'Orrible

A cheeky, low-stakes sitcom that ambles along with broad gags and a lot of bluster, never quite landing its punchlines.

Genres

Comedy

Starring

Johnny Vaughan, Ricky Grover

Overview

'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.
