dunno if anyone else saw this was quite funny...
ITV2 10.30 a comedy based around a radio station and a couple of DJ's......has cameo's from bands/singers ect..... Justin Hawkins and Marianne Faithfull popped up in the first episode....
worth checking out.....

Hmmmmm I wondered about this..
isnt it just a straight "idea lift" from the film FM? (A classic IMHO)
LOL

Well it didn't grab me I'm afraid as I thought it was SO unrealistic. I lasted about 20 mins before I turned it off.
Albeit mildly funny in places... it was too made up for TV.
Shame really as it had been hyped up so much by ITV to the media (we must have had 20 press releases in the last month) but I would imagine most people in radio are pissing themselves laughing...and not at the (funny) script.
Even ARfm couldn't run that badly.

Just watched this and I thought it was utter shite. I was looking forward to it as I think Chris O'Dowd is absolutely brilliant in The IT Crowd, but I just sat there stoney faced I swear like a trooper but even *I* thought there was too much unnecessary use of the f word! I may watch the next one to see if it improves (and really to see if my faith in Chris O'Dowd is justified) but if it's up to the standard of the first one, I won't be bothering again

I thought it was ok....... its not in the same league as The IT crowd which is comedic genius....

Agreed Woody - I can watch IT Crowd over and over again and still be really laughing Then again, that may not appeal to everyone ;D FM has potential.......... I shall reserve judgement til I've seen another one Not really filled with confidence tho TBH ;D

aye , the IT crowd has great repeat watching appeal , i really like the one where Jen has a Dinner party and reluctantly invites Roy , Moss & Richmond round to make up the numbers......hilarious! yeah it may not be to everyone's taste but it cracks me up....
I can't see FM dramatically improving , i think its set its stall out in what the humour is gonna be like....think it may play on the cameo's to keep up interest....
