Advantages: bubbles

Disadvantages: samey jokes

An original and often amusing comedy show written by and starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Here are some of my thoughts on the show:

* The length of the show is right, half an hour is ample and it keeps it fresh and tight

* Dafyd is a strong character, one of the highlights thanks to some awful costumes and horrible personality

* Not fond of the Bitty character which seems to be in bad taste

* Some jokes started funny yet are becoming very repetitious. Lou and Andy is a clever concept, but how many times can you play on the same joke that he can walk?

* Walliams seems to only have one voice, that camp raspy one. This means a lot of his characters sound the same

* Bubbles is superb and grotesque and has to be seen to be believed

* Tom Baker's voiceover is a credit to the show, prominent and commanding and always amusing

* The newer series seems to have descended into poor taste, using bodily functions like being sick as the mainstay of comedy

* Maybe more cast members would inject some new lifeblood into it? Walliams and Lucas are great but are they running out of steam?

Verdict: A hilarious show, but maybe some of the jokes are scraping the barrell.

Summary: worth viewing
