Review

 

From the writer and producer behind such comedy heavyweights as The Day Today, Knowing Me, Knowing You...With Alan Partridge and I'm Alan Partridge as writer / performer, comes Armando Ianucci's very own incisive and sometimes downright vicious comedy series.

With the inventive and unpredictable Ianucci at the helm each episode loosely follows a theme where he'll comment upon human behaviour through his quirky gaze, poking fun at all those who deserve it, and probably those who don't as well.

Joined by Hugh, an old man who talks about the old days, and the East End Thug, who has a unique way of problem solving, there has never been a more entertaining way of looking at the peculiarities of modern existence!

Produced and cut with deftness the show initially received little media attention, however it has since become a firm cult favourite and deserves its place in the cannon along side the likes of Alan Partridge and Brasseye.

Great observation from and staring armando iannucci. He is involved with other great comedy shows like alan partridge and the day to day his comedy style is spot on and hillarious. The perfect speed and amount of food thats just right you would think it woud be unhealthy or highly dangerous but at this desired 168mph or 6 curries and a three banoffe pies for example is just right and only drunks and joyriders know this lol . And the village who hired a foreign sniper to livin the village up genious !!!! Just watch this guy explain about life as he walks around brilliant from start to finish

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars A pleasent treat.

This series is unlike anything i have ever seen. The jokes are subtle and original and the characters are flawless. Well worth a watch. A bargain at £5!
