    Not bad at all ...

    I rented this and season 1 just because it had a lot of actors I like in it, I thought it was worth a try and I was not disappointed.

    Dennis Waterman, best known for playing Terry in Minder, is in a role much different to what he usually plays. This time he plays a ordinary bloke that has built up a good business that has earned him loads of money, but he still can't forget his roots.

    Also in this comedy, Joan Sims plays the brilliantly scripted role of Mrs.Wembley, the cook who likes to have 'Just the one' drink every now and again.

    But the true star of the show has to be Sam Kelly who plays the chauffeur and general dogsbody, his comedy acting talent is excellent and it truly shows in this comedy series.

    It's a comedy series that not many people remember, but its definitely worth a watch

    Car For Hire

    From the creator of 'Brush Strokes' comes 'On The Up' starring Dennis Waterman as a self made millionaire and owner of a car hire company, great laughs to be had, a joy to watch.
