Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
beresfordjd Obviously this comedy series was not made for my demographic (60+ ) but I latched on to it right away. I just cannot believe how funny it can be. The characters Jerwayne and Ashley are the key to it all and are so well performed you almost believe they are really like that.Tom Bennett as the newby Christopher is perfect also as the innocent middle-class type entering into the big bad world of mobile phone sales. It is not fair to single these guys out though because all the cast perform really well and are hilarious in their own way. The language may well put some viewers off but it is a necessary part of the characters' rhythm of speech. Great writing, performing and staging make this show terrific. I just wish it was a hour (sic) long!!! A HOUR!!!
zoecole I love this show, being from Sutton myself I find it incredibly funny. Like the other 2 reviews if you're not British u will not get it. The shop is genuine and has moved from it's original site. It is fun to wander past during filming although they do get a few directions wrong.It is wet your pants laughing funny, some of it accurate, some of it not, and it is a somewhat genuine reflection of Sutton when you have to wander in a phone shop and but one of the best comedy series I have seen in a long time.Series 1 best by far but hurry up and release series 3!teddy****spin teddy****spin!
brianloughran55 As the other reviewer has mentioned it may not be for people outside of the UKs taste, well i agree. Being from Ireland i must admit if I hadnt heard about this show and was flicking through the channels i more than likely would have kept going, but I am so glad i didn't give up on it as it is one of my favourite shows right now.Each character is hilarious in their own way and each episode has a great plot where you genuinely want to know what happens, considering the show is 90% in a phone shop (obv) I was happily surprised by this.The first episode i struggled with but after that it was top notch entertainment A brilliant show and one that hopefully has a few more seasons in it!
danielspink Phoneshop is a edgy and often hilarious black comedy. It has some very strong characters and some very surreal moments full of energy and often psychotic moments. Whilst superficially it appears to pander to a young demographic though slang and sexual references, don't let this put you off as it in fact has some very well written characters. I believe any fan of Green Wing or any Chris Morris production should check this out. The episode in which new boy Christopher has to go out into the street dressed in a bear costume stands out with some hilarious slapstick and surreal comedy moments, along with another episode in which various characters end up locked up in the basement. Can understand why people may not like it and also I guess the humor is very British so may not appeal to any non UK viewers. Glad to hear a second series has been commissioned.Excellent.
