- Synopsis:
From award-winning writers Alan Carr and Simon Carlyle, 'Changing Ends' is a comedy based on Alan's childhood growing up as the son of a fourth division football manager in Northampton, 1980s. This is more than just a trip down memory lane. It's a love letter to a time and a town where things weren't always so inclusive. Told with warmth and wit, it follows Alan's journey through puberty, adolescence and finally self-discovery. Against the backdrop of Thatcher's Britain, Alan experiences sexual awakenings, battles with bullies and navigates the highs and lows of fourth division football. This is a show about school and family, and figuring out who you are when your family are Match of the Day football fanatics - and you're a little bit Miss Marple. - Actors:

The Best TV Comedy For Years - hilarious 1980s-set laugh-out-loud sitcom - Changing Ends review by PV
This is the best comedy series I have seen for ages - what with UK TV comedy going full woke, and with plummeting ratings as a result.
It is set in the 80s so those my age will love the references. And the music. Football of the 80s was, ahem, a different ballgame to now too...
An autobiographical comedy by Alan Carr, not to my taste as a comedian (most are not these days) but this is fab. Just wonderful, A genuinely funny fish-out-of-water mismatch situation in which characters, and yes some are cartoon characters and rather 2-D, revolve around little Alan, BRILLIANTLY played by a young actor.
I could watch it all again now. 5 stars, with bells on, or maybe a Kajagoogoo song...or one by Culture Club or Wham!
