The low voice guy being on radio 4 is a joke about the shipping forcast being extremely calming. Many people in the UK listen to it to get them off to sleep.

[@jase6709]

I think it's just a Terry Wogan parody.

[@matthewjaco847]

There's actually an extended version of the ending. Manny says, "I ate all your bees!" Bernard narrows his eyes and says, "You fucker!"

[@wozzywick]

Peter Serafinowitz doesn’t play Darth Maul visually, he just does the voice

[@debbieday5812]

Peter Serafinowitz is also in Spaced but you'll get to that if you continue the series and he's in Shaun of the Dead because the idea for the movie came because of Spaced and some of the cast of the show is in the movie (Even Tyres is featured as one of the zombies)

[@sabalos]

The guy with two jobs is Tony Way. He's never the star, but he pops up in a bunch of stuff and is always great - he's alongside Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow of all things ("I've gotta be free, man!"), and has a supporting role in the adult puppet insanity Mongrels, among other things.

[@chrisduncan5842]

Graham Linehan was the customer in the burger joint

[@watersideanimals215]

Not sure how he missed that one 😊.

Fuck'n hell!

@@bobwhite894 I think he was one of the annoying mariachi musicians in Messy Joe’s

[@chrisduncan5842]

@@bobwhite894 Yep.

[@DokkaChapman]

Probably the best episode of the first series. Love it so much I actually own a Mamba Burger t shirt lol.

[@MatthewLenton]

Tony Way, the bloke serving in the burger shop has been in a lot of British comedies. He was also in Edge Of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise

[@Live-by2vk]

He’s in ‘zapped’ too, which has jay from the inbetweeners in it. Worth a watch if you ever get there!

[@morphman86]

Serafinowicz' best role so far must be as The Tick in the show with the same name. Fantastic show!

[@wozzywick]

The guy with two jobs is now in the Ricky Gervais show Afterlife!

[@stevenr6397]

he was also in Game of thrones and 'Edge of tommorrow' with tom cruise as the soldier who only wears a jockstrap!

Just FYI, Peter Serafinowicz was the voice of Darth Maul, Ray Park was the actor under all the makeup! If you've seen Shaun of the Dead you've seen him in the flesh before, though. Also, in recent years he's provided voices in animated shows like Gravity Falls, Archer and Rick & Morty to name a few :)

[@michaeltunnicliffe4935]

Another big recent movie he was in was Guardians of the Galaxy

[@TheYoungDoctor]

He was also in three episodes of Spaced as Duane Benzie including the first episode and he also has done three voiceovers for The IT Crowd including the new emergency number ad in episode 2.

[@MatthewLenton]

He also had his own sketch show and did Look Around You with Robert Popper (the creator and writer of Friday Night Dinner) Series 1 were shorter Open University spoofs and series 2 was longer Tomorrow's World spoofs

[@ajivins1]

He was The Tick

[@BunniMonster]

He also made Jimmy Carr understand that Peter's enjoyment of Countdown was none of his business.

[@MrTriptik]

You should definitely check out 'The Peter Serafinowicz show' and 'Look Around You' - absolute classics.

[@detectivesquirrel2621]

The writer Graham Linehan told Tamsin Greig (Fran) for the bed scene "Imagine you are getting into a hot bath".

[@sevenseasonsofbrown]

did you watch the commentaries? they're so funny :)

[@johnpoole8332]

Definitely watch Look Around You with Peter Serafinowicz some time.

[@heartbeatcity23]

Speaking of inbetweeners I'd recommend checking out the rude road trip special for comic relief as its a better reunion special then the reunion special and it's basically the lads gallivanting around Britain in search of rudely named towns etc in a taskmaster style challenge by Greg Davies Far superior and very hilarious

[@DarkLordoftheMeme]

I used to have a lecturer who sounded like Howel from this episode. He taught methods of social research, which was the most boring subject ever. In one lecture he was interupted when a mature student turned up late, carrying a baby. The lecture went like this: "We've been looking a lot at quantative research methods, and now we're going to look at qualitative research methods. And the thing you have to remember about qualitative research methods is...oh! Small person!"

Hey, Great Choice!

[@robster-vision475]

Without a doubt the best episode

[@justablokepostingfunvids7137]

Hope you keep going to series 2 and 3, to me it’s a show that gets better each season 👍

[@WorldFighter95]

[@Chicken_Nugget1]

Keep going with this my friend.
