Advantages: snappy one liners, quick pace, some real laugh out loud moments

Disadvantages: Only wish they'd made another series!

I love Swiss Toni. The humour at first looks sledge hammer like in its execution but I love the way Charlie Higson widened the character (from his Fast Show days) to show his range of insecurities and his myopic view of everything.

Great interplays between his wife & the head salesman, the thick junior salesman and his pointless infatuation with the worldy wise receptionist etc, make for a great cast of characters ... it is classic good 'farce'. My fav episode was when Swiss Toni gets his first PC's for the showroom as he tries to enter the 21st century. As usual, he ends up making a complete mess of it all and orders ridiculous products he doesn't need from the internet and downloads inappropriate files he can't delete!

Like all good comedy, Swiss is comdedic window into the sometimes chaotic real world we all live in.

Summary: Proper comedy series (much better than Little Britian!)
