I don't think anyone has posted about this yet... I couldn't find it if they have.

It's a comedy sketch show, and basically ribs the whole small minded suburban idiot racist bigot britain thing. It's very very clever, but also not for the faint-hearted... now in its second series on BBC over here, I would urge anyone with a sense for sardonic juvenile humour and general need to laugh out loud, to try and see it if you can. Narrated by Tom Baker of Dr. Who fame, it's a perfect piece of television. Hugely popular here, fast becoming cult viewing :wink:

I have almost ordered the S1 set a few times now. I keep putting it off. I should DL one of the episodes first to see if I like it. Hmm, maybe it is airing on BBCA here, I will have to look.

Definitely try to catch it if you can. Depending on how expensive the DVD is, I maybe wouldn't buy it before DLing at least one episode. The thing about this show is, though, that in a really freakish way, it truly grows on you. The first couple of times I saw it I couldn't understand where it was coming from at all. But after some persistence I've got to say bits of it are genius. Now I think it's hilarious.

If I would have thought I would've ordered it from Play when they were having their boxset sale and had my sister bring it over with the rest of my £140 :shock: order of DVDs when she comes for xmas. Damn, still only £11.99 at Play.... must...resist...

I did get Randall And Hopkirk (Deceased) for only £5.99 each season though :D
