Binged watched the lot of these today. Fucking hilarious. Deserves to be massive.

Just finished season 2. The delivery of 'youuu wont have an arse left!' has done me in. Fantastic last episode in a strong second series. Cant wait to get into series 3.

Most recent episode is a doozy. The van journey was bloody gross, great stuff.

Just started watching these having ignored it for ages. Really enjoying it. Up to S2 and it's getting better with each ep. Very well observed and it doesn't punch down, you can tell it's made with love. Only character I'm not massively in love with is the boss but I've every confidence I'll change my mind there. Got total faith in the writer (s). Thanks for the rec.

Continue to love this, and it seems like the creators may finally be getting a bit more recognition. Nice guest star in the latest episode, and have also just spotted this BBC Wales iPlayer special from the same team:

Flipped out when I saw it on the telly for a millisecond. Great stuff! Bravo to the creator.

I'm rarely signed in to Youtube so had missed the latest episode, released 2 months ago. Just got round to watching it, and these guys really are going from strength to strength. The Owain Glyndwr film and beer commercial were particular highlights. So much work and background gags have gone into these, e.g. the newspaper headlines and the incorrect reversal of 'Pornhub' on Brainy's hat in the mirror. I really hope there are more projects in the pipeline after that BBC Wales pilot.

Posting this here to get the word out further (youtube isn't friendly if you don't post videos too often) but I've been animating the remainder of the third series since April last year, I made a trailer the other day and will be getting them released soon!

If any of you guys reading this are based in South Wales, we'll be doing some screenings for them like we did for Series 2 before lockdown!

Looking forward to seeing them!

Weren't the last screenings in Cardiff? Missed them sadly. Where are you planning the next ones?

BritishHobo

Hope it is Cardiff screenings as I also missed them last time on account of not living in Cardiff when they happened.

Very excited for this though. I'm not certain I finished the last run of episodes, so I may have to do a full rewatch.

BritishHobo

Shit, looking back at my YouTube history I haven't watched the series 2 finale or any of series 3. Definitely got catching up to do.

We are planning to do one screening in Ebbw and then one in Cardiff, we are HOPING to get Cineworld (not joking, you can actually book the smaller screen upstairs for a modest price) but if it's all booked up we will look at somewhere like Porters, Tramshed, place that has a screen... It will be happening though, just waiting until I get the first cut of the final episode put together so I have a clear idea when they'll be done. Hope to see you there, but if you can't we'll be uploading them to Youtube very shortly after either way.

BritishHobo

Aw, nice! Can't wait.

This was actually not the case - just caught up and realised I'd seen most of what's available of series 3 (except the last two). Had thought the Horizons stuff was in series 2 for some reason. Very excited for the remaining episodes now.

Just went to see the final episodes in Brynmawr at the Market Hall Cinema. I got a ticket a few weeks back, I wasn't really sure what kind of turnout to expect but when I got there it was a big crowd and apparently the screening sold out at a 200 seat cinema. Pretty impressive! The final two episodes come out soon on YouTube I believe.

Jittlebags

It's great stuff. Suprising amount of character in the protagonists.

BritishHobo

Second-last episode is up on YouTube now:

Fucking great stuff, can't wait to see how it ends. Tim was the highlight for me in this one. Skin-crawling.

The penultimate and finale was released 13 days ago and somehow I missed it! Made up for it tonight. It's fighting with King of the Hill for best last sitcom episode ever for me. Absolutely perfect. Full of heart.

Watched all of these over the last week or so and absolutely adored it.  Thanks to everyone in the thread, as I wouldn't have heard of it otherwise.
