Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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.

Before the avalanche of bills, the pressure to make money, being forced to work alongside uncooperative and overly dramatic people... Before adulthood and responsibilities, do you remember being a teenager or young child and just laughing at something silly? I'm talking wet-your-pants laughing. As a teen, there was some great silliness I truly enjoyed... Benny Hill comes to mind. As a child, Bugs Bunny or Mel Brooks 'Silent Movie,' or Steve Martin's 'The Jerk...'Then, at some point, it seems that 'silly' part of my life slowly eroded away over the years. Frozen pizza stopped tasting good and Creme Brulé became something I can not only pronounce, but really enjoy. Posters on my walls were replaced with oil paintings on canvas. When the word 'buffet' had just one meaning (and it had nothing to do with furniture.) A bit jaded and cynical, I now find shows like 'HAPPYish' and 'Silicon Valley,' identifiably-humorous.I don't know when it happened exactly. I'm not even sure I realized anything ever went missing until I watched this show. My initial, gut- response was, 'what the heck is this nonsense?!'As my adult-brain struggled to make heads-or-tails of what I was watching, it somehow awakened some long forgotten artifact of childhood emotion, hidden deep within my conscious memories. An emotion called 'silliness' that I haven't felt in decades.I started to watch the show though my childhood-eyes... An attempt to feel that emotion again. To see if it still exists within me.I got it! I understood it! It's silly! It's meant to be silly, silly!!! And while I didn't really LOL though anything, I did smile the whole time I was viewing it and, now, I LOL when I think about certain parts that I previously watched. And the more I think about them, the sillier and sillier they become.So, if you don't like this show, I'm sorry. Truly I am.

Well, I think the review before this one was pretty unfair. This is a classic British comedy after the pattern of Monty Python and Mr. Bean, except that it really pushes the boundaries of normal TV. At first watching, it is a little hard to believe what you are seeing, but I think that is a good thing for a medium that is normally so totally absorbed with ratings and making money. It is a worthwhile effort, and despite its strangeness, gave us some good laughs. Relatively poor reviews will probably mean that these six episodes are all we will ever see of this, but I hope the BBC keeps whatever commitment it has to this sort of original programming.

I believe its a great clean- cut comedy that thinks outside the box. The whole point of comedy is to make original raw episodes that grab the watcher. I used to love Mr. Bean when I was a kid, note I"m saying kid. This means Pompidou not only captures and older audience but younger one too. I'm so sick of the new up to date comedy thats about sex and money. The whole point of this show I think is to laugh and to keep laughing at stupid silly sayings that stick in your head. I catch myself using some just for kicks. I think the producer is brilliant and the writer really gets a new form of comedy one that a lot of others have tried to get. Pompidou is the new clean cut silly adventure comedy. Please consider that just because the majority are a money grubbing sex appeal kind of audience not all of us are. I'm a very homely yet family man. Me and my wife enjoy clean comedy that we can share together. I hope you consider doing more episodes. Thanks for the six that I get to enjoy with my family..

I loved every second of it! A 10 star comedy from Matt Lucas, my favourite comedian! I don't know what others are complaining about. It is hilarious, got a big plot, and very entertaining! Anyone will love it! You should watch it, I guarantee that you will love it. I have watched every single episode twice. Everyone should watch it! It's about a funny old man who was kicked out of his manor and is forced to live in a caravan on the grounds of his house with his dog, Marian, and his butler, Hove. He gets up to many mischievous things, like eating someone's cake, dressing up as Freddie Mercury and singing, or camping in his own home! If he does something wrong he will often blame his dog. I recommend that everyone should watch it.
