The best I can say about Bread is that it's marginally, very marginally, not as awful as Mrs Browns Boys! |

The best I can say about Bread is that it's marginally, very marginally, not as awful as Mrs Browns Boys! Never seen the Mrs Brown thing but Bread was atrocious and spawned people using the unfunny catchphrases and expecting a laugh. I voted it the worst show on the millennium in one of those TV polls they did and think was being generous to it. I remember Jimmy Greaves reviewing the TV on a breakfast show once and calling it the best comedy on for years. That fella really did hit the sauce for a while |

Clear Blue Water between Bread and Mrs Browns Boys In fact, there's an ocean between Mrs Browns Boys and everything else including watching your own shit flush down the toilet |

One of those actors who gets wider every new thing he makes, must be all that Haribo he eats in those ads. I remember him in a show I think was called 'What now?' That used to on late at night, possibly a Phil Redmond thing that was actually ok at the time . Never met anyone else who remembers it |

He was in every episode of Goodnight Sweetheart but I remember him being in the Sean Hughes Show |

The thing about Bread was that, apart from being appallingly unfunny, every character in it was fucking irritating too!

There was a guy from Congleton in it...I wanna be a poet was his hilarious punchline ...I wanna be a model another one ....oh Sod off it wasn't remotely funny first time around I used to have to wait for it to finish before my Mum would give me a lift to Ritzys ... |

Brush Strokes was ok - in that crossover btwn 70s and 80s ‘comedy’ at around the same time as Ben Elton et al do it dated very quickly. First series ok and downhill from there. Karl Howman. |

I didn't hate Brush Strokes', was far worse but wouldn't rush home to watch it. I liked the dad in it, think he was called Lionel. Was no Never The Twain as lacked the presence of Smallbridge but a harmless show. |

Attachment DeletedI thought I'd imagine the show What Now? But just found this pic of Victor Maguire from it . He looks like someone who was sacked from Ultravox for eating all the pre gig snacks She was in Boon, his girlfriend in it. Another of those Bread characters was also in it.
