Murder in Successville

[Butter Face]

This weeks and last (with Dermot) were both very good!

One of the few programs that makes me actually laugh out loud (not in a LOL way, but in a real, actual making a noise way)

[parabolica]

Kept skipping over this on iPlayer and finally took a look last night - I was crying with laughter at the first one. I've no idea who Jamie Laing is other than being from MIC, however I thought he did a really good job, improvising his scenes with Darcy and a opening gag about bumming Taylor Swift funniest was towards the end when Sleet repeated back to him what he had mentioned previously about birds and bread, and he was cracking up just saying it.

Next few episodes were good to, although apart from Kimberly Wyatt's I don't think they've been as good as the first. I was trying to explain it to a colleague today; best I could come up with was Prime Suspect, crossed with Whose Line Is It Anyway and a Celeb Impersonation show in the style of Sin City.

I saw the one with Dermot. He's obviously quite used to thinking on his feet as a presenter and he managed to play along quite well. His lecture on ships in bottles was hilarious. That miserable cow "Lana Del Rey" as the forensics expert was pretty funny too.

I've taped these on the Sky Box (yes 'taped', even my 6 & 8 year olds say 'taped' even though they have never seen one).
I wasn't going to bother - but it sounds like generally good PH reviews and although some idiots on here liked Mrs Browns Boys I think I'll give it a shot...

I thought Dermot's was the worst of those I saw (not bad, though), because he was just a bit too slick and quick.

Some of the others have been very good though and it was a clever idea that actually worked surprisingly well.

BTW, isn't it "SuccessVILLE"?

PS Until I read this I hadn't realised the Police Chief was supposed to be Gordon Ramsay!

Good one tonight. Most of the impressions are terrible (Hammond!??!) but it doesn't really matter.

Oh and this...


I hope more people in Successville are killed soon

Series 3 is now on; 3.1 on iplayer with Richard Osman. This ep is up there with my favourite (Jamie Laing from the first series) - the painting class scene is very funny as is "Arsene Wegner" party

Yesss! I had no idea there was a new series, cheers for the heads up

[Butter Face]

Brilliant. Can't wait to watch it later!!

[Butter Face]

Superb

[parabolica]

It's obvious that Richard is a fan of the show/had seen previous episodes as he was really getting into it - love seeing it when they all crack up on screen.

The Dick Osman one was the first one of these I've watched and enjoyed it more than I thought I would have.

[MarshPhantom]

Great news, loved the last two series.

[lucido grigio]

I saw the Dick Osman episode last night,funniest thing I've seen in ages....

[cuprabob]

Just watched the Martin Kemp one and it was another cracker. He really was struggling to hold it together.

The truth serum scene made me giggle!

[cuprabob]

Just watched the Lorraine Kells one and to be perfectly honest it wasn't very good.

[Butter Face]

Yeah she was pretty useless.

Sleet was brilliant as normal and Ant & Dec was superb

I've just started watching this as every episode is available on iplayer. I think it's the funniest thing I've seen for years.
