I don't usually champion comedy from, or linked to Mr. Gervais, but here is an chortle-filled exception. Ricky edited the script (probably adding more zip to the dialogue) and cast the show well, but I think writer of Phone Shop, Phil Bowker, has got this absolutely spot on!The pilot, follows 'New Man' Christopher (Tom Bennett) who has got a trial shift at the shop. He spends the day simply getting rinsed by experienced sellers Ashley and Jerwayne. It's decent that C4 have commissioned a series! It's too true that phone salesmen are generally dogged, cocksure weirdos!?
It was on again last night, after first airing pre-Christmas, and on the second watch it is even funnier - catching the jokes missed before! The speed of the verbal attack in this sketch is hilarious, and just totally believable. I'm unsure when its out, but watch it. Laugh!
