Desmonds

Newest Review: ... or summer. Overall: a good alternative comedy. Everyone in my house used to love watching Desmonds, whatever their age. Characters are imaginative and true to life. I'm sure I've seen a 'Beverley' on the 109 bus in Streatham... Unfortunately, its not on Channel 4 anymore but I have seen it being repeated on Sky a while back. You can also get it on video. ... more

This show was one of my favourite shows until Desmond died a few years ago. This show hasn't been repeated that i have seen, which is a shame because i enjoyed the show when it was on and would like to watch it again.
