Synopsis

'Orrible is a British television sitcom produced by the BBC. Broadcast in 2001, it was written by and starred Johnny Vaughan. Vaughan appears as a taxi-cab driver and wannabe small time criminal in Acton. Despite the BBC having high hopes and heavily promoting the series, it was panned by critics for the script and Vaughan's acting ability. It achieved very low viewing figures and ran for one series, and has never been repeated by the BBC. "Ultimately, it was shit" said Vaughan in a 2004 interview in The Stage.

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
ccornock I love this show I understand people hated Jonny vaughn at the time of this show but he is brilliant in this. Him and Ricky grover made a great team. The script is sharp and funny. With the other characters adding to this Love Noel And the Pub owner tim. with his war stories and his posh accent. This show is genius. Paul clark aka Jonny vaughn was driving a used ford granada in this show in 2001 after sean torched his red rover 827si. I would love to know what car he would be driving now maybe a used lexus is200 alan partridge style. But this show is well worth a watch from start to finish is a epic comedy and some laugh out loud moments included.
marcuspeerman It seems that only 2%of the people who saw this alleged comedy hate it....but the other 98% have forgotten it."Written", for want of a better word ,by narcissistic talent vacuum Johnny Vaughn who also stars. The co-star is Britain's Least Funny Man Ricky Grover. Grover's presence in any production in any capacity guarantees an instant fail.The majority of people say that this series is unfunny. They are wrong. Unfunny is the lack of amusement. This production is actually ANTI funny ie the opposite of funny.As well as being ineptly written and acted it is incompetent in every imaginable area..direction, production values and so on. If you haven't seen this tripe, count yourself lucky.
JGtotheE OK, so it got panned by the critics. That's no reason to have the big hate campaign against it. I absoloutly loved this series, and thing that it was a stand out piece of British comedy history. The 2 main characters were great, with Ricky Grover totally making every scene his own. The supporting characters were also great, Tim the barmans war storys had me in stitches. I recently bought the DVD and the commentary is fantastic, Johnny Vaughan doing what he does best, just talking away! If people had given this a chance instead of listening to the 'experts', the 2nd series Johnny mentions on the DVD might have been made.
bwana7 Never has a title been more appropriate for a tv show. This isnt in the slightest bit funny. I watched the first few minutes of the first episode, and then turned over. The usually funny Johny Vaughan does absolutely nothing for the series. He was funny on The Big Breakfast, but the tv show is insulting to his comic wit. DONT WATCH!!!!!!!!
