The 'spin off' from The Fast Show, hehe This show is pretty cool. I like Paul, played by Rhys Thomas. He's cute Simon Day is hilarious as Geoff, Toni's 'partner' in the car selling biz. And of course Charlie Higson is fantastic as Swiss "Watching this show is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman..." etc... LOL! Actually I don't see how watching the show could be like that at all, but meh Have to quote it somewhere www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/tv/swisstoni/

I like the fact that he owns a car dealership and yet can't drive one properly himself

Was it a good show? I sort of gave it a miss cos I was never that keen on the character of Swiss Toni, despite really liking nearly every other Fast Show character.

It was classic ;D Well I thought so, hehe! The Simon Day character, Geoff, seemed to get more of the funny lines And of course Rhys Thomas was cute The "original" characters were a bit different in this than they were in The Fast Show though. Toni was less sleazy and more clueless in a way, but he seems to love his wife... even though she finds him annoying And Paul (Rhys) is a bit dimmer and almost naive in a sense. I suppose you'd have to see it for yourself to really make your own mind up about it though...

I didn't even know there was a series 2!
I've said it before, but I'll say it again...I really need to study my tv guides a bit closer. I missed most of the second series of Happiness (I love that show) through lack of concentration.

I really liked the TV show, but the only thing that grated for me was the Simon Day character. I don't know why but he just annoys me in everything he's in!
And I always feel so sorry for Swiss. He's so clueless. He needs a cuddle. And a hairdresser! ;D

Reminds me of a quote I was going to use in my dodgy Buffy fan-fic thing, when they go car hunting and one of them makes a reference to Swiss Toni, and the Reece based character (aaw his name is Ben as well ) goes "And he has weird hair..." LOL! Ok anyway *crawls back out of own world* I liked the Simon Day character, he got all the best lines "Come on bungle!"
