Oh man, there were tears rolling down my face at that YouTube remix. Fair play when Peter Kay is good he kills.

When I realised who the blue Smurf in the second episode was...

[Vulgar Monkey]

I never did, but I know him from somewhere.....

 

Also, when series 3?????

It's Varys from Game of Thrones.

No idea how or why this passed me by the first time (think i thought it was some kind of Cordon style 'talk to people in a car' thing at the time) but caught up, rinsed the new series and that was GOOD.

 

The attention to detail was great. Just about the most British programme ever, in a good way.

[The Disco]

Fucking hell.  The monkey in episode three slayed me. 

 

And the beginning of episode 4 with 'White Lines'.

Finished up this tonight and it was really excellent all the way through. Slightly disappointed they didn't play Kayleigh by Marillion on the radio though.

 

 

Need season 3 ASAP. That was fantastic. 

[Ivanho]

Watching episode 2, the blind lesbian line was brilliant!

Good lad Peter, the right call

Peter Kay has said there will be no more episodes of TV sitcom Car Share.

Series two reaches its climax on BBC One later, but many fans have already seen the finale on BBC iPlayer and know what happens between John and Kayleigh.

But the star told BBC Radio Manchester there will be no series three and no Christmas specials.

Asked whether John would ever switch from Forever FM to Radio Manchester, Kay replied: "There's not going to be a series three so it won't ever happen."

He added: "You've got to get out while the going's good. No Christmas special, no."

[Bazjam]

I admire him for it, but I'm still gutted their won't be more.

I wasn't sure about the need for a second series, but after a shaky start it turned out well. Loved the safari park and the pissed-up lift home from the party.

I thought it was a bizarrely downbeat ending, though. It didn't seem to fit the tone of the show, in my opinion. By all means leave it up in the air, but like that?? I guess I just don't understand characters who can't accept love. Perhaps that really does happen when portly middle-managers get a chance at happiness.

To me, it totally fitted - John wanted to make the gesture (texting the song request) but Kayleigh rushed him.

We saw the fantasy of John climbing over the cars, but real life isn't like that.

 

Oh, and there's quiche in the fridge.

 

[PaB]

I would climb Mount Everest for Sian Gibson, let alone a few cars.

[Silent Runner]

There's a new episode out - an unscripted one. It doesn't follow on from the end of the last episode though which is a little annoying. Still though, new Car Share, can't complain. 

[AK Bell]

For an unscripted episode, there was an awful lot of time listening to the scripted radio show and adverts, and looking at the jokes in the scenery. 

 

Still enjoyable though. 

[Yobo Ahoy]

Yeah nothing special I thought. It just felt like a normal episode but without any story-advancing bits. Rather bland, all told.

 

But that barbers called 'Mega Cutz' where scissors had cut the 'u' so it looked like 'Mega Clitz' - that can't be real can it?

[merman]

There were some very funny moments in Unscripted.

 

Repeats of season 2 start next Monday, final episode is the next Bank Holiday Monday.

[Guest]

Balls.

Probably not but I did see one very similar in Majorca the other year, thought it was on the road into Paguera but can't find it on street view if it was. And that in itself was funnier than anything that happened in the improvised car share, didn't enjoy much as it just dragged on and on. Roll on the "proper" one. 

[martingee]

Throughout the series there were a few cutaway shots that had a small visual joke. Near the beginning of the unscripted one there was a bus with "Vengabus" as it's destination/number.

 

I can't remember any others of the top of my head but remember seeing them.

[Nick R]

"Halaldi"

[Pug]

Mega Clits.

 

Oops, already mentioned. 

[Nick R]

They recorded an audio special. It expires from iPlayer tomorrow night:

There's a joke in the radio station bit towards the end that I'm very surprised was included!

[merman]

Repeats of Car Share coming to BBC One (and all available again on iPlayer) from Friday May 15th at 9:30pm.

 

@Nick R - yeah, that surprised me too.
