Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere
''Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere'' is a British comedy television show on Channel 4 starring and written by Peter Kay and Paddy McGuinness. All the episodes were also directed by Kay. It began on 12 November 2004 and ran for six 30 minute episodes up until 17 December 2004. This spin off from ''Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights'' follows the two Bolton doormen/bouncers Maxwell "Max" Bygraves (Kay) and Patrick "Paddy" O'Shea (McGuinness) as they wind their way around Britain in their campervan. The key reason why they are on the open road is never mentioned in the series: however, they took £8,000 from a woman in the second series of ''Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights'' to kill her husband, but never properly went through with the job. When she discovered this, they hit the road in the van to escape the possible consequences.
Although this series was broadcast two years after ''Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights'', the action seems to be set immediately afterwards. However, the Motor Home they purchased in Phoenix Nights is a Ford, and the Motor Home they use in Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere is actually a Fiat. Peter Kay touched on this in the DVD commentary of Phoenix Nights, saying that he should have told the production company to buy a larger Motor Home than the Ford as he was going to use it in the spin off. Max is the older and more sensible of the two, roughly 40 years old, and usually pretending to have more life experience than he has actually had, including a stint in the army. Paddy is a cheeky and likely lad obsessed with sex, pornography, food, and several strange but funny catchphrases such as, "Ding dang doo." Max often coldly stares at Paddy or anyone who has offended his tastes and often shouts "H-how dare you!". He also calls people a clown or a melon if they've said something absurd. A second series of the show was initially planned for 2006, but Peter Kay instead confirmed a third series of ''Phoenix Nights'' (which as of September 2014, has not yet happened) However, on November 27, 2014 live shows were announced for comic relief, with the full cast returning.
==Theme Music==
The veteran singer Tony Christie was to sing the show's theme, but his version was only used once; at the very end of the final episode. Kay and McGuinness themselves sang it in the opening sequences of Episodes 2 to 6, chiming: "Don't know where we're going, Got no way of knowing, Driving on the Road to Nowhere, Sponging for a living, Checkin' out the women, Riding on the Road to Nowhere... And we don't take shit from anyone, The only thing we wanna do is have some fun, It's Max and Paddy, Paddy and Max, And best of all we don't pay council tax". The tune (co-written by Toni Baker and Peter Kay) borrowed heavily from the theme to the 1970s American series ''B. J. and the Bear''.
