Advantages: Extremly funny

Disadvantages: Can get a bit repetitive

This is one of the funniest sketch shows been released for a while now by the BBC. Most of the Characters are performed by the very talented Cathrine Tate.
The DVD contains all six episodes from Series One, and although the sketches are different, the characters do and say roughly the same things, just in different situations. This does get a little bit repetitive and annoying at times, but If you can live through that, you'll love this.
In my opinion, this show is much better than Little Britain (which I hated), so me thinks even if you love or hate LB, you'll love this. It's comedy everyone can laugh at and relate to, not just stereotypical comedy like LB.
