Mad, great!
Just have to say what a great thread title when you come in with zero context.
Now I have context I need to find this show in Australia.
This guy also appears as Spencer Jones in dictionary corner on “8 out of 10 cats does countdown”. very funny and will take a look at Herbert Clunkerdunk too
Wanted to like it but way over my head.
He's also in Upstart Crow, he plays Will Kepme.

I watched about 10 minutes of the first episode, but it came across as trying quite hard to be Monty Python while actually being more like Sesame Street (actually, the quality of Sesame Street is much higher). I couldn't watch any more. Does it get better? Comparisons with the likes of the Mighty Boosch seem grossly unwarranted from what I was able to sit through.
Likewise I watched 10 minutes of episode one and was unimpressed, after reading this thread I watched more via iplayer and realised that I'd been completely right the first time around.
"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action."
'Populism, the last refuge of a Tory scoundrel'.
I saw the first one of these last year when it came out as a short on Iplayer; my assessment at the time was that it was about as funny as toothache. I watched the first 5 minutes of this lot during a trip last week and my opinion hasn't changed - it's not just that it's not funny, it's actively irritating.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Just watched some of it I agree totally overhyped crap but each to their own.
