    Good story, Not enough for a whole film

    It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

    It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

    I really don't understand why so many people dislike this show. It certainly holds its own against all the other character based sketch shows that have appeared over the last few years.I didn't like her previous show 3 Non Blondes & had low expectations. Admittedly, there are a few sketches that fail to hit the mark (especially in the first series), but the majority make me laugh out loud. With such a large variety of characters & ideas there will always be some that you won't like. However, the richness of 'Little Miss Jocelyn' stems from this variety. Characters such as the Nigerian Driving Instructor, the Toilet Attendant, the Disgusting Shop worker, Gladys Kingston the foul mouthed man hater, the Dietician / Witchdoctor, Tantrum Woman and the Traffic Warden are used in the context of sketches but also in the real world in a hidden camera show style. This works beautifully & shows just how versatile & inventive Jocelyn Jee Esien is. Her skill at portraying so many very different comic characters (Old women, teenagers, men etc) in a convincing manner is impressive & so is the attention to detail. The Bus Driver & Traffic Attendant are absolutely spot on in the way they behave & speak and they're worryingly close to the real people who do those jobs.I love Gladys Kingston, the funeral chasing old ladies, the Umwopwopwopwops and the Toilet Attendant. Just give this show a chance. Don't avoid it just because a few people here hate it.

    This is for the Iceman: Man you are crazy! This series is hilarious. Seeing as you don't't get the joke, I'm wondering about your ethnic background, because if you have any connections with the Afro-Caribbean community, especially in the UK you will immediately recognise the characters and the jokes (in jokes perhaps), if so you will find this series very funny indeed. What you said reminds me of a friend of mine that is white, he does not have many friends from said community and couldn't understand or get the jokes at all. There are real people that the series is based on, I have met such people and the magnification or focus on behaviour is funny. Hey! parts of my personality are in that series (im mixed race , Nigerian and Irish parentage). Maybe you are an expert on film and comedy and trained in such but if you are Afro-Caribbean or have friends from the community then I am amazed you didn't find this series funny.

    I watched all the episodes one after the other on BBC 3 one night and i thought it was hilarious. Even though it isn't as funny as Catherine Tate or French and Saunders and any other leading English actresses, she really does do a variety of realistic characters.One of my favourites has to be the teenagers on the bus, who talk about absolute crap, but it is hilarious. Another is the parking ticket women who seems to think she knows the "quain"(queen). She even has an argument on a real street rubbish collecting and it is hilarious. Another character she plays is a black posh women who seems to think if she speaks with a posh accent and dresses like she has just ages 50 billion years people won't realise she is black, is class.I really would advise to watching this, its good to get a variety on comedy.

    If you have the sense to read here before you waste your time watching the programme then I congratulate you.This is positively terrible. It's pseudo comedy with dreadful acting verging on ham. I thought the idea of a comedy was to make people laugh. Sorry, I spent the first 4 programmes looking for a joke but couldn't find one.It seems to rely on repetition as a way of getting a point across and does so in a childish manner. I would expect that high school students could not only write a better script, but would also expect some original and funny material from them.It's no wonder people in the UK complain about having to pay a licence fee. This programme shows the worst side of British Talent and the BBC.Don't bother watching this rubbish.
