He goes on to say that the relationship abruptly ended after she overheard him and his friends making jokes about her height. Paddy causes tension by burning Max's book on their campfire, but Max eventually forgives Paddy and begins discussing, accompanied by a flashback, his one true love: a dwarf called Tina, whom he met in 1994. After Max shows an incredulous Paddy his notebook filled with childlike drawings of a television programme he's invented called 'Magnet and Steel', the pair reluctantly decide to sleep rough in the woods. While waiting, Max and Paddy catch the train to Middlewood, which actually turns out to be the last one that day, so the pair are forced to trek back through the woods, but get lost. The pair hand it over to a local garage run by Mick Bustin, played by Noddy Holder. After discovering the girls, locally known as the ' Belgrano Sisters', are infamous for this, they get revenge by forcing them to steal some speakers for their television.Īfter a stint in a porn film (a film called Willy Wanker and the Chocolate Factory - a gay porn parody of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory) leaves Paddy humiliated, the campervan breaks down in the Midlands. Their new moves lure two local girls, Tracey and Louise, back to the campervan, only for one of them to steal Paddy's wallet. Paddy teaches him a few cool moves the following day, and they return to the club dressed as sailors in order to blend in. The pair thus decide to go out to a nightclub to cheer themselves up and relax, but Max's uncoordinated dancing spoils the night and he ends up fighting with some sailors home on shore leave. This leads to several arguments, especially when they realise the television doesn't have any speakers. In Dover, Max and Paddy buy a plasma television from an Irish crook called Gypsy Joe (played by Brendan O'Carroll). Episode 1's opening theme is instrumental and episodes 1 - 5's closing themes are too. Kay and McGuinness themselves sang it in the opening sequences of episodes 2 to 6.

The theme song was written by Toni Baker and Peter Kay, and borrowed heavily from the theme to the 1970s American series B. 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 intended to use it in the spin-off. The motor home originally purchased by Max in Phoenix Nights was a Ford however, the motor home they use in Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere is a Fiat. He also calls people a clown or a melon if they've said something absurd. Max often oppressively stares at Paddy or anyone who has offended his tastes and often shouts 'H-how dare you!'. Paddy is an idealistic wide boy obsessed with sex, pornography and food. Max is the older and more level-headed 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. They are fugitives due to an incident in the last episodes of Phoenix Nights, in which a club patron threatened to have them killed by hitmen.Īlthough the series was broadcast two years after Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights, the plot is set immediately after the events of the previous series. A spin-off from Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights, the series follows the two Bolton doormen/bouncers Maxwell 'Max' Bygraves (Kay) and Patrick 'Paddy' O'Shea (McGuinness) as they tour around the UK in their campervan. It was broadcast on Channel 4 and began on 12 November 2004, running for six 30-minute episodes up until 17 December 2004.
