Chris O'Dowd, Kevin Bishop and Nina Sosanya star in what's touted as a cross between The Office and Peep Show. Set in indie station Skin FM, it's painfully funny - but not necessarily in a good way. O'Dowd's horribly tight skinny jeans made me laugh though.
Jane Rackham, Radio Times, 25th February 2009Any new sitcom pairing C4 wonderkid Kevin Bishop and Chris O'Dowd from The IT Crowd has got to be worth checking out. It's set in a small radio station where the pair host an indie show (produced by Nina Sosanya from Teachers).
And what rock 'n' roll credentials this has got! It was co-written by Ian Curtis! Although obviously, and very disappointingly, not the late Joy Division singer - who wasn't exactly known for his screwball humour while he was alive.
Each week FM will feature real bands and tonight's talking guest is The Darkness's Justin Hawkins with a live performance from The Guillemots and a cameo from Marianne Faithfull.
But it'll need to crank up the gag volume in coming weeks if it's going to be a hit.
