Featuring many of The Fast Show's finest, this series was created and scripted by Rhys Thomas, one of the writers behind Swiss Toni - Rhys also played alongside the titular car dealer as his long-suffering apprentice, Paul.

Welsh funeral directors Ivor, Arwell, Percy and Gwynne Thomas run a family business that should be doomed to failure. For a start, the boss and father of the clan, Ivor, is scared of dead bodies and socially inept to such a degree that his wife ran off with a midget. Then there is Ivor's three sons...

Percy desperately wants to be a rock star. His rock n' roll ways have already seen him serve a term in prison for 'misusing corpses' - dressing them up as Roy Orbison and touring with them! Arwell is completely obsessed with his Fiat Panda. And the there's Gwynne, the oldest of the trio and it shows. Possessing the mental age of a child, he micturates whenever he talks!

 Dead - and best buried

| | See all Terrymug's reviews (1)

You could consider this a reprise of a lot of old jokes about death with added superfluous vulgarity in case you were insufficiently bored. Death as a subject for humour has long been popular - in fact some of this material seems to have its origins in the Golden Ass of Apuleius. There's a great deal from UK B comedy features - and a few better known ones from the fifties and sixties. The performances are sufficiently poor, however, that most of the original humour has been lost. Highly recommended for insomniacs, hence the single star. Mel Brooks would have loved this in his later life - what more need be said?

 Fun at the funeral Parlour - A comedy gem

| | See all christmastarbuck's reviews (1)

A forgotten sitcom with hilarious cameos and guest appearances from The Fast Show, Little Britain and Mitchell And Webb, Tom Baker, Brian Blessed and music by Brian May. A masterpiece of cult brilliance. Series Two is the best, hence, it appearing as disc one.
