The Security Men

This looks promising. Good writers and Good Cast. Anyone know when it is due to be filmed or broadcast? :$

Ah...No! Just a one-off this looks really good , great cast and good writers. Should be good I cannot wait to watch it!

It looks about appealing as leprosy!
Surely its level of comedy is telling by the inclusion of Bobby Ball in the main cast - this sort of mundane crap belongs back in the '80s with the rest of his career?

Bobby Ball in the cast is just about the only attractive thing about this show.

And Brendan O Carroll and Paddy McGuiness!

Also looking forward to this :)

This has been knocking around for a good couple of years, when was it filmed?

Patrick is a bona fide negative.

Only recently, I believe. It was originally in development as a sitcom, I think. Certainly a series. That it's now down to just an hour, including adverts... well, we'll wait and see.

Eh? Patrick was great in Max And Paddy and Brendan O'Caroll is great too , nice to see him not dressed up as Mrs Brown for a change.

Why?

Why? Everything about him, perhaps?

Oh, errr, ok :D

A bit of digging around and I found this article;

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a313253/caroline-aherne-develops-itv-comedy.html

Article was published in April 2011 and states a pilot has already been filmed and a four-part series planned to air in 2012.

Something must be up with it...

Ball has form. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxkW2lwFohc

Something I remarked on at the time: https://www.comedy.co.uk/news/story/00000507/caroline_aherne_new_itv1_series/
