Just watched all the second series on iplayer. Do you want me to tell you how it ends?

Moonbeam

isn't Kay's act a rip off of other northern  comedians and he just brought it to TV ?

I've seen the first 3 episodes and will watch number 4 this evening. Two things:-

The part of the lovely Elaine in episode 2 was played by Conleth Hill who playes Varys in Game of Thrones, and 2nd hand copies of Now 48 on Amazon have gone from 11p to more than £30 since Tuesday!

Might have.

was there a post-it note inside ?

No. Leaving aside that he is extremely successful, he has also got two quite separate  strings to his bow: stand-up (playing to massive crowds of northerners) and writer of television series: Max and Paddy, Phoenix Nights, Car Share and no doubt more that I can't be bothered to look up.

He's not to my taste but he certainly is not just a club comic who got lucky.

treetop sums it up. Kay is a refreshing change from most modern "comedians" who seem to rely on shouting, swearing and puerile lavatory humour to get their laughs. Eat your heart out Mrs Brown.

Keith Lard - health & safety legend and lover of dogs.

Fire doesn't kill, ignorance kills.

Smoke kills in seconds. Fire kills in minutes.

CHANNEL 4 has paid £10,000 compensation to a fire safety officer who said a hapless character in a comedy series was based on him.
The company agreed to pay damages to Keith Laird, who works for Bolton council, after he complained about the close resemblance he bore to the fire safety officer in Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights. In the programme, set in a fictional northern social club, comedian Peter Kay plays a number of characters, including Keith Lard, a fire safety officer with a penchant for bestiality.
As well as sharing a similar name, Mr Laird pointed out that the character had a bushy moustache much like his own, wore the same luminous yellow safety jacket and had a penchant for quoting one of Mr Laird's favourite sayings: "It's not fire that kills - it's ignorance." Mr Laird, 45, said colleagues had nicknamed him "Woof Woof", a reference to the fictional fire officer's fetish for dogs.
Kay first featured the character in That Peter Kay Thing, a series of spoof fly-on-the-wall documentaries first broadcast on Channel 4 a year ago. Mr Laird contacted Channel 4 and pointed out the similarity but said he was willing to "see the funny side". However, after reading in the television listings that the character was being revived for Kay's new series, Phoenix Nights, he wrote to the channel seeking redress.
The Keith Lard character features in one episode of Phoenix Nights, which was broadcast last Sunday. In it, Lard tries to shut down the club on safety grounds, only to relent when confronted with pictures of him cavorting with dogs.
The programme was broadcast with Mr Laird's consent after Channel 4 and the producers, Ovation Entertainment and Good Night Vienna Productions, agreed to include a disclaimer stating that the likeness was entirely coincidental. It said: "Mr Laird's contribution to fire safety in Bolton is well documented and his professionalism and personal integrity are not in any doubt." Kay, who also comes from Bolton, said the similarity was "uncanny" but was adamant he had never met Mr Laird.
The 27-year-old comedian, who caused controversy two years ago when he made a joke about Jill Dando's murder while compering a party for staff at the BBC, said the name Keith Lard had been chosen for its inanimate qualities. He said: "We took the time to check that there were no Lards in the Bolton phonebook. It's a very unfortunate situation and I understand Mr Laird's concern."
Mr Laird said he was happy with the outcome. "I've never met Peter Kay, but he must have seen me somewhere because there's no doubt it's me. He's got everything down to a tee. The facial expressions were spot on."
Mr Laird is donating half his damages to charity, including the Fire Service Benevolent Fund and the Children's Fire Charity.

"Peter Kay" ...not my cup of Tea - can't stand him !

I watched them all back to back with the wife at the weekend Chaser.They went to a safari park.

That was poor, last weeks was so much better.

The last few minutes, leading up to where they nearly kissed, was very tender,and well acted.
