the audience applauded

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Many people have said this is not as good as Little Britain but personally I thought it was so much better. Little Britain is too crude for my taste but Come fly with me is perfect observational humour. It's especially funny if you have ever seen the "Airport" documentary about Heathrow

Considering that this was made long after Little Britain's success, Come fly with me certainly pulls its weight. An airport setting is a nice refresh from a lot of mainstream comedies. Only 6 episodes where ever made, and that's a real shame because I feel they could have done a lot more with the show. On the upside, it genuinely gives the impression of a real documentary-you could show someone the intro and they would think it is actually about a real airline.Some people would find it a bit offensive, but personally I didn't find it at all distasteful. The only complaint I have about this show is that I felt the husband and wife pilots "Jackie and Simon" were a bit over used. But it is very minor. It is a good show and is certainly worth your time if you liked Little Britain.

Ashamed to say this but this show is probably only really funny if you've seen the 'fly on the wall' shows that they parody. The characters are pitch perfect send-ups of the hapless 'stars' of the airport based programs. Less cruel than Little Britain, like many character based comedies, such as The Fast Show, this just gets funnier and funnier. David Walliams and Matt Lucas are top notch comedy actors, in some ways much too good for such light entertainment as this. Thank goodness they've dropped the catch phrases!The format probably won't last for more than a series but enjoy it will its here.

I liked Little Britain, which was funny and inventive (particularly Tom Baker's voice-overs), but this series is simply a disaster.Most of the jokes are based on stereotypes, but there seems to have been no effort to make them actually funny.A gay male cabin crew member? How side splittingly funny! A low cost airline that charges for every extra? Amazing observational humour! I watched three episodes hoping that it would get better. That maybe new characters who were amusing might be introduced, or the existing ones developed, but no.This is catastrophically unfunny, and no redemption appears to be in sight.Cheers, Will
