Trivia / Max and Paddy's Road to Nowhere

• Acting for Two: Peter Kay plays Max, Brian Potter, and Bolton musician Marc Park.
• DVD Commentary: Peter Kay and Paddy McGuinness do not provide the commentaries.
  • Episode one: Colin Murray and Edith Bowman
  • Episode two: Bez and Shaun Ryder
  • Episodes three and four: Vernon Kay and Tess Daly
  • Episode five: Keith Harris and Orville the Duck
  • Episode six: Stuart Hall and Stuart Maconie
• Technology Marches On: Part of the first episode is centred round stealing a widescreen television. Ten years on and they’re less of a valuable commodity.
• What Could Have Been: A second season was initially planned for 2006, but Peter Kay instead confirmed a third season of Phoenix Nights (which as of 2020 has not yet happened). On 22 February 2010, Kay stated to The Sun that he and Paddy McGuinness planned to do more specials. He wanted Phil 'The Pastie' Murphy to play the portly soldier in love with Max's mother. He had also stated in 2010, during an appearance on The Chris Moyles Show, that he wanted Terry Wogan to play an Irish baddie when Max and Paddy go to a funeral in Ireland but, after a stag night, only have fancy dress magician clothes. Mayhem would then ensue as they tried to act appropriately in the situation, only to keep unintentionally doing magic tricks based on what they found in their outfits.
