Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights -
Series 1 |
The
first series of Phoenix Nights, created by and starring Bolton-born
comic Peter Kay, is one of those rare gems that few saw on first showing
but that everyone was soon talking about. Wheelchair-bound Brian Potter
(Kay) runs the Phoenix, a shabby social club populated by an assortment of
wonderfully observed characters. It's grim up North and despite the best
efforts of the staff to inject life into the proceedings- be it an
alternative comedy night, a version of Robot Wars in Potter's beloved
Pennine Suite or a Wild West extravaganza - each evening's entertainment
always ends badly. Undaunted, the Phoenix denizens continue to strive for
their dream: a world in which "clubland never dies".
Even though Kay is the focus of the show (having also directed and
penned the series); the hapless security guards,
the club entertainer Jerry, and Ray Von the dodgy DJ all combine in an
ensemble comedy the like of which hasn't been seen since Fawlty
Towers. You have to watch it a couple of times just to catch all the
visual gags, let alone pick up on all the nuances of the brilliantly
written script.
