I've never really been a massive fan of Peter Kay so I was quite surprised by how much I actually enjoyed this show. Each episode provided enough laughs to keep me coming back for more.
I liked the whole concept of the show, 95% of the time is just John & Kayleigh in the car together (occasionally some other characters join them) going to and from work. This comedy is unique in that way because we learn a lot about the characters just from their conversations, we don't actually see anything about their personal lives. If we did I suspect it may have been a bit generic.
Peter Kay and Sian Foulkes had a great on screen chemistry and I liked how their friendship developed by simply sharing a car and getting to know each other as we the viewer also got to know them. Sian Foulkes stole the show for me with great comedic timing, she is just a very quirky character.
The jokes were very funny and each episode had it's main subplot to follow which kept it fresh. The jokes never seemed repetitive. My favourite episodes were when Kayleigh and John were discussing dogging & also when they give a lift to a colleague (Reece Shearsmith). Also when Peter Kay had a laughing fit it made me have one too.
Some parts that I didn't think worked so well was there seemed to be too much singing and also the daydreaming stuff was a bit tedious after a few episodes.
Overall it was a comedy that I enjoyed and I hope to see it renewed for more episodes. I hope the two of them can carry on car sharing but I have a feeling that if there is another series then Peter Kay may have a new car sharing partner. A nice lite comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously.
8/10.
