I imagine it could be the sort of thing that’s hard to objectively critique because they’re GBoLs and there’s a sort of underlying topic of health and that.
Something great about that sort of really slow-paced telly, eh.
Yeah I posted about it yesterday. It was fine but it wasn’t very funny, not very insightful, not very educational. Was just fine (and only beacuse it is nice to spend a bit of time in their company - particularly Bob).
Don’t watch much TV these days, but after Bob sounding proper proud of it on Athletico Mince and a recommendation from another mate whose opinion I rate, I gave the first episode a watch.
Found it boring, won’t be watching any more. Don’t begrudge them, and it’s nice to see they’re having a good time, but not for me.
I haven’t watched this yet but it sounds a bit like Fishing with John, in which John Lurie (who was in a few no wave bands and Jim Jarmusch films) goes fishing with Tom Waits, Jim Jarmusch, Dennis Hopper, Willem Dafoe and a few others
Just a perfectly nice bit of television. Like a Rick Stein travelogue with more jokes…or jokes…and, yes, a perfect companion for The Trip and Detectorists. If you enjoy them, you’ll enjoy this. If not, you probably won’t.
I heard him tell a story that he got into comedy completely by accident. Caught his girlfriend in bed with another bloke, took it badly as you would, left town, an old schoolfriend turned up out of the blue and dragged him to some standup against his wishes and he met Vic Reeves that night.
