    SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

    A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

    The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

    I sat and watched this with a member of my family who has cancer, and was sickened by the Beatles sketch regarding Prostate Cancer. It made us feel very uncomfortable, and angry, my relative was upset that his state of health could be laughed at, and they are still very ill. I just don't get the joke. I used to like Whitehouse and Enfield, but I switch over to another station whenever I see them. Ghastly humour.I do hope that they learn that some things are just not suitable for comedy. I guess the joke was about sticking fingers up people's bottoms, yes, real class that one. I guess that in future they might make more jokes about terminal illnesses after all there are a lot of them, a wealth of material! Simply revolting.

    Wow, I must say I'm amazed at the negative reaction. I loved Harry Enfield and Chums and eagerly awaited this series, and was not disappointed at all. I've watched the whole series at least 5 times in the last week since I bought the DVD.The sketches are generally based on observations of things in real life and are things I particularly find amusing, and I think Harry and Paul have dealt with them exceptionally well. Other sketches seems to be just a bit bonkers which is also quite fun I guess. Particular favourites of mine were 'I saw you coming', the builders, and the surgeons Sheridan and Sir Charles Curtis. Indeed some sketches were miss, for example the Jamie and Oliver one and the ones about Pete Doherty being arrested. Some I found to be slow burners but immensely funny when I got into them, for example the Nelson Mandela one and the 'Leccy Spongers'.So, don't let the above comments put you of watching it by any means, there are some people that really love the series! As for comments about the humour being too 'obvious'- firstly I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, and also the previous 'Harry Enfield and Chums' has plenty of so-called 'obvious' humour and that seems to be well-loved. I would genuinely say that this is just as funny as 'Chums', and it's more of the same (ie, predominantly 'class-based' humour: 'The slobs' and 'Tim nice but dim' and others from 'Chums' and 'I saw you coming', 'The builders', 'Clive the Geordie' etc from 'Ruddy Hell').

    It had been a long time since we had seen Harry Enfield on TV, and work with friend and regular partner Paul Whitehouse, and this new sketch show wasn't a bad return. Enfield's characters included Nelson Mandela, the Notting Hill antiques shop salesman serving to the gullible customer, the normal man buying cappuccino from Polish café servers, Guy Richie (with Madonna), and Pam and Ronald the eccentric American tourists, who like to show people their photo album. Whitehouse's characters included self-obsessed football manager José Arrogantio, Chelsea FC chairman Roman Abramovich (who thinks he can buy anything and everything, and usually does) and The Chocolatier. Together they do Bono and The Edge, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, the posh Scaffolders (who at the sight of young women turn into stereotypical vulgar/sexist builders), Jamie and Oliver the obese kids who eat large quantities of food, The Consultant surgeons Charles and Sheridan and The Clean Chavs. Also starring Morwenna Banks and Catherine Shepherd as supporting female characters. Worth watching!

    What happened to these two former heavyweight champs of Brit comedy? I used to think in the early 90s that Paul Whitehouse couldn't be unfunny if he tried and I really liked the Fast Show, Hary Enfield and Chums, etc.Maybe time really has caught up with them and they can't do it anymore, just like boxers who go on too long.It's sad because I was really looking forward to this 'comeback'. You get the feeling that Whitehouse was at a loose end after his comedy partner ran into his legal troubles and that Enfield has lost whatever he had (which was always less than Whitehouse in his heyday)The only half decent sketch is the posh scaffolders... the rest are pathetic. I would rather these two never did anything again if this is all they've got. Quit while you are ahead guys!
