A forgotten Liverpool sitcom from the early noughties has been found to be one of the worst of all time according to a study carried out by comedy researchers.
Despite starring big names including Paul O'Grady and Sheridan Smith, the BBC sitcom Eyes Down which was set in a Liverpool bingo hall was considered by researchers to have been a flop, but it still appears to have had its fans. Eyes Down first aired in 2003 and was cancelled just a year later.
The official press release billed the show to be about the lives, loves, hopes and disappointments of the staff and customers of at The Rio, a Liverpool bingo palace. Paul O'Grady played Ray, The Rio's bingo caller and manager.
