How the hell did I miss this!!
Excellent series
sharesame here, big fan of Matt Berry since mighty boosh and IT Crowd and i never heard of this til last week, killed the entire series in one day, hope this lasts a while.
shareLive in the U.S. only found out about it 2 weeks ago because I was was wondering what Jon Hamm's been up to since Mad Men ended. Damn am I glad I found this show.
Just finished the full series, I must say I found season 1 the strongest, though I think 3 was pretty good too.
The bowling scene is one of the funniest things I've seen in years (Toast's elongated fall down the stair is an honorable mention), and I find the "Sat-Nav, sounds Indian" line hilarious every time I think of it.
The shows strength is also in very subtle things that are easy to miss, i.e. Toast's pronunciations or minor word plays... in the flashback to Toast's ex-wife running him over in the Purchase's albino brother episode, he says something like :"IF you want to get into the house you're going to have to go through your lawyers" - that is hilariously clever, albeit I don't know what that type of humor is called.
Some things that did not work for me - I think the Clem Fandango bits got progressively worse, songs tended to be less engaging, never understood what was up with his one-handed brother, missed that "Ray" song appearing, felt there was TOO much Ray after a while, boozer roommate was a waste, Jane did some random weird stuff too many times without it being funny (i.e. Acid trip, CIA paranoia). I also appreciated Toast's love woes and felt there is a lot more that could be done there. Hamm on Toast episode was great, btw.

I tried to watch it. Couldn't get past five minutes. Absolutely terrible.
