camera.

SusanneLinder · 27/08/2012 16:17

Mrs Doyle was okay-she just went on a bit :o. Though the scone episode was hilarious when they got locked up in the police cells :o

I believe it's well known that Brendan O'Carroll is not exactly Mr Popularity. Indeed that would explain why all the other performing twats are related to him. And in one case, married to him.

Here you go

The Mammy. Failing to sell at 99p.

QuangleWangleQuee · 27/08/2012 19:39

It's appallingly bad, but for me it falls into the category of "So bad it's good." So for that reason i love to watch it.

ViviPru · 27/08/2012 19:41

YANBU. Completely agree, OP.

Compounded by the fact the PiLs love it.

Urgh. It's. Not. FUNNY.

SoleSource · 27/08/2012 19:44

Made me a laugh a few times but that wad it so I have not watched it for yonks.

A million times in agreement with TheCrackFox its like they blew the dust off some shite scripts from the 70's and thought, 'why not'?!

It is a man in a dress saying "feck" a lot. Utter, utter wank.

AlexReidsLonelyBraincell · 27/08/2012 19:53

I don't know if it was completely Irish or just starred a delectable Irishman but I loved Black Books. :)

LineRunner · 27/08/2012 19:56

Black Books had Ed Byrne in it. He played the teenager on the phone in Father Ted.

osterleymama · 27/08/2012 19:59

It so fucking awful I cannot BELIEVE someone commissioned it. I don't know anyone else Irish who doesn't hate it too.
