Attention all BBC viewers! You have just a few days left to catch up on the hilarious comedy series, Colin from Accounts, before the highly anticipated second season is released next week. This Australian gem was brought to life by the talented husband-and-wife duo, Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, who also play the main characters, Gordon and Ashley.
The show is set in Sydney and follows the unexpected friendship between Gordon and Ashley, who were brought together after she flashed her boobs at him while crossing the road. This caused Gordon to hit a dog, who they lovingly named Colin. Despite their initial disagreement on whether to keep him, the pair eventually gave him away in the season finale. However, they quickly regretted their decision and tried to get him back, setting the stage for an exciting second season.
It's no surprise that the show quickly gained a devoted fan base, with big names like David Tennant, David Baddiel, and Imelda Staunton admitting their love for the series. One fan on X shared, "I missed it the first time around, but just finished watching it. So good, can't wait for the new season!" Another fan, Peter, gushed, "Absolutely loved season 1. One of the finest, funniest, and most watchable shows." And avid viewer, austennerd, urged others to catch up on season 1, saying, "This is your chance to catch up on season 1...do it, I promise you won't regret it."
Fellow fans have called the show "a gem" and "the funniest comedy" they've seen in ages. It's clear that viewers are eagerly counting down the days until the show's return. One fan even declared it to be "bigger and better news than the Oasis reunion!" Meanwhile, another fan who has already binged the second season shared, "As someone who's already watched it, it's amazing. Somehow, it's even better than the first!" And with summer coming to an end, another fan excitedly added, "This is excellent news. The summer may be over, but great TV is back!"
Not only does the show have a loyal fan base, but it also boasts an impressive 100% rating on the review site Rotten Tomatoes. In an interview with The Guardian, Harriet revealed that when submitting the original script, they were asked to tone down the colorful language, but they refused. "I said no, we'll just keep it super Australian and if people have to Google words or rewind or put on their subtitles, then they can," she shared. The couple also enjoys writing scenes where their characters argue, with Harriet saying, "It's like going for a run, it's a pressure release valve. It's good to have a yell on the street and not actually affect our relationship."
So mark your calendars, BBC viewers! Colin from Accounts season 2 will be available for streaming on Tuesday, September 3 on BBC iPlayer, and will air on BBC Two at 10pm.
