Goes wrong TV show BBC

[Zirconia]

Nothing earth shattering but a pleasant little company with slap stick laughs. Bit like watching Tommy Cooper, you something will not be right.

A few in the pipe line it seems.

They've done a couple of Christmas shows the last few years - last year was A Christmas Carol, year before it was Peter Pan. They're a good laugh, and the kids liked them because people fall over a lot.

[Zirconia]

Yeah, went to see a few plays as well, probably why I noticed this.

[RicksAlfas]

Enjoyed the WW2 play, especially the teleprinter machine.

[Zirconia]

I like the visuals gags, split screen etc., nicer gentler comedy. Not sure how many they can squeeze out the format though. The plays are better I feel.

I like it. Its good harmless fun and look forward to the next 4 over the coming weeks.

I did laugh out loud at the WW2 one, don't often do that at comedy on tv these days.

[RB Will]

I stumbled upon the WW2 show by accident and loved it.

Really refreshing to see a comedy that doesn't rely on shock and vulgarity to get the laughs.

Stumbled across this tonight, have to say it’s one of the funniest programs I’ve seen on tv for a long time. Nice to see something different as opposed to the endless panel shows.

[valiant]

Suitably daft.

Wanted to hate it but found it quite funny.

[Zirconia]

Quite a chortle last night, had me in stitches in places.

Same here, stumbled across it whilst changing channels and loved it. I'm not sure there's a great depth to the comedy (I don't think I'll be watching it on repeats in ten years time), but the funniest thing I've seen for a while.

We saw them at the theatre a couple of years ago. Watching them live makes you conscious of how physical a lot of it is. There must be a fair few bruises by the end.

Surprised this is getting such a positive response.

I saw a Christmas one in a previous year and it was mild fun, but the series is painful.

The Chuckle Brothers were far cleverer and I think this would struggle on CBBC, to be honest...

Me and the wife really enjoyed this weeks one again.

I'll second this, I watched the WW2 one and couldn't last half the show, I just didnt think it was in the slightest bit funny, we cant all like the same things and it must be doing something right, I just don't get it.

[Zirconia]

Cant stand the Vicar of Dibley myself but others do. It's the way of the world.

The legal one (episode 3) is significantly better than parts 1 and 2.

very funny scenes with set changes and size of courthouse-some very good physical comedy

I''l chime in as the third, its full of the most predictable gags and painful to watch. i'm sure there is an audience for it but its not for me.
