Freezing: Episode #1.1 (2009) Season 1, Episode 1

Great sitcom

[3 December 2007]

I never really watch what they have on BBC4 and was surprised to find anything this enjoyable. Incredibly funny performances and situations, love the music, the idea - this is British sitcom at its best. Hugh Bonneville and the beautiful Elizabeth Mcgovern have great chemistry and I especially love Tom Hollander as the agent Leon. It is definitely the Brits answer to Curb Your Enthusiasm but in many ways I think it is better. I heard they are putting more on BBC2 early 2008 and I cant wait - this may become my favourite new show. I haven't liked a British comedy since the office ,but this is something that made me laugh out loud. I really hope they make it into a proper series - there are so many ways they can go with this - keep up the good work. LOVE THE SHOW.

Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway (2002–2024)

Funny but stupid....

[11 June 2005]

All I want to say is this. This show isn't gonna win any Oscars, lets just get that thing straight. But if your having a Saturday night in and fancy a chuckle, tune in.

The thing about Ant and Dec is you have to forget all the stupid, unimpressive things they do and really persevere because every now again they'll deliver a line that'll get your sides splitting. I think they're much better just improvising - working without a script. They are charming at times, any one has to admit to that. But sometimes, the things they do, I mean, they put a bit of plastic on their face with a huge camera following them around, and they expect people to believe them to be normal people? Er....no.

So all in all it isn't the best thing you'll ever see but it's far from the worst.
