Tommy Saxondale is irritating enough to despise, but endearing enough to pity and actually empathise with at times. Stave Coogan and co have managed to make a character with enough Partridge'isms to appease the die hard fans whilst adding other layers to create a whole new character. Tommy is brilliant, the secondary characters are great and the dynamics between Tommy and his partners at work and at home along with the office tease keep the laughs coming pretty constantly. I am disappointed the series didnt continue. I would highly recommend both series one and two to all Coogan fans, as if I need to. Even if your not a big fan, the comedy is priceless with some of those moments that remain with you forever. Also the kind of thing you would watch and watch again.......much like Partridge!!!Read full review
This is one of Coogan's best characters, an ex-roadie who will not admit that he has confirmed to societies rules. He is a grumpy middle aged rocker with anger issues and an American muscle car. I found myself empathising with this ageing rocker and saw a caricature of my future self. Funny from the outset, you will be compelled to order series 2 before finishing the first disc of series 1.
On the whole a series of constant chuckles, laugh out loud moments, and social comment but sadly containing a few somewhat overdone scenes of crudeness which spoil an otherwise brilliant product.
