I don't understand it - what's with all the positive comments? Is this a joke?

Harry and Cosh is absolutely horrendous. The writing is beyond awful. The direction takes amateurism to a whole new level. When I saw this 'sitcom' I genuinely, genuinely thought that it had been written by a barely-literate 14-year-old boy, as part of some sort of 'youth writing initiative' commissioned by Channel 5. To find out that Daniel Peacock is some washed-up actor in his late forties is just incredible. How was this rubbish ever made?

I realise the programme is meant to appeal to zitty hormonal adolescents but the writer obviously assumes that all teenagers are completely thick, and will forgive any ropey old dialogue as long as there's a snogging scene somewhere in the episode.

And what's with the disgusting editing? I've never seen so many dodgy chops and cuts per scene as in this programme. I can only assume the editor doesn't want to linger on the 'actors' too long, for fear of the viewer realising just how abysmal they are.

Harry and Cosh is, without a shadow of a doubt, the WORST piece of television ever created, and believe me I've watched some dross.

Daniel Peacock will no-doubt go down in history as some sort of Ed Wood for the millennium. Channel 5 should hang their heads in shame.
