An absolute waste of money

... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
... View MoreExcellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
... View MoreSurreal. Brilliant. Wonderful. Im going to be honest, I love We Are Klang so much because it holds a nostalgic place in my heart. It reminds me of going on holiday and watching it with my family on BBC 3.However, I enjoyed it for what it is also. Granted it's no Extras or Frasier but its style of humour is completely different. This is more along the lines of Bottom. The characters are cooky , the music is quirky and the plots are fun for every episode. Ainsley Harriott even appears as a gun wielding version of himself. Greg Davies , Steve Hall and Marek Larwood work well as a trio and the cast of supporting characters really fit into the world and fictional town of Klangbury. This series definitely deserves a DVD release, especially when you see the other junk they put on discs. There is a petition on change.org asking for a DVD so feel free to give it a sign if you are a fan. All in all I would give We Are Klang a solid 10/10.
... View MoreI recently found this series on youtube an must say, i loved it. There are references to the Goodies, but since i never saw the Goodies i cannot comment on that. This show is an excuse for silly one-liners, bad puns and TV-violence like we've seen in Bottom.The story line is just an excuse as a set up for short sketches, or skits, as they were called on Monty Python. The actors take up several recurring roles and in true British comedy tradition dress up as women.Not the intelligent banter from Blackadder or a bit of Fry and Laurie but more in the line of the young ones, Bottom. It will appeal more to the younger generation but as an adult I did laugh several times while watching,
... View MoreI've only seen a couple of episodes so far but I love it.I was not aware of other incarnations of We Are Klang so I'm not coming to it with preconceptions. This has a bearing on another's comments, We Are Klang predates the Inbetweeners, just not in its TV form.It's largely based in the offices of Klangbury Council but at the same time its a stage show, hence the Department of Audience, no 4th wall here much of the time.Analysis would show, I suspect, comedy DNA sourced from the Will Hay/Moore Marriott/Graham Moffatt movies, The Goons, Monty Python, The Goodies*, Vic & Bob, Bottom** and Father Ted. If you like some of those you will probably like this.*Explicit reference to The Goodies in one episode.**Recurring references to Greg Davies looking like a fat Rik Mayall, which he does.
... View MoreHalfway through the first episode I was questioning my own sanity about watching this nonsensical show, but the thing is I was enjoying it!We are Klang are three comedians who have been "klanging" on radio and on stage before breaking into TV. I hadn't actually heard of them although I did recognise Greg from Mock the Week.They are council workers in a fictional town. Greg is deputy mayor and a buffoon, Steve is health and safety and is verbally abrasive, and Marek is minister without a portfolio and is, well, just slightly odd that you don't know if you should be laughing at him or calling social services. There is also the audience ministry deliciously breaking the 4th wall as the camera pans to the audience clapping. This is a surreal comedy and utter nonsense but it is so funny. The cast members know exactly what you are probably thinking and they pre-empt it themselves. Greg is constantly being ridiculed for either being a fat Rik Mayall, or (my personal favourite) a fat Giles from Buffy. In the first episode Greg says "You know what i've just realised?" and Steve jumps in with "That this is a poor imitation of The Goodies?"The cast play other characters as and when they are needed but to be honest it is when they are all in the office together that it is at its best. This won't be for everyone, it is very odd and childish in a grown up kind of way, but I would urge you to at least give it a go. I'm really glad I did
