Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps

This is one of those like it or hate it programs I think, and I'd say I like it. I don't love it, but at the same time, I'll gladly put this on and have a giggle. Two Pints Of Lager & A Packet Of Crisps is a British sitcom from the BBC which was first aired back in 2001. It's not exactly a 'proud to be British' film, well, perhaps it is for some, but it's quite stereotypical and easy to relate to for most. The program is based in Runcorn, Cheshire, and focuses on the lives of 5 20-30yr olds. These key characters are: Will Mellow - Gaz Wilkinson Sheridan Smith - Janet Natalie Casey - Donna Wilkinson Kathryn Drysdale - ...  Read the complete review

Whatever happened to this show? It used to be comedy genius in my opinion and was always a watch before sleep. I agree it was never laugh out loud funny but Johney and Gaz played the perfect slob like and sex obsessed males. Whereas Janet, Louise and Donna played their characters well. Yes, the characters and script was poor, but it definately had plenty of humour. Nowadays the programme lakcs any kind of humour, it is all childish comedy with no real story line. The Live show and audience decisions are all publicity stunts to try and get people to watch it. Well done Ralf Little for getting out of this train wreck before it came to the worst. This programme has ...  Read the complete review
