Two Pints of larger and a packet of crisps is a BBC comedy for ages 15+ but pitches it main audience at the 16-30 bracket. Containing an assortment of various topics, the main underlying theme focuses on 5 main characters, in the town that they live. In my opinion I think that two pints is the 'Marmite' of comedies, in that true to the saying 'you either love it or hate it'. For me personally, I absolutely despise the ugly brown spread…but I do love two pints! As much as there are going to be many people who don't like Two Pints (as with all comedies, the material is of a personal taste) it has it's fans in the hordes. It is currently (as of January 2007) the longest running comedy (sit-com) show on the BBC. The show spans a full six series at present, with 54 half hour shows in it's library. The show is written by Susan Nickson, who in an early interview revealed that the show (or at least the first series) stole many ideas from her 'own' personal life as a student. Main Characters: Gaz Wilkinson (Played by Will Mellor): Gaz is a woman obsessed, pint drinking, car fixing lad who always seems to be having some sort of issue. His problems have been mixed and varied (to say the least) ranging from having erection troubles, to believing Janet's baby is his, all the way to thinking there is a ghost in the cupboard; Gaz always has something to deal with. Jonny Keogh (Played by Ralf Little): Jonny is an unemployed, pint drinking, biscuit loving lay about who generally seems to do nothing constructive, ever. He spends his days at home on the sofa watching 'day-time' television, in the pub (usually accompanied by Gaz) or doing a bit of general 'Tinkering' as he describes it. He has biscuit obsession which is clearly obvious throughout the shows. His favourite one being the Jammy Dodger or Jammy-D as he lovingly calls it. Janet Keogh (Played by Sheridan Smith): Janet is a slightly simple, alcohol obsessed, blonde nymphomaniac who loves nothing more than acting out many various (and slightly strange) sexual acts-be them with Jonny or with out! She works at a local bakers for the main, until she much later ends up working in the pub which ultimately leads up to it getting closed down! Donna Henshaw (Played by Natalie Casey): Donna is hot tempered, bucket selling, largely money orientated women , who seems to be the smartest of the pack. She can be very sarcastic and has a very short fuse, often having arguments with Gaz, Janet and mostly Louise. Louise Brooks (Played by Kathryn Drysdale): Louise is the annoying, hugely immature, self-obsessed little person, who constantly sounds as if she is on helium! Louise is the 'odd' one of the group, in that she doesn't particularly seem to like any of the others. The others also clearly have a distaste for her, with Jonny in particular regularly pointing this out. She never seems to bond with the group and it is almost as she looks down on them. Series 1 and 2 are a little slow and are most likely not the best epiesodes. However it is interesting to see, as many of the characters look so much younger! The price I was quite happy with though, as I managed to pick it up for a tenner. Overall Two pints is aimed at a specific audience, if you don't fall within the bracket then sadly it is unlikely this will be your sort of humour. It is often below the belt, so to speak, and is admittedly quite childish. But give it a try and see if you Love it or Hate it! Thanks for Reading!Read full review
