    Best since the rising of the Phoenix

    The best comedy on British TV for years. Peter Kay at his best - likable, subtle and very, very funny. You need to watch the episodes a few times to catch all the background humour from the radio station and off shot signs etc "Husband Missing. Last seen entering....." "Brillington College ......"

    A comedy that slowly turned into a love story that will surely be recommissioned sooner rather than later.

    Mr Kay was predictably good and Sian Gibson was more than a match.

    For a change the Beeb didn't let a new comedy stew for a series or two on BBC 3 or 4.

    Superb. Can't wait for more.

    Car Share....classic Peter Kay

    Peter Kay's done it again with his latest series Car Share. Subtle, touching and in places, laugh out loud brilliance coupled with a simple concept, this is a masterclass of how to make a sitcom that's actually funny. On paper the idea of a comedy with basically just two characters in a car, talking, sounds rubbish but when it's got Mr. Kay in it you know it's going to work. A special mention must surely go to the superb Sian Gibson. What a hidden gem she is and perfect as the likable Kayleigh. Her comedic timing and delivery are an ideal match for Kay's character, John. Quite where she has been hiding and why we've never seen her in any other comedy is beyond me. I'm just hoping there will be a second and indeed third series and why not when you consider the amount of dross that's around pretending to be funny.

    Kay you've nailed it!!

    Car Share is everything I want in a comedy, it's a show I can sit down, watch, laugh my head off, and feel good at the end of it. As someone that does love a black comedy, it's nice to have a show that is so fresh, uplifting, and truly brilliant. Peter Kay can do no wrong in my eyes, his very definite Northern humour has always struck a chord with me, and it feels like the majesty we were given in Phoenix Nights, has been found and reborn in Car Share.

    Kay and Gibson are both hugely likable people, and their enjoyment and pleasure in working together is so infectious that we as viewers get caught up in the fun and enjoyment that they are having. The music all the way through appeals to me, as being the same age as the cast I appreciate the journey. I'm so glad the second series has been the same high quality as the first.

    Expect love, tantrums, monkeys, urine in a bottle, and a hedgehog.

    Not many shows leave you wanting more, this certainly did, I'd love to see it return some day.

    Peter Kay I applaud and thank you. 10/10.

    Comedy at its best !

    I first watched on i-player and thought it was brilliant, Then watched the complete series and was so impressed . the characters work so well together and the whole scenario is so true to life. Hope this returns . The two main characters were really convincing in their portrayal of a couple of strangers brought together in a car share. I thought the episode with the fishmonger on his way to work was brilliant - just how people react in reality. I liked the way the series ended too , no happy ever after ending but just how things usually pan out and also leaves one with the thought that there may be the possibility of another series

    Lovely understated comedy

    A return to form for Peter Kay, and I was pleasantly surprised by his costar Sian Gibson who held her own.

    Car Share rates as the best new British Comedy of 2015, building into an unlikely romance - two ordinary Co-op (?) employees finding each other on the daily commute.

    Filled with subtle throw-away gags, many hidden in the scenery or soundtrack and the occasional surreal daydream the whole effect is adorable and heartwarming!

    Can't wait for the US remake with some better looking stars - Ashton Kutcher & Jennifer Anniston perhaps?

    Perhaps leave this one to the Lancastrians...
