Am i the only one who wished there was more scenes with Darren in them?? I thought he was hilarious in the majority of the scenes he appeared in,& considering he's basically a thieving git you cant help but love him!! And he said one of my favourite lines in the whole series....."ay Ant,bag o'shight,see ya".
In a way I think that the same type of character is played by Andrew Whyment (Darren) as Kirk Sutherland in Corrie. Darren was a bit more of a soft rogue type though.
Initially when I read this post, I was gonna say I didn't really care about Darren, but just looking back, that scene at Antony's birthday where he and Ant were doing the "suits you sir" routine was absolutely hilarious, especially with the look on Barbara's face and the little quips from Nana - "of course he wants it, it's his birthday present??!!" Hilarious :) So yeah, he definitely added something to the show, even if it was just to see Ant acting a little more his age rather than just being used as a servant 99% of the time!
As the last couple of Xmas specials have been...how can i say....piss poor,maybe they could do one concentrating a bit more on Darren & his family??Just a thought,can't be any worse than the golden poxy eggcup ep!!
