Doesn't mean that those in London are any worse!

I thought angelos was quite good. Im looking forward to tonight's episode to see weather they manage to build the characters up

true but i can see the walker gallery in liverpool for about £3.50(train fare) or spend £80 going to london.

Like i said I will go when there are enough motivating factors.

Angelo's: Kept flicking between this and Ross, again it just wasn't funny for me.

Saw it again last night and it is just the same poor standard. I don't mean to have a go at Miranda Hart but she plays the same character in everything she does and it just isn't funny. But none of it is. And what's this fascination with having a go at C-list celebs? It was funny the time people did it but do we have to have it over and over again?

The worst thing is on Sharon Horgan's CV it's going to say

Writer:

Angelo's.

And not

Writer:

Angelo's (Dismal. Is this the sort of standard you want?)

I think it isn't that bad. Not everything can be outstanding. I think its watchable enough. Paul Kaye was fantastic in this one. My main gripe is that you can't really warm to anyone in it.

I just watched the first one of these and thought it was fairly good. Nice pace and some very amusing characters.

Well its finished now, with a drama-focused last episode. Again, I found it watchable and amusing in parts. It wasn't a stand-out sitcom although Paul Kaye stole the show when he appeared in it. You felt some characters where surplus to requirements in it.

My wife watched this series in Dubai, and was trying to find the DVD.
She rang the production company but I don't think it has been released.

Haha! No, it hasn't. It is 'available' though.

Tell her to check here in future. ;)

Angelo's is one of my favourite sitcoms, I've been watching a couple of episodes again... and quite surprised how many famous faces are in it.

Steve Brody
Simon Farnaby
Miranda Hart
Paul Kaye
Shelley Longworth
Sharon Horgan
Paul Garner
Alice Lowe
Javone Prince
Kim Wall
Charlie Covell

Maybe a forgotten gem?

It was good, but I'm not sure I'd go as far as a gem. Would have liked to see more, mind.

Yeah, bit of a shame it didn't get much exposure or a second series as I thought the characters were great.

Sharon Horgan is a very talented writer and performer.

Is it out on DVD? I'd very much like to give this another go. Sharon Horgan does seem to be the patron saint of shows snuffed out before their time.

I didn't watch it at the time, but I've seen a couple of episodes since, and enjoyed it.
Hope they repeat them again soon so that I can catch up on the rest of the series.
