Phoenix Nights 2

Lancastrian comedy genius Peter Kay returns with a second series of the irrepressible PHOENIX NIGHTS. Fans may remember the Phoenix Club's incineration at the hands of Brian Potter's (Peter Kay) arch-rival Den Perry (Ted Robbins) by means of careless disposal of a cigar butt. The second series picks up exactly where the first left off, with Potter in a panic about his club/licence/melted 'blind-boy' charity collection figurine. Having lost his licence, Brian persuades the ever-stoical Jerry St Clair (Dave Spikey) to become 'the name over the door' and a grand reopening ensues. First-class cameos (including one by Jim Bowen as Brian's bewigged mentor) and sidesplitting one-liners ensure that the chaos never lets up, and whether Max and Paddy (Kay and Patrick McGuinness) are being hired to carry out contract killings or Jerry is winding up high on ginseng, PHOENIX NIGHTS carries with it enough hilarity and panache to render it one of the most original and essential sitcoms ever made.

    Very funny!

    I missed it on TV but had heard so much about it I thought I'd rent it. The Phoenix Night Club is risen from the ashes after burning down in a mysterious fire at the end of the last series. All the characters are very wierd but by the end of the series you'll heart will be with them when Den Perry (owner of a rival club + arsonist in the first series) turns up again, but will history repeat itself?

    VERY VERY GOOD

    How Peter Kay could ever follow up the brilliantly original, laugh-a-minute first series of Phoenix Nights is a bit of a mystery; but follow it up he has, and Series 2 is as sidesplittingly funny, as close to the edge of bad taste as you can possibly get, and as compulsive as its predecessor. There's a general feeling of a slightly bigger budget, and the shaky docu-soap-style camerawork of the original has given way to a more conventional style of cinematography and storytelling; but the jokes are as razor-sharp as ever, and in this series we begin to discover the depth of character in the wonderful supporting cast as well.

    Ant and Dec get nervy over film debut

    • 17 Mar 2006

    Geordie TV duo Ant and Dec are getting a case of the jitters ahead of the release of their new film, Alien Autopsy, later this month. The cheeky chappies may have done everything from acting in an angst-soaked teenage drama (Byker Grove) to trying to keep a bunch of publicity hungry celebs sane in the jungle (I'm a Celeb) via a spot of kid rap (as PJ and Duncan), but they're still a little concerned. "We're very nervous about it, we've never had a film come out before. This is our first... Read more
