Erm, poppers are something else (not Chrtistmas crackers) in the UK (poppers are a bottle of inhaled drug sometimes used during sex play- so be careful if you ask for poppers in the UK! ) Good to see your reactions, I've not seen this series for years- Tim and Lee both wrote it so it's a vehicle for their jokes and, of course, their experience as stand up comedians means they deliver the punchlines with great timing. Another sitcom around the same time that was pretty funny was "Men Behaving Badly"- which sort of revolves around a couple of guys who have the maturity of teenagers whilst in their 30s.

And yes, as others have said, it actually gets better as the seasons progress.Also interesting is the fact that the BBC actually cancelled this after a few seasons but there was such an outcry from fans that the BBC reconsidered and it's still going strong today...and finally 'Keep your mimery at a distance!'.lmfao!..phrase of the day and I may have to borrow it :)

Series 1 wasn't the best but I liked it, probably because Kate was heavenly! But she left after Series 1. In later episodes you will meet a whole cast of crazy characters, including Tim's sister Lucy (Lee's new landlady), his girlfriend Daisy (craziest of the lot), Tim and Kate's parents and Lee's dad. By the way, this first episode is from 2007 and it's still going on, so you have a lot to catch up on!

Seen Tim live twice, was very drunk both times and never remember a single joke as I'm walking out because every line just comes flying so quickly after the last one. Also, pointless fact, the woman leading the clown class was Lee's co-host on his Radio 4 series.
