Irish Pakistani, Kevin O'Grady arrives in The UK in search of employment, he arrives at The Lillicrap novelties factory and gets taken on, he soon discovers the problems with working practices in The UK, and the racism.
One of the issues, is that every single character is racist, there isn't a single one of them that isn't, and that's one of the big stumbling blocks.
On the plus side, I think Eric Sykes is actually quite funny at times, but I don't think Milligan is particularly good here, Kevin is way too over the top, and simply a walking set of stereotypes.
Considering it's a comedy with a lot of pedigree, I just don't think it's particularly funny, take away the talk about race and prejudice, and you're left with virtually nothing, it simply doesn't have any laughs.
I'm genuinely not surprised that it was pulled, I'm only surprised that six episodes went out.
Speight definitely have us the laughs with In sick was and in health, but here, there just aren't very many.
Sadly not funny.
5/10.
