Had heard the poor reviews, particularly in relation to his accent, but thought I'd give it a go. I forget when the series started so watched episode 2 first, but have since caught up with episode 1 and I love it!
Despite the accent he's still very much Peter Kay but perhaps the people who don't like it haven't cottoned on that he didn't write this one. It's about Danny Baker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Baker) growing up in the 70's and he wrote it with Jeff Pope (Philomena, Mrs Biggs, Cilla, Appropriate Adult) who was born in 1959 so knows the 1970's well, as do I.
I find it very entertaining, lots of laugh out loud moments, and comfortably nostalgic. For me this is also new territory. I haven't read either of Danny Baker's autobiographies and, as in real life anecdotes are subject to poetic licence, but I shall stick with it.
Well done to all involved!
