How Dare You!: Max And Paddy Notebook Jotter

Product Information

QuoteI find Two Pints... slightly more enjoyable, because at least then I know the show's not a waste of potential talent. However much I dislike Kay, I can't deny he's not without talent, and M&P is a massive waste of it. GRUNTS (Jesus!) OK! Everybody move! ALARM SOUNDS Oh, watch the plasma! SIREN - Have you got me money, lads? - We're a bit busy right now, Joe. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Max and Paddy. They're generally decent guys but not above stealing and conning people if it will benefit them. Gag Penis: [[Gayngster Raymond the Bastard]] says Paddy has one of these, "like a young Burt Reynolds."

Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: The theme song was written by Toni Baker and Peter Kay, and borrowed heavily from the theme to B.J. and the Bear. To celebrate the end of Movember 2023, The Lowry and RE:TREAT will be holding Manchester’s first-ever ‘Shave-athon’ event, where blokes can turn up to the luxury city centre hotel to give their moustaches a free trim or go clean-shaven after 30 days of wearing face fur. ENGINE STARTS Where's he goin' now? Beautiful plasma screen, in't it? I'm gonna get surround-sound speakers.Dude, Not Funny!: Max's bouncer friends making jokes about Tina's dwarfism. And Max going along with it until one of them goes too far. No wonder Tina left him.

Heroic Sacrifice: Tina is determined to keep the secret that Max is Daniel's father because it will destroy her family, despite that it means Max and Paddy being in prison because her going to the police and corroborating their story will reveal everything. Eventually, she goes to the Police and gets Max and Paddy released at the cost of keeping her secret, as well as finally letting Max meet Daniel after his release. Max in turn makes his own heroic sacrifice by not telling Daniel that he is his father, and letting Tina's family remain intact. Luke, I Am Your Father: Averted. Max decides not to tell his son that he is his real father, allowing the family to get on with their lives without him interfering. An Offer You Can't Refuse: Raymond makes one with Max and Paddy for his share of the (fictitious) treasure they're pretending to have stolen.

This series contains examples of:

Shot in the Ass: Where Billy the Butcher's bullet ends up hitting Paddy. Paddy is still bleeding profusely when he walks away afterwards. Soon, their old Phoenix Club boss Brian Potter (played by Kay) unexpectedly comes to visit, along with a cake, announcing that he's organising several events to help speed up their release. They reject him, not wanting a high-profile campaign ruining their chances of release. Potter fails to listen, and the whole wing later see him on the news talking about 'the doormen' Max and Paddy: thus revealing their stories as lies. A big fight is about to break out between Raymond and his henchmen against Max and Paddy. However, the fight is prevented by a prison officer telling Max and Paddy to come with him. The episode concludes with Tina, Max's ex-love, admitting to the authorities that Daniel is actually Max's son and he was acting under stress when he stole the bus. The pair are released, having their sentences reduced to community service, and get revenge on Brian Potter by informing the Home Office that there is an outbreak of anthrax at his club. We find out in this episode that Max's full name is Maxwell Bygraves, a jokey reference to the veteran British entertainer Max Bygraves.

All these comparisons with 'late night Hollyoaks' are making me giggle but are also very true - it was just a bit lazy wasn't it? I felt bored watching it for the first ten minutes and was wondering when they were going to actually do some jokes and move onto a proper storyline, even when they did it didn't excite me at all. I only laughed once (at the 'girl with special needs' line).

Non-Indicative Name: Zahid Patel, a friend of Max's friend the Wolfster. You'd think by his name he'd be Indian, right? He's not. He's a bog-standard white man.
