Not sure what this will be like

Danny dryer aka mick from ee as a comedy that's been linked like Gavin and Stacey (which I love and roll on Xmas)

Can he do comedy ?

6 parter that's on wed at 9 and 930

Mr Bigstuff explores broken families, fragile masculinity and carpet sales.

It tells the story of two estranged brothers; Glen, a nervy perfectionist striving to live the suburban ideal and Lee, an alpha male with a prescription drug addiction and a biscuit tin full of his dad's ashes.
Glen and his fiancée share a perfect, perfectly mundane life together.

Sure, Glen's got crippling erectile dysfunction and Kirsty has a secret shoplifting habit, but they're happy.

That is until Lee comes crashing into their lives, whilst on the run from a past that's quickly catching up with him.

The trio are forced together: a perfectionist, a fantasist and an anarchist all living under the same roof in an Essex cul-de-sac.

It's not long before their 'perfect' lives start to unravel faster than a cheap carpet.

Blondes, I'm scanning through TV Addicts looking for something to watch, and you're not really selling this to me! 😀

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/07/2024 10:15

Ha ha ha

There are many other good things to watch

The jetty
Turkish detective
Suspect
A girls guide to murder
High country

I'm not 100% sure of this

Mainly as I don't think dd can act well

I watched the 1st episode of this - very funny I thought. One word Spoons!

OKherewegoagain · 20/07/2024 15:33

I am watching it and so far so good got Tommo from brassic who I love.

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/07/2024 20:15

Yes he wrote it as well

Just watched the first one. It is very much "from the people who brought you Brassic", isn't it? Although I don't think cuddly Danny Dyer is a scary as Terence McCann! 😄

Tagyoureit · 20/07/2024 23:27

Mick left Linda for this???

I've just watched the first episode and I'm most upset!!

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/07/2024 00:02

Piglets was funnier

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/07/2024 03:58

duc748 · 21/07/2024 00:20

Have you seen Brassic, Blondes?

Oh, great!

Brandnewskytohangyourstarsupon · 21/07/2024 10:57

Well I properly belly laughed at a few bits.

But I love DD after watching who do you think you are.. I was crying laughing at the ruff comment in that.
Watching him with Robbie Williams doing Park life was bloody brilliant too.

I absolutely loved the first few seasons of Brassic so huge fan of Tommo in that so I was very much looking forward to this.

I can’t get excited about “critiquing “ it, it’s funny, daft and a dead dead easy watch. That’s it for me after a chaotic week.

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/07/2024 20:11

I will give this another go

E3 tonight

Anyone still watching this at TV pace?

Blondeshavemorefun · 08/08/2024 14:14

Sorry I gave up

OP posts:
Tagyoureit · 08/08/2024 15:06

I watched it all, can't say I'm over enthralled with it.

Danny Dyer just seems to be overly Danny Dyer in it, the carpet shop assistant is annoying, as are the other staff there.

Storyline is too silly to be believable but it's just not funny.

Not sure I'll bother with season 2.

Blondeshavemorefun · 17/07/2025 19:40

Tho I did rewatch and it was quite funny

anyway s2 is starting next Thur sky max /shoe case at 9pm

incase anyone enjoyed s1

s2 is about hunting down their dad

Just found this and i love it! ryan sampson is brilliant (although i struggle to move on from him being the kid in After Your Gone) and i think danny dyer is just a joy to watch.
loved him in rivals and as previous posters have said his comments about getting a ruff in who do you think you are was just sharp wit.
although it took me nearly all of series one to work out who DD was reminding me of then it clicked it was King Gary.

@Blondeshavemorefun
i love brassic but also had to make sense of him being Tommo as well!
i did look it up and he was playing that kid when he was about 22 so i do feel a bit better now haha!
