The Roundly Positive Reaction To Alison Spittle's New Show Nowhere Fast
There is no baptism of fire more treacherous than that of a Twitter reaction. Alison Spittle's new sitcom Nowhere Fast debuted on the RTE 2 last night and afterwards people took to social media to give their opinion on the pilot episode.
Though RTÉ have not had a great track record with scripted comedy over the years Nowhere Fast seemed to strike a chord with it's audience as they tweeted in force their support of the show:
Big congrats to @AlisonSpittle for #Nowherefast . Who's been a gas cunt for years, great to see that being rewarded on tv.
