Advantages: its actually funny (unlike many alleged comedies)

Disadvantages: wacky style won't appeal to all

This programme is not particularly original. I mean, there are absolutely loads of sketch shows around at the moment with characters that pop up every week. But this doesn't stop this programme being absolutely hilarious.

Particular highlights include the old woman talking about her "experiences" during the war, much to the embarassment of her young interviewer. Then there is the bizarre couple who talk through a kind of microphone in their neck in a mechanical type voice (watch it and you'll know what I mean). Then there's the aspiring actor who never quite gets it right, plus absolutely loads more to entertain.

Its the sort of programme you'll either love or hate. If you like programmes like Smack the Pony, Fast Show, Big Train etc, then you'll love this.
