The incredible misadventures of two handymen on the road and the extraordinary people they meet along the way.

Tuesdays BBC3 10:30

This is really funny. Don't let Will Mellor put you off - it's a lot better than Two Pints. And Georgia Moffett is in it. :P

Funny you should say that! Mellor is a good actor and eminently watchable; the fact that he's in it would be the only reason I'd consider watching it.

This does look quite interesting. I missed it yesterday -- didn't even realise it was on -- but they're repeating it on Friday, so I think I'll watch it then! Oh and, btw, Will Mellor is kinda cute. :P

WAS great - a long time ago. I agree he's a good actor (he's showing that in Waterloo Road) - but many people wouldn't and Two Pints peaked a long long time ago - hardly something to use as a recommendation for a new comedy.

Diff'rent strokes, I guess.

Two Pints was unwatchable due to that awful Sheridan Smith. Eeurgghhhh.

If there are two, why isn't the show called White Van Men?

This is quite good, I like Will Mellor and loved Two Pints prior to it's last few series.

The second episode with the cult in the backroom was really weird! Definitly watchable though... 'amusing' more than any other word.

Loved the episode where Darren was trapped in the cupboard. Second series is still really watchable.

Still good - though if Georgia Moffett wasn't in it, i may well not bother.
