| Synopsis: |
"Two Pints" follows the lives and loves of five
friends. Donna and Gaz are just starting off their relationship
while Janet and Jonny seem to have a solid romance and Louise
is somewhat unlucky in love. The friends usually meet at one
of the two local pubs and just chat about sex and life. Donna
always gets her advice from her sex mad mum! At the end of each
series viewers are presented with a cliff-hanger which leaves
it in the air as to whether the couples will stay together.
In series three Gaz's half brother, Munch, was introduced and
Louise finally finds a bloke, Australian David.

| BSG Review: |
This BBC3 sitcom is aimed directly at teenagers and young
adults - as a result much of the humour is broad, crude and sex related.
Be warned, if you're not in the target audience you may find
this show vulgar and anything but funny. However, if this is aimed at you, then
you're no doubt one of the millions of young people who count Two Pints as one of the very best comedies on TV.
For such a mainstream sitcom, Two Pints has taken the sitcom genre to some surprisingly interesting places - most notably by broadcasting a musical episode 2003 and starting off the new 2008 series with an episode broadcast live from TV Centre.
This comedy will be back for an 8th series in 2009 - with potential plot lines running out, and Ralf Little (who plays Jonny) definitely now gone it remains to be seen how much longer this comedy will last though. |
