Comedy pilot premiere: The Adventures of Daniel

Superb show. Refreshing to see something new and funny. Like the format; keeps it interesting.

Well done BBC3! At last REAL comedy with REAL jokes and REAL punchlines and REAL comedians. And Ed Byrne is a legend. Put more Ed in it! Love it love it love it!!

"You want to defile my daughter with a Stella Artois flavored penis?" Brilliant stuff, I'm looking forward to more from Danny Sloss!!

Very, very funny. Laugh out loud script and a star in the making in Daniel Sloss. More of this, please.

Fresh and funny. Love the format. Daniel Sloss is charismatic, natural and likeable. Want to see more.

So funny!Really like the style and the characters!!

Great stand-up, great show. More please.

possibly the best thing BBC has commissioned. I really loved Daniel Sloss and his best friend. He seems very confident for someone so young - please commission the rest of the series - my children laughed till they hurt.

Great format and really funny. There should definitely be a full series of this.

Very, very funny & original. It really should get a series. Thanks, BBC.

And I HATE Matty; he makes me FURIOUS (!)

Really really great. Daniel is really likable and a fantastic comedian. Please please please commission the rest of this!

Awesome show; very funny and great characters!

This is AWESOME!!! great show. tbh i couldnt have laughed any more at it!! KEEP COMMENTING PPL. Lets get this making more episodes :D

At last, a Scottish comedy which doesn't take the piss out of Scottish people for being Scottish. Well done, very Seinfeld!

What a great comedy show! Excellent material based on real life observations. Can't wait to see the rest of the the series.

Awful. What is this? A pathetic attempt at a copy of the Seinfeld format. Embarrassing. BBC, for goodness sake, stop clutching at straws and actually try and find some talent.

Loved it! Really genuinely funny and interesting--lots and lots of potential in this one. Hope it goes to series!

I will truly lose faith in the BBC is this does not get a series. It is a colourful, addictive and bouncy show, full of quirks and belly laughs.

I want to see more!

I genuinely laughed out loud at this
It would be a crime not to have this made into a series

Sorry Guys. Really don't like this one. Daniel is like-able enough, but its just too safe and boring.

Love Daniel Sloss - come on BBC, commission this rather than some of the tosh you've churned out lately!

I don't get it. I really didn't like this. I didn't hate it but it seemed quite lazy and not as funny as I hoped. Oh well!

Loved it, good to see a Scottish comedy show and the way they split between acting, stand-up and random skits is pretty awesome, as well as Daniel Sloss just being a generally funny guy. (: Want a series! At the very least.

This was dreadful. Daft cut-aways are a tired formula over-used in countless American shows and the slow pace of the rest was simply horrible. In order for such a stand-up character to work the actual stand-up comedy within the show has to be good (see David Spikey's excellent bits in Phoenix Nights), but the material in this was painfully unfunny. Yet still we see the audience inexplicably bursting with laughter?? Absolute rubbish I'm afraid and anyone who likens this drivel to Seinfeld clearly has never watched Seinfeld. And the Susie Dent "A N A L" gag might be a new low-water mark in the history of British comedy.

Thoroughly enjoyed this, what a talent Slos is!

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

Really impressed with the quality of this pilot, especially considering that I'd pretty much written off BBC3 as an entire channel, bar Family Guy double bills.

I initially thought, "there is no way I am going to enjoy a vehicle put together for a 19 year old pretty boy", but Daniel is immediately likeable in a very real way. His stand-up bits weaved into the narrative are unique to sitcoms in that they are actually funny. Has anyone ever laughed at Seinfeld's gig segments bookending the show? Thought not.

As with the first episode of anything, it has to go through the obligatory 10-15 minutes of character introductions, but as soon as we meet his girlfriend's family, things pick up, with her father being an absolute stand-out character that I can see becoming a long-standing nemesis to our boy hero.

And I really must add that any show whose final 2 minutes includes the line "A STELLA ARTOIS FLAVOURED PENIS" being shouted is worth the license fee alone.

The talent's talented, the writing's superb, the narrative works - when do I get to see more?

I rather enjoyed this. There were some moments where it was a little slow. But many of the jokes were genuinely funny and I would happily watch this show again. I would approve of a series.

Thumbs up to Danny!

Fantastic, I found this genuinely hilarious and anticipate more!

Tis properly jokes, much better than some of the other 'comedy' on BBC3! Danny is awesome, make a whole series!!!

Hilarious!!! Hands down this is the best comedy pilot I’ve seen on the BBC this year. Witty and refreshing script and Danny is really likable character. Highly recommended.

Cant wait to see the series!

Loved it :]
It's so funny, and feels so fresh. Can't wait to see more.

Loved this. Really funny, a whole series a must.

Love the pilot!

Look forward to seeing more of it.

Definitely some of the best teen comedy to come out of the BBC in ages! Compare this to previous efforts ('Coming of Age', I'm looking at you) and we see something that is not only funny, but original in both it's humour and format.

Young audiences will doubtless identify with Daniel Sloss in his role as the frustrated average teenager but his real strength is in his stand-up. By throwing in small snippets of this throughout the episode we get something both new and hilarious.

My only criticism would be that the audience reaction in the stand-up scenes should be toned down since it verges on canned laughter and probably does more harm than good to the segments.

Still, if the BBC has any sense we'll doubtless see 'The Adventures of Daniel' continue into a series that will mature and improve much like it's star actor.

I thought this show was great. Great performances from all the cast, I laughed out loud on numerous occasions (which I very rarely do). I'd really like to see more of this show, partly because it was made in Scotland and there's not enough of that happening, but also because it brought a good sense of fun to what would normally be a very boring night flicking through the channels and watching repeats of everything. I particularly liked the toaster moment! Come on BBC, commission a whole series. You know it's the right thing to do!

Danny Sloss is the lol-meister! Funny fresh and loved it! Why isn't this a series????

What a fabulously, funny, genuine comedy.

I loved the characters in this pilot, particularly Danny and Matt, and the performances.


I would love to see more of this and the clever writing. Nice to see more work coming from Scotland too.

Fantastic stuff, I laughed my arse off. Would love to see a series of this!

jump on this band wagon before it gets too full. this guys brilliant and in a couple of years he could be fantastic! make a series!!!!!!! =D

Thought this was great! Really hope you commision a series. Format great and characters very believable. Family hysterical and Matt a total arrogant so and so. Loved him! Only negative was audience reaction to Daniel - bit over the top. Otherwisw, fantastic. Hope to see more.

Absolutely superb!!! Keep it coming!
I was lucky enough to get tickets for Michael McIntyre's Comedy roadshow in Glasgow this month and Daniel was one of the comedians. He was sooooooooooo funny!!!!! Lots of good material. Need to see the sex/shaving talk on tv!!!

I absolutely loved it :D You should DEFINITELY do a series, I hardly watch tv, but I would absolutely watch this, 'twas amazing :D

Fresh, original and hilarious! Great to see some new comedy with such a realistic edge and characters that are so easy to identify with. LOVED IT! And I want more!!!

Wow, that was awesome. I loved everything about this program, except Matt, the [Expletive]. :p I really want this as a series, and I am sure this would be recived better than some of the other recent shows... :)

Very good, looking forward to more

I can't beleive how amazing this actually was , it should definatly become a series. TBH Daniel Sloss is not only funny but good looking too! I would definatly make this into a series. Being 18 going on 19 my self I can relate to a fair bit of this show. Awesome stuff, keep it coming =D
