Product description

Product Description

At 17 Gaynor Jacks ran off to find her place in the big wide world, but now she’s come back to her home town – at 29 – with her tail between her legs and not even a starter home to show for herself. She must crawl back into the life she left behind, suffering the gleeful sympathy of her friends and ill judged parental intrusions, all played out in front of old flames and adversaries she thought she’d never see again… Starring Emma Fryer (PhoneShop/Ideal)

Household name in 10 years time?

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I bought this purely on the strength of it starring Emma Fryer. Her performances in the C4 comedy Phoneshop stand out by a country mile and I was interested to see how she fared in other programmes.

This is a poignant (if of a certain 25-35 age) yet amusing drama/comedy and I am surprised that I hadn't heard of it previously. If you remember the 90s with rose-tinted spectacles then this is for you. If you appreciate good acting then this is for you. If you enjoy comedy then this is for you. In short, buy it and enjoy it.

I really enjoyed this show although I am sure I'm not the target audience. Very funny and well acted. It is also very pleasant, just for once, to hear a Coventry accent (most were pretty good) or indeed any Midlands accent and it not be sent up.

Fantastic series.

13 January 2013

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I'm not sure how somebody as successful and beautiful as Emma Fryer could have hit the nail so squarely on the head when it comes to writing about failed lives and unfulfilled dreams, it can't be from personal experience, but I really feel she has. As someone who's around the same age as the characters in the programme I can see so many parallels with my own life and that of my friends,things like moving back in with parents or how everybody just slips back in to their role in the old group of friends no matter how long they have been away. I watched all 6 episodes in one hit and found the whole thing very funny and poignant. How this show was never given a second series is crazy and is up there with cancelling 'Firefly' as worst T.V. mistakes of all time . I can only assume the person who had to make the decision was the same person who gave 'Two Pints Of Lager' 9 series, a complete idiot.

Understated, underrated little gem

31 August 2011

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I was delighted to see that Home Time got a DVD release, since it went somewhat off the radar after broadcast. Rarely for a TV show - it's not available to download or stream anywhere. I would have been very disappointed to never be able to see it again.

It's full of subtle humour and 90s nostalgia, plus the interactions between the four characters, each with their own ego and delusions doing battle, are very well observed. It reflects a lot upon the social interaction between people who never fulfilled their potential, but make do with belittling each other instead.

I like comedies along the lines of Pulling, Nighty Night, and this fits the bill with a slightly melancholic dark humour - though it does have its Miranda / Gavin and Stacey moments too.

How did I miss this on TV?

5 January 2012

Format: DVD

I was renting the superb PhoneShop (Series 1) when a little box popped up with the usual 'If You Liked This...' blurb. As soon as I saw that this was written by and starring Emma Fryer (with Neil Edmond) I thought it was worth a closer look.

Featuring a mostly unknown or low key cast, this is a subtle comedy in the vein of Rob Brydon's Marion & Geoff both in style and the reference to loss and the passage of time. Its also very funny and laugh out loud in places, soundtracked with 'all your favourite 90's anthems' cut /just/ short enough to escape massive royalty payments! Essentially, after 12 years in London, without a single word between her family or freinds, Gaynor Jacks returns home to Coventry, to find that although she doesn't recognise the place, not much else has changed.

I can imagine that many people might be put of by the fact that, like Marion and Geoff episodes are more day-to-day than event-to-event, there are few differing themes and we never see the other, adandoned, side of Gaynors (Emma Fryer's character) life, just the transitory time she spends in her time-warp bedroom at her parents house, and with her freinds in various external locations. However, this does help build the tension behind the story, and we do get a tiny glimpse of the past, right at the very end. If you are looking for a sitcom where Big Things Happen in every episode, this is probably not for you. This is 3 hours of "The One In Which A Depressed Gaynor Tries To Sort Her Life Out and Reconcile Her 12 Year Absence", and is all the better for it. If that sounds depressing in itself, just trust me, it's worth a watch.

Weak

9 November 2014

Format: DVD

Disappointing considering how funny Emma Fryer was in Phoneshop. Her character, Gaynor, who one assumes is the lead, here is uninterestering and irritating. All the supporting cast seem more well rounded, funnier and have better lines, especially Gaynor's mother. It was slow moving too and although an interesting concept, 30 year old single adult women not being able to let go of their past as 16 year old school girls, it is a failure.

Gave up after two episodes

30 year old people acting like 15 year olds (or less). Pathetic and irritating. Apparently, 90 percent of the people she meets went to the same school at the same time.
