This Is Jinsy was a pilot of a show that aired a week last Monday on BBC3.
Did anyone see it? I confess I watched it because I was told to. It was billed as a mixture of Python and Mighty Boosh.
It was certainly surreal, or at the very least absurd. I thought it had an awful lot of potential but seemed to miss the mark a bit... Their 10 minute teaser (which they made in order to recieve funding for the pilot) was far far funnier IMO.
What did anyone else think.

I saw an advert for it, thought it seemed like a load of s**t - not my cup of tea at all...
To me it's just an excuse to act like a bunch of f
kwits in the name of humour, kind of like that other pile of monkey crap, the league of gentlemen. What a large steaming turd that was
I loved the League of Gentlemen, that was very funny. Jinsy I was less impressed with.
Surreal humour is great when it is just right. Father Ted was ace, LoG was as well. But Jinsy just seems too weird and contrived. They have gone too far. I lost track of the Might Boosh and stopped watching, but Jinsy didn't get past the 10 minute mark.
