Only recently watched both series - Alison Steadman is an excellent actress but feel she bas been cast in something that is far beneth her.

I have to admit Ruth Jones as Nessa and Rob Byron as Bryn are both excellent as boring and as simple as Bryn is some of the lines were so funny the one about going on myspace and boosting about 5 friends I thought was quite funny

The main 2 characters Gavin (who has also appeared in Catherine Tate show) is very wooden and Stacey who plays Gavin's g'friend/fiance/wife - must be the woman in men's nightmares - so clingy and the high pitched welsh accent made me just want to cringe

All in all i feel that aside from the main 2 characters the show could be really good

Am I really the only member of the general public who can see Rob Brydon for what he really is? (i.e. the poor man's Steve Coogan - just as Keith Barrett is the poor man's Alan Partridge). I mean, come on, the man can’t even have his ideas - he has to copy!

I mean sure, during a 30 minute episode of any show featuring Brydon I'll manage to force out a laugh or two (if I'm very lucky & feeling generous! - hence the second star), but basically he just isn’t funny.

It’s a real shame that Steve Coogan is doing very little television these days, especially when he’s being replaced with non-entities like Rob Brydon. These are really sad, sorry days for British television when this ... Read More:

One particular episode I had to watch in three different parts because it was so depressing.

When you think you're low, this one shows you that there is still way to go

I don't understand the poor reviews. I've read the novel many times (it's one I'd take to my desert island), and yes, a lot has been left out, but the performances of David Suchet and Shirley Henderson alone make this a 5* in my opinion. Outstanding, both of them, and Matthew McFadyen was also excellent as Sir Felix.

Well, I managed about 30 minutes and then had to turn it off. A fairytale with no magic, visuals with no sense of wonder, murky and multi layered sfx, leadenly scripted and so uninvolving it leaves one bewildered. Even worse is that the visual language and pace of the film adamantly refuses you access in an attempt to be different and radical. The berserk music score also annoys. On the plus side the female lead is very good, but then so what? Quite possibly one of the worst films ever made. Zero stars.

Says our dignified narrator and guide, "Britain...Britain...Britain...land of tradition...fish and fries...the changing of the garden...trooping the colours. Have you ever wondered about the people of Britain? Nor have I..."

And with that, Matt Lucas and David Walliams take us into a Britain far removed from Jane Austin. Lucas is short, fat and hairless, something like a pink, soft kewpie doll. Walliams is tall, hirsute (hair suit?) and, depending on the occasion, wolfish or just showing a lot of teeth. They are the creators, writers and performers of Little Britain, a sketch comedy series centered on the lives of a dozen or so worst examples of British human life. Want an obnoxious, trouble-making teen with a thick accent and an excuse for everything? Try out Vicky ... Read More:

It always makes my heart sink when I watch the "behind the scenes" documentaries of TV adaptations of books, and the focus is on how they've changed things, tried to make it "relevant to the modern age" and, by implication, improved upon the original. This is an enjoyable story, but it isn't "Oliver Twist." Now, I'm not a purist. I've just finished acting in a local version of the musical, Oliver! which also strays far from Dickens' original. But this one just isn't quite right. The characters keep the same names, but are not the same people. My particular gripe is with the way the Artful Dodger is portrayed. Dodger is a boy who thinks he's a man, cynical, arrogant and a joy to read about or watch. Yet here, he is yet another sulky, stroppy teenager. Oliver, on the other hand, the writers have ...

Hey Robbie ...

Like Christmas itself this has become a feature in our household, with my 10 and 4 years olds unable to get enough of Robbie, Santa (whose a fashion victim, and the other brilliantly created characters. I personally like the Des Lynham / Alan Hansen impressions as they cover the 'Reindeer games' - sponsored by Hay. Its also written on two levels (for kids and adults) so the puns can be enjoyed by oldies and the young ones.

We watch it all year round and my advice would be to just buy it, watch it and enjoy - you pick up different things each time you watch it. The (not so) cameo from Robbie Williams is fun aswell.
