And the less said about Paddy McGuinness and Dave Spikey the better.

I don't mind Neil Fitzmaurice though.

I agree 100% with this. Max and Paddy's road to nowhere was patchy but Phoenix Nights is gold. I'm still hoping for another series of 'Early Doors'. Such a well written microcosm of working class life.

Early Doors is marvellous

Early Doors is spectacular I agree. I really believe that, like The Royle Family, you dont need to be British to appreciate it but I have a feeling it helps. I have a feeling that you cant truly appreciate everything about it if you arent British.

I'd love another seies too but maybe too much time has passed now?
