[BobbyMercy1]

[cotterj99]

@BobbyMercy1 Thanks for the complimentary compliment. I am glad you enjoyed watching it.

[comedygoldspotter]

well done James :) you should show this to David Haig, he would be proud, very well played, the gags are great

[ClearEyeFilms2]

Yeah man You played that role really well! Do you natturally have that brittish accent or was is fake... because it sounded natural.

[cotterj99]

I am writing the message to you now. Thanks again.

[crossana]

Its amazing, you put into words exactly how i felt!! Could you respond to the message I sent you?? I'm becoming a huge fan thanks.

[cotterj99]

Thank you very much. I loved making this film it was a real good laugh to make.

Come on Terry at the chip shop is a good opening as it sums up the characters in the first minute of the film.

[crossana]

This is by FAR you're best work I absolutely loved it from minute 1-til the end of part three! The chip shop wasnt open.....A CLASSIC! Loved it should lok 2 gete this mad

[cotterj99]

That is true but it is a deliberate homage to the show and others like it, like Minder and The Sweeney as you will see in the credits when I thank all of the shows that inspired the film. But on the whole it is a showcase for my gag writing and acting. And Doyle is great at playing the straight man, his deadpan style bought a added edge to the film.

[farshnuke]

Decent but the comedy, however well done, was a little too like the thin blue line to be truly enjoying.

This is however a promising start and I love Doyles deadpan way of saying "Could use those as a bouncy castle"
