Just a heads up of new football comedy The Rovers, starting tonight starring Craig Cash plus sue Johnstone both of sit com The Royal Family
It follows the fortunes of a struggling non league football club, the research for the comedy was mainly collected from spending a lot of time at Burgess Hill football club
Expect the humour to be in the same vein as The Royal Family, tv is crying out for a new decent comedy
Best ones of late IMO have both stared Peter Kay in Car Share & Cradle to the Grave

It's already available on demand. Not bad but not as funny as I'd have hoped.

Though I was thinking about Adrian Mole at the weekend and chuckling to myself, so any mention of Sue Townsend is fine by me.

I love this sort of comedy. If you have not seen The Cafe or Early doors then get on it, both superb.

I've not seen it yet but have assumed, if it goes well, that it'll be a regular series for whenever Stella is off the air.

Just from the advert it looks fairly similar.

The Cafe was watchable....no that's a bit harsh it was an enjoyable watch. Early Doors on the other hand is in my opinion one of the finest sitcoms ever made.

To the regiment!

Agree, funny in places but no belly laughs I was hoping for
The Meat raffle made me chuckle, a plate of wafer thin ham,a lump of minced meat & sausages wrapped in cling film
Also the aspirations of one day playing in the Evo stick premier playing against the might of Nantwich town & Blyth Spartens
But on the whole a bit Meh

Thanks for the reminder, I saw the trailer for this but forgot when it was on.
Did laugh out loud at that photo.

Ill be honest, I've never found anything Craig Cash in particularly funny. And yes, that includes the Royale Family.

Mel's 21st birthday party was a superb episode.
