Peter Kay's Car Share contains lots of visual jokes, to add an extra layer of humour. Did you spot them all?

This Is Not A Sign (Series 1, Episode 1)

This is not a sign

It's certainly not. It just really, really looks like one.

Brazilian While You Wait (Series 1, Episode 1)

Brazillian while you wait

Everything is so convenient these days.

Mark Radcliffe on Manchester (Series 1, Episode 1)

"A city that thinks a table is for dancing on" - Mark Radcliffe

Radio presenter Mark Radcliffe has a wise quote about the northern city.

Buy One Meal... (Series 1, Episode 4)

Buy one meal for the price of two... get the second meal absolutely free

Here's hoping that their food is better than their maths skills.

Missing Husband (Series 1, Episode 4)

Missing husband... last seen entering a whore

Missing... or is he just hiding?

Shop signs (Series 1, Episode 6)

The Good Barber, Big Bobs Munch Box, B&S Carolgee's

There's plenty going on in this shot! A Godfather joke, a call back to 'Big Bob's Beans' from Max And Paddy's Road To Nowhere, and most importantly there's Carolgees! In everything Peter Kay has done, there's always been some form of reference to Bob Carolgees (and Spit the Dog). This is a very subtle one!

Phoenix Bites (Comedy Shuffle special)

Phoenix Bites

Another shop sign based reference, this time to Peter's classic sitcom Phoenix Nights. Clearly Brian Potter is still quite the entrepreneur!

Everything Must Go (Comedy Shuffle special)

Everything must go

For this poor man, pretty much everything already has gone.

Blow Job? (Comedy Shuffle special)

Blow job sign. Copyright: Goodnight Vienna Productions

Hairdryers. They're talking about hairdryers, right?

Mr Softee Top (Series 2, Episode 1)

Mr Softee Top

Remember Mr Softee Top from That Peter Kay Thing? It's nice to see that he's still out and about after all that business with Signór Whippee.

Miner Celebrities (Series 2, Episode 1)

Miner Celebrities - They've finally hit rock bottom

You may laugh, but this is exactly the sort of show that could get commissioned in 2018. Bonus points if you spotted Bob Carolgees's involvement!

Shaun Ryder Rehab Centre (Series 2, Episode 1)

Shaun Ryder Rehab Centre

Is your melon twisted? Perhaps this is the place to go.

The Dog With Two Cocks (Series 2, Episode 2)

The Dog With Two Cocks

Well, it certainly makes a change from seeing a Red Lion.

Tecco Express (Series 2, Episode 2)

Tecco Express

Next door to the Polski Pound Shop is... Tecco Express?

Hand Job sign (Series 2, Episode 2)

Hand Job sign

Spinning in the background is a sign with 'Hand' on one side, and 'Job' on the other.

Samuel L Jackson driving school (Series 2, Episode 3)

Samuel L Jackson - driving school

Even the most successful of actors have to have a backup career.

Newwoman advert (Series 2, Episode 3)

Newwoman capsules - I feel like shit

Well, you have to admire her honesty.

Wigan Pies (Series 2, Episode 3)

Pies R Us in Wigan

Not only is Wigan "the home of premiership football and pies" but there's also a 24 hour 'Pies R Us' for all your pie shaped needs!

Cash4Pies

Pies can also be exchanged for money in Wigan, it seems.

No pies are left in this vehicle overnight

But there's no pies in this van.

Pies of Wigan

This lorry is probably full of pies though.

Life of Pi - always showing

Of course the film Life Of Pi is always showing, the good people of Wigan can't get enough of it!

Pies sale now on

Just in case you hadn't worked it out yet, pies can be purchased in Wigan.

Holly Bush Lane (Series 2, Episode 3)

Holly's Bush

It seems that having a road named after you isn't always a compliment.

Lollipop Lady (Series 2, Episode 4)

Lollypop lady wearing a florescent Burqa

Now that's a pretty impressive lollipop lady.

HeBrew (Series 2, Episode 4)

HeBrew

Nothing to see here, just a Hebrew having a brew at HeBrew.

Dented car (Series 2, Episode 4)

Never lend your car to a woman... with an arrow pointing to a dent

Surely that'll buff out?

Frying Nemo (Series 2, Episode 4)

Frying Nemo

We'll never watch that Pixar film in the same way again.

Vengabus (Unscripted special)

Vengabus

The Vengabus. We've got a strong feeling that it's going to Ibiza.

Hot Dog (Unscripted special)

'50p Beef Hot Dog (* not actual size)' poster

Regardless of the size, 50p is still quite the bargain.

Car Wash sign (Unscripted special)

Car Wash - Best Hand Job In Town

That's quite a bold claim.

Pies Of Wigan (Unscripted special)

Pies of Wigan

Another successful delivery from the people of Wigan!

Halaldi (Unscripted special)

Halaldi

As supermarket puns go, this is most impressive.

Can't Grow A Mustache? (Unscripted special)

Can't grow a mustache? Please take a complimentary one

Finally, the solution we've all been searching for.

Mega Cuts (Unscripted special)

Mega Cuts shop

An unfortunate placement of the scissors in that sign perhaps.

Dog (Unscripted special)

Dog going to the loo by a postbox

We think we'll just leave this one here.

My Big Fat Undateable Bake Off (Finale)

My Big Fat Undateable Bake Off

It looks like Channel 4 are combining all their hit formats.

The Knocking Shop (Finale)

The Knocking Shop and Stop Hammertime sign

Is that a massage place? Plus, an MC Hammer reference on the Stop sign, as a bonus.

Advert on the Magic Bus (Finale)

Magic bus with Beaver Liqueur advert

Is a Magic Bus better than the Megabus? Believe it or not, Magic Bus a real bus company in Manchester, but the alcohol advert on the side of it is fake: Beaver Liquors. Oh, and in the background, there's that Miner Celebrities advert again!

Beaver Liquors

Lost Boys (Finale)

Lost Boys - Have U Seen Them Reward

Have you seen this film?

Jean-Claude Van Man (Finale)

Jean-Claude Van Man

Another Hollywood star now working in Manchester?

No Dogging Zone (Finale)

No dogging zone

There are double-yellow no parking lines, to be fair.

Buy 3 For The Price Of 3! (Finale)

Buy 3 for the price of 3!

Another great deal!

Louder Than Your Bird Last Night (Finale)

Car with Louder Than Your Bird Last Night sticker

What a big exhaust!

Manchester City (Finale)

Old Trafford with Manchester City written on it

A subtle one this... that's Old Trafford, Manchester United's ground.

Don't Drive Like A Cockerel (Finale)

Don't drive like a... picture of a cockerel

A public service announcement.

Ken Bamber's meat (Finale)

Ken Bamber - High class butcher. Give your mouth a treat, try some of Ken's meat

"Give your mouth a treat, try some of Ken's meat".

Secret Nuclear Bunker (Finale)

Secret Nuclear Bunker sign

Not so secret any more!

NOW CD (Finale)

Car crash scene - with NOW CD. Copyright: Goodnight Vienna Productions

Not so much a joke, but a lovely subtle callback. The NOW 48 music CD can be seen in the wreckage of John's door.
