Coming Of Age - Pilot & Series 1 Page 11

A horrible horrible mess of a show.

Did Diana princess of Wales die on the cross for nothing?

I think that this week's episode was more or less the pilot. I do seem to recall all the green stuff. Either way, some rather good gags, and generally on the same standard as last week. I chuckled along a bit, and it kept my attention. Enjoyable.

Aaron, at times you just seem to have the absolute worst taste in the world; and whats more, I think you know and are quite proud of the fact!!

I find small, crude little things like that highly amusing.

Let's hope that Mrs Stott doesn't share my sense of humour.

What's my Mum got to do with it? Boom . . . . tish.

My Mums not even called Mrs Stott, so it doesn't even work.

Again, it was alright. Not fantastic, but not awful.

Unfortunately, I can see this getting repeat after repeat after repeat on BBC3 rather than something a lot more deserving...

Surely this show is some sort of terrorist attack?

It has caused so much pain and anger.

Best just to stop watching it.
Otherwise you're giving them viewing figures.
And that woud mean a second series. GASP!!!!! :(

I have seen the one episode and am still in counselling because of it.

I know that as a rule "Yoof" TV is meant to be rubbish but this breaks new ground in crapness.

Viewing figure wise, it's probably already done enough to get a second series. :(

I'm not sure why, but I am watching this crap and I'm not loathing it in the same way I loathe most BBC3 sitcoms. I think I even laughed once. I dunno, I seem to have a bit of a weakness for juvenile jokes about willys and wanking. Wave

I actually really liked this week's episode. I think it was the sadistic streak which I found most endearing.

The only scenes that made me laugh were the ones with the Scottish geography teacher... oh and the receding hair line joke...
What do you call a line of rabbits going backwards? A receding hair line... Genius, don't you think?

I didn't spot that one. Very good.

Actually, I have to give kudos for this week's guest non-rude line:

'First rule of geography -- expect the unexpected!'

Better storyline too, with the 'partner swap' giving a more traditional set-up.
