Car Share v Not Going Out


Mick Mac

Recommended Posts

A tired sitcom that wasn't particularly funny in the first place - perhaps that is why Tim Vine left vs some clever writing that will not allowed to bccome tired as it is ending after two short seasons. Bit of a no brainer.

OK - to clarify, and to compare like with like, I'm talking early Not Going Out, compared to early series Car Share.


NGO is tired now, I agree, but I used to find it very funny, and everything tires eventually. And as for Tim Vine.....


Car Share I just find absolutely awful. Tried again last night - I really just don't get why its "funny".



And the reason I have picked NGO as a comparable is that they are similar genre - slapstick / boy likes girl or girl likes boy / not getting together

No, but I'd say that RF was closer to CS than NGO is in terms of humour. They both have a very northern sensibility about them...

    • Yes, I think that’s exactly it. I’m sorry my post was unclear. 
    • FH is so much greener and IMO nicer than ED, sorry. Less commercialised.  The Great North Wood, Hornimans Gardens, Brenchley Gardens, One Tree Hill ) yep, some of that borders ED, so split between the two) 
    • Tesco sell pudding rice https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254877391   And as for olive oil, my preference is the Spanish 2L cans in Sainsbury, it has a real nice peppery taste, not bland like the Italian one's I've tasted, but that's personal preference I suppose. 
    • It feels like a group who don't believe that private motoring should be discouraged and have no answers to the air quality problem, whereas the original Cleanairdulwich are campaigning to reduce pollution. Sadly we live in a world where if you are rich, you will generally live in nicer houses, have nicer environments and cleaner air.  That is capitalism for you, but I doubt whether there would be greater health equality in the former Soviet Union either.  Dulwich village was once full of industrialists and the like who didn't want to live in polluted central London where most would have made their money.  I will contact Cleanairdulwich and hopefully provide a better perspective.  Whether it is one individual or a whole community I support agree with what they are doing.
