Good Points
The odd funny phoenixesque moment.
Bad Points
Peter Kay said that acting is all about confidence, well what the hell has happened to Paddy's confidence.
Some of the jokes are border line racist.
Some of the jokes are masogonistic.
Its cliche ridden, the last episode? it ain't porridge
General Comments
What a bitter dissapointment 'Max & Paddy's Road to Nowhere' is. Is this some sort of subliminal gay fantasy voyage that Peter Kay had tucked away in the darker recesses of his mind. It seems only the slightest provocation is needed for Paddy to get his kit off. We then get five minutes of Max giving him strange furtive glances and lavacious praise about his sexual prowess with the ladies. The soap joke in the prison shower? c'mon thats so old Frank Carson wouldn't touch it. It tends to suggest to me that Kay was only one of many people who made Phoenix nights the show it was.
