Funny stuff. And Moustache-Man (Mark, I guess) is brilliant once again.

For me, this one was a minute too long. It's a nice idea but dragged a bit.

I liked the naturalistic build up, but it was rather obvious that he was going to go back in to something strange. The moustache man was splendid again.

I have to agree here. Just out of interest, did you cut ANY 'what about the time when you...'?

Have you ever tried getting an independent editor in, someone who's not as close to the source?

Just to see what they would do with it? At the end of the day if it's rubbish you can still cut yourself.

Good work though, as always,the moustache bloke really shines out in these vids, good casting.

I really liked that, the guy with the 'tache is awesome why isn't he famous.
It felt like someone had take a mad unfilmable critique idea and made it flesh.

Very enjoyable, my criticism would be that it escalates a bit too quickly and then stays at that level a bit too long.

I think I'm agreeing with Jennie and Dolphin on this.

You've got mad activities when you want a more natural and quicker progression.

Especially as you mention murder in the leadup and feature it in the punchline

Does 'moustache bloke' send out signed photo's or have his own fan club?

Agree, nice idea - could have been a bit sharper/better balanced. Did like the line 'I for one did not know you liked sex'.

Sorry to say this is the first one I didn't like.

Not sure it was wise to run two sketches in a row with Satanic punchlines.

Yes, def could/should have sliced more.

Nah, for what this strand is, I think we'd rather just keep it to our and/or the director's views in the edit. Out of all of them, with perhaps one or two in retrospect opinions on cuts that could be made, I think we're both happy with the final versions of most of the sketches.

I thought it was okay and did enjoy the ending. Having different actors each sketch (I know some have been in more than one obviously) does to my mind give Hunka Wunda a bit of a disjointed feeling, but depends what you are trying to achieve. I'm thinking of successful sketch shows, there are usually only a core of about four or five main actors.

Not Hunka Wunda (though fans may recognise one gent from HW in there), but I co-wrote this for Owyn & Co., who made it for The Poke.

Hahaha very good.

Felt like her myself these last couple of months.

Matthew, the man in charge, who's also in the HW sketches, is he in the Peugeot ad about Gary's lost cat?
