Ah, finally an original idea! The lads go bowling! Well,
sort of. Their inability to buy alcohol and their run-in with an older patron
who buys alcohol for them, are of course lifted from the original series. I'll
give them a point for the effort it took to move the action from a pub to the
bar of a bowling alley.
The rest of the episode is based on the fourth episode of
the second series, when the lads go clubbing in London. It's all there, from
Simon's shoes to Neil's cut penis and Jay's cry of "bus wankers!".
One of the most memorable moments from all three series, I waited with
trepidation to see how the remake would deal with it. Would they even include
it? Would it be "bus *bleep*"? Simons' car drove by the bus stop, Jay
stuck his head out of the window and cried... "bus turds!" Bus turds.
Bus turds?!? I actually laughed it was that bad. The rest of the episode was
instantly forgettable, paling in comparison to the original it so badly tries
to copy.
Still awful but it gets a point for the original idea and
for making me laugh for the first time in three episodes.
1 out of 10.
