Well there you go! If you goys wanna review this episode/discuss it/ ask questions etc...feel free this is what this new section is all about!!!!!

Top notch review!

I laughed when I first heard what pearl's surname was! Pearl Harbour! :lol: It's the little things like that which I love. I love Matthew as a character I think he's fantastic, and Alan having the nerve to moan about his wife for leaving him, when in fact it was all because he had an affair with a young girl and a barmaid called Tina! :lol:

LOVE this episode... I think it was a great way for Peter to show off how many different characters he could portray !

:lol: i neve noticed this, i think the services is possibly the best epiosde out of that peter kay thing.

I only noticed it myself when I was screen capping it at the weekend! :D

Oh and I love how rubbish Paul LeRoy is at putting new songs on, he always takes a while to get it sorted.

I didn't know what year this was actually screened! How terrible am I!

Any clues guys?

I love the services Pearl is great especially when she find something in the toilet :lol: its great as it has so many Peter characters in its definately one of the best for me, Not so sure on Paddys hair in this though (lmaorolls)

great at the end when the car insurance guy walks down the highway

Yer! According to the man himself they had lots of people ringing the police saying there was some nutter walking along the motorway!

The things that man has to do for comedy!

Any bits any one didn't like?

There are some alan bits i can't watch, because he just goes on with himself a bit lol and it gets annoying after a while!

But one of the best things he says 'I gave her a crack with that' :lol: :lol:

I think the best character is pearl! I wish he wouls revisit that character in the fututre because i think the played her really well!

My Ben said he thinks Peter looks just a bit too comfortable in a dress with make up on..lol

Isn't Paddy cute in it though? and what a mop of hair..

Love
Marlene

Whats everyones fav quotes, mines "why can't they flush" :lol:

Mines paddys line

Who's that dick? :lol: :lol:

Yer your right marlene, paddys hair is a bit out of control isn't it! :lol:

she looks a bit like marjorie dawes from little britain, is it just me or does anyone else think that?

Your right darkside! There are simarlarities!

The blazers
The flowery tops underneath
The name badges
The bitchyness!

And of course there both played by blokes! :lol:

Has anybody ever visited the actual services where this is filmed???

heehee yeah they do look alot like eachother dont they :lol:

i have drove past it before.

Me too that always make me laugh :lol: is the place they filmed the services still closed? where abouts is it??

my dad told me that its still there he never mentioned it being closed i just know that i have been near it i have never stopped at it.

Its weird because peter said the services was always empty and it didn't bring many people in, so i'm suprised its still there!

Me too perhaps people visit because of the services being filmed there :)

Hi all

yes it's still there -

Just thinking, Peter is really clever with his names and I don't always get it until later.

Did you notice that Pearl's surname is Harbour?

Love
Marlene

hehehe yeah marlene I mentioned that earlier, but I only noticed it recently! Just goes to show that you have to keep watching his programmes to notice more and more! (thumbs up)

Phoenix Nights is excellant for watching it abck and notcing more jokes

I didn't know that about pearls real name!!!

I want to find the theme music to this episode because i think its groovy!

I like the music Paul le Roy plays mainly 'favourite waste of time', such an 80's song. :D

LOL paul leroy!

I love it when they he played anekas japanese boy! Why does he talk with a lisp? Is he impersanating a famous radio dj or something?

oooh and Pearl saying 'Right, lets go do it to them before they do it to us', and Matthew asks 'Do what to who?'. Hehehehehe I dont know why I find it funny, I just do! :lol:

i find that funny aswell think its just his voice :lol:

Alison go easy on them chocolate spirinkles will you there not cheap!

Pearl is the best character by far!

Go on peter, bring back pearl!!!

:lol: I love that bit, I think Paul leroy is a great dj he plays some great 80's tunes I would definately listen to his show :lol:

Lisa are you mad!

He plays some quality songs but he's a rubbish dj! :lol: :lol:

I agree with kay1, sorry Lisa!! He cant mix between songs bless him, he's rubbish! :lol:

I do like his music choice when he can get it working though!

Just a quick question guys, are those peters nephews dancing to the music with the balloons?
