Page "Max and Paddy" Paragraph 3

The relationship between Max and Paddy is categorised by their ( albeit limited ) shared interests, such as TV shopping purchases, and a common sense of humour.

The two appear to share a mutual respect for each other, despite jokes made at each other ’ s expense, for example, a running joke through the two series of Phoenix Nights is Max ’ s insistence that Paddy is going bald, and he frequently points out Paddy ’ s apparently thinning hair.

Despite Paddy ’ s concern generated by Max ’ s comments, it is never revealed if Paddy is really going bald or not.

When a last minute booking of band Right Said Frank results in the band members stealing stereos from all the cars parked outside, as Max confronts the thieves, Paddy rushes to back him up and together they tackle the two men to the ground.
