... View Morea film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
... View MoreI can not express how impressed, blown away, and inspired I was by viewing some of the skits from Peter Serafinowicz Show on YOUTUBE. I think the actors and skits are incredible!! Like some of the other reviews mentioned,"I HARLDY EVER LAUGH OUT LOUD FROM TELEVISION SHOWS But this show made me literally laugh out loud!!" Each skit is just as impressive and funny as the other. I read one guys "bad" review and got so upset I had to join IMD just to comment because I cannot comprehend how some one cannot even chuckle at anything that this man does. I am so use to watching the same plain and stale comedy that when I watched these skits they had my full attention because I didn't know where it was going to take me and I knew I was in store for a fun journey with a lot of laughs. Each one is in a playful happy mood that is enjoyable to watch and laugh at, not mean spirited.FINAL REVIEW: Great actors,Great comedy show!
... View MoreThe only places I knew the comedian before was a programme my Mum and brothers watched called Hardware, but I knew him better in Shaun of the Dead, and playing Terry Wogan in a Comic Relief Blankety Blank spoof, and now the really good Peter Serafinowicz has his own show. When it first started I thought it was quite a clever mix of ridiculous, obvious and long-awaited (can't believe no-one did it before) comedy, and as it continued it just became a very entertaining sketch show. Characters in the show include: Brian Butterfield, the rubbish fat advertiser; O! News, with really camp newscaster Kennedy St. King; Acting Masterclass sketches with impressions of Sir Michael Caine, Al Pacino, Kevin Spacey, Ralph Fiennes, Robert De Niro and Marlon Brando (with the body of Jabba the Hutt); A Guide to Modern Life, the spoof British self-help programmes, e.g. Let's... Get Married, Have a Baby, Have an Orgy and others, all narrated by Simon Pegg; Buy It Channel, different occurrences happen with this spoof of those loathsome shopping channel shows; Michael-6, the talk show hosted by the robotic host, who almost always malfunctions and secretes white fluid from his mouth, BBN News, with the newsreader getting buzzed every time he says something incorrect; Ringo Remembers, short documentaries with Ringo Starr reminiscing about the other Beatle members or himself; Sex line spoofs where you can talk to pirates, zombies, Basil Fawlty impersonators, drunks and others; parodies of magazines with various (and usually ridiculous or unrelated) subjects; spoofs of famous detectives such as Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, Marple, Columbo and others; and many one-off sketches of pop-culture programmes and films, e.g. The Weakest Link, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, Star Wars, Laurel and Hardy, The X Factor, Big Brother and others. Also starring Little Britain's Paul Putner, Catherine Shepherd and Belinda Stewart-Wilson. A very good show, I look forward to more from it. Very good!
... View MoreI signed up for this site just to comment as the only other comment here says this show is rubbish. I haven't laughed at anything on TV as much as I laughed at this for years. Ringo Remembers Goldfinger, Poison Sockets, A Guide to Modern Life, Butterfield Direct, Kitchen Gun, Clone House...I could go on and on about my favourites. He is amazingly observant, and his impressions are frighteningly accurate. Anyone who has watched Look Around You will definitely get this. There are a few sketches are, let's say, hit or miss. Like Michael-6, you either get that or you don't.But I would highly recommend watching this show! He is definitely a real talent.
... View MoreWhat a pile of rubbish. I have only watched the first episode - I haven't wasted my time on any more. It was mixture of the really obvious (punchlines signposted right at the start of the sketch, for instance) and the downright weird (Kitchen Gun!!!).There were only two things which mad me laugh in the first episode. The impression of Alan Alda was absolutely uncanny. The other was the robot presenter of the Jeremy Kyle-type show: "I detect that you have a p***s".The bloke does have some talent, I admit. His Terry Wogan (as exhibited on "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross" last night, is also spot on.
