Summary: Lancastrian comedy genius Peter Kay returns with a second series of the irrepressible PHOENIX NIGHTS. Fans may remember the Phoenix Club's incineration at the hands of Brian Potter's (Peter Kay) arch-rival Den Perry (Ted Robbins) by means of careless disposal of a cigar butt. The second series picks up exactly where the first left off, with Potter in a panic about his club/licence/melted 'blind-boy' charity collection figurine. Having lost his licence, Brian persuades the ever-stoical Jerry St Clair (Dave Spikey) to become 'the name over the door' and a grand reopening ensues. First-class cameos (including one by Jim Bowen as Brian's bewigged mentor) and sidesplitting one-liners ensure that the chaos never lets up, and whether Max and Paddy (Kay and Patrick McGuinness) are being hired to carry out contract killings or Jerry is winding up high on ginseng, PHOENIX NIGHTS carries with it enough hilarity and panache to render it one of the most original and essential sitcoms ever made.

Arguably one of the finest comedy programmes of recent times, the second series of Phoenix Nightsis a superbly written, frequently hilarious continuation of the adventures of wheelchair-bound Brian Potter and his Bolton-based social club.
Picking up where the first series left off, with the Phoenix Club lying in ashes after being burned to the ground by Potter's nemesis Den Perry, the second season wastes little time getting things back up and running. And with the Phoenix soon back in business, the series then follows the likes of a semi-successful booze cruise, the legendary Phoenix fun day, the return of Talent Trek and bumbling doormen Max and Paddy taking on a hitman contract.
And yet all these plot points are incidental to the constant bombardment of acutely observed humour, and the consistently entertaining performances of a simply superb ensemble cast. Peter Kay may get the headline attention, unsurprising as Phoenix Nightsarguably marks his career high to date, yet Dave Spikey, Daniel Kitson and Ted Robbins are also sublime.
The end result is just brilliant, with umpteen standout and quotable moments. At its peak, incredibly funny, and at its worst still very worthy of your time, the second series of Phoenix Nightseclipses the first, easily overshines the spin-off series Max &Paddy's Road To Nowhere, and rightly takes it place as a modern day television classic.--Simon Brew
