Tanya Franks

It's a strange little comedy this, a mockumentary about an under-11 football squad and their squabbling, competitive parents.

A host of familiar faces, such as Steve Edge from Phoenix Nights and Tanya Franks from EastEnders and Pulling, are amusing in parts but this is probably best st enjoyed by football-mad parents themselves.

Taking the mockumentary format into the world of under-11s football, this new sitcom shows signs of promise. Steve Edge starts as Terry, a pushy dad whose belief in his son's on-the-pitch prowess has tipped over into an unhealthy obsession.

Faced with a bad-tempered coach, his wife's indifference and a child more interested in cookery that Cristiano Ronaldo, Terry's thwarted ambitions are neatly played out and he enjoys strong support from a cast including Tanya Franks (Karen from Pulling) as the team's ballsy manager and Dominic Coleman as her browbeaten husband.

It's frantic, flippant and astoundingly filthy, with Tanya Franks as drunk Karen the cherry on the pina colada. Not since Patsy in Ab Fab has binge drinking been this funny.
