Sophisticated Hilarious Humour
21 February 2013
This has to be one of the funniest movies I've seen in the last 10 years.

Dyers intelligent yet madcap portrayal of a cheating Cab driver is as heart wrenching in it sincerity and emotional depth as it is side- splittingly funny in its zaniness.

It is refreshing to see the old established characters of British comedic farce like the doting wife, the perpetually hopeful mistress, the cheater reinvented and thrown hurtling back into 2013 so sharply and freshly they could be riding a thunder bolt from Zeus himself.

I doubt this movie will be tipped for Oscar greatness simply because it is too clever for the average viewer to appreciate, its more likely to be a slow burning gem in the vintage of Shawshank, where a mass audience slowly grows through word of mouth.

One of those rare gems that makes wading through most of the rubbish out there seem worth while, a must see for the whole family.

Prospects (1986)
Loved this show.
12 December 2002
This much under-rated gritty show carried on in the tradition of other greats such as Auf Weidersien Pet and followed the mis-adventures of two young likely lads Billy and Pinch on there quest for love, money and a bit of a life.

Think there were 2 series although not 100% on that, always remember the camping episode, the prison episode(they make alcohol out of potato skins and poison half the inmates) and the robbery episode where they tunnel through to what is supposed to be a flush underground storage area but all they find is butchers meat so they take that instead.

Great show would love to see it on DVD release think it was the same people as made Minder.
