Poor. The scruffy kid who pretended to be able to play saxaphone looks like Justin Hawkins. Who's been living in a skip for 7 months.
I sniggered a little when he fell through the door holding the camera phone, and at the idea of Jamie Oliver being beaten up by fat kids. Nothing else.
Nothing likeable about any of the characters,
perhaps a bit of sympathy going for Neil Fitzmaurice's by the end. Quite honestly, they could all die tomorrow and I wouldn't feel a thing.
And then there's the casting. What the hell were they thinking? Most of the cast, particularly Justin Hawkins, look no more than about 17 years old, and yet the writing of the characters, and their jobs, suggest that they would be mid-20s at very least.
Shocking.
In comparison, more Placebo, please!
(It is good to see a new writer at least getting a chance though, and nice to see a dedication - if not perhaps misguided - towards sitcoms again.)
