Overrated

A Disappointing Continuation

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

A very well made series with good observations on life by Dave and i enjoyed the enthusiasm he has for his subjects. The one about the greetings cards (watch for yourself but it's hilarious) had me in stitches.Obviously it's not as fast paced as some would like but i don't think that detracts from the quality of the programme.

I wanted to give the show a chance so I watched a few episodes before coming to the conclusion that it was terrible in every way.Bad jokesforced laughter bland and unfunny storiesDave Gorman tries to be sarcastic and witty but comes across as awkward and unfunny, even the audience struggle to laugh at his "jokes"Why Dave gave this a second series is a mystery and shows poor judgement on their part, I only hope viewers will be more intelligent and get rid of this awful piece of television.

We all would like to try everything as thoroughly as possible before forming an opinion, or at least my generation of education taught me so. But what my generation of education didn't see is none of us, not one, can ever, ever have the time for all of that.But once in a while I have some energy and inclination left after watching repeats of QI I have watched too many times before (I know confessing to watching too many repeats of QI can be discrediting for my review, but heck, where else would you find THIS program).I know I actually spent most of my review talking about why I watched it rather than about the show it itself but here's why: 1) I suspect you're reading this because you're roughly in the same place of wondering whether you want to give it a watch 2) It's really quite good so I don't want to spoil it for you 3) Really how much more explanation and introduction do you need for another stand-up comedy?Honestly, it's got a tad long built-up compared to Live at Apollo, lots of information, (and that's why it's got a lot of visual aids), etc. But those ones are often the best bits of each comedians over a long time compressed into one act. And the stuff this one builds up to is really good.Oh and it was episode 5 I watched and he spent most of it taking the mickey out of reviews on the internet, so I doubt Dave will leave my good deed unpunished.
