Trivia:

Peter Kay changed the voice of his Character Max for this show. In "Phoenix Nights" (2001) the character spoke with a much deeper voice. Kay found trying to do this voice for an increased length of time required due to the greater amount of dialogue as the shows star put tremendous strain on his voice, which he then kept losing. He decided to make Max's voice higher than that in Phoenix Nights and decided not to alter his own Bolton accent to protect his voice. At times Max speaks in almost the exact tone of Peter Kay's normal voice, due to how close it now is to his natural voice. more

Quotes:

Max: [after being arrested for hijacking a school bus] This is clearly a case of mistaken identity.
Paddy: You what? Forty kids on a coach, what did we think it were, a stag party?

Author: rob_sharp1 from Clitheroe

Peter Kay returns with the funny Patrick McGuinness taking a prominent role in this side splitting comedy - he has come a long way from his bit part as a curly haired muppet in Kay's The Services.

I was laughing from start to finish - with the spoof of Dirty Dancing just incredible. Surely a scene that will be discussed and mimicked for years to come.

Anyone who enjoys Kay's previous shows and those who enjoy light-hearted humour will love this series.

A must!

Long Live Paddy and Max.
