Absolutely brilliant. I'd forgotten how funny and "British" the humour was on the first series...
Still cracks me up.
Up there with Monty Python and Father Ted for the best comedies ever........

It's been a few years now but if you haven't seen this, or if you have seen this but don't own it, then buy it now. A great ensemble piece. Series 2 is just as good. It is much better than his later projects like Max & Paddy.
A classic.

If you're a fan of Peter Kay's/Dave Spikey's stand-up then you will undoubtedly love Phoenix Nights, a comedy about a social club in Bolton. Peter Kay plays disabled club owner Brian Potter (and bouncer Max, and more) and Dave Spikey plays club worker Jerry Sinclair in what is an extremely well written comedy that caters more for the Northern sense of humour. There are some great little cameos, such as Roy Walker, and some very funny supporting characters that get some brilliant lines like Ray Vohn. This first series isn't as funny or as polished as the second, but it's one of the best to come from Channel 4 in recent memory, right up there with Spaced. Highly recommended. 4.5/5

Phoenix has not stood the sands of time!
Peter Kay is the GREATEST British comedian of the 21st century, but this early series of his career does not translate into 2011. Read more

Phoenix nights series 1
Typical Peter Kay humour. I did find this series a little dry at times and not as funny as the usual side splitting humour. Still a giggle though.

"Send the buggers back!"
An absolute gem of a series, and one of many 'down to earth' comedies written by the likes of Peter Kay that save us from the realms of BBC Southern Humour in the evenings, such as... Read more
