As I was watching the show I guessed you'd written the doctors sketch seefacts. Don't know why. Maybe you'd mentioned it on here previously?
Yeah, thought there was some funny stuff on this. Well done to Seefacts . Should definitely get a series.
Good stuff. Those kid's are talented, although I think their timing was a little off on your sketches Seefacts.
My favourite sketch was the polish nanny and plumber, but I really didn't care for the lip-syncing to songs (their singing wasn't in time, and even if was, what was the point?)
Wouldn't be upset to see them again though, so hope it gets a full series.
So far I've only spotted one review in the papers, but if anyone sees any others please let us know: https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/school_of_comedy/press/
Incidently, those asking about 4oD, I'm not sure if you're aware but you can now watch C4 shows directly from their website. Apparently all you need is Media Player 11 (I think you can get that on the Mac?). Here's the School of Comedy catch-up link
For me it was a bit of a curates egg. Not sure what it's target audience was or raison d'etre really. Dressing children up as adults and giving them lesbian 'hare pie' jokes for example didn't sit entirely comfortably with me.
I'm fairly sure those ones were about 16.
It's not like they're 10.

Yet if they were French kids you wouldn't have a problem with it.

The little kid playing the husband with the moustache looked about 12.

Yeah but only because I wouldn't have understod them.

I just looked him up, he's 15 (and a half).
He does look younger though. Especially with the fake 'tache.
I don't know. I'm of offended or owt by it 
it just felt a little uncomfortable in the context. I bet there was massive debate whether it should go in or not... and I see the performers are all credited with additional material writers credits, so the little rascal probably put it in himself.
Plus ca change... etc
Ooh, a bit of French.
I bet they did add all the rude bits themselves, the naughty scamps.
Thought the 'you're made of gold!' line was fantastic.

Seefacts said it was written mainly by women and female comedy writers are notorious for being far dirtier than men. Apparently. I thought the funniest sketches had no swearing or sexual refs, but I guess they wanted to justify their late night Channel 4 spot.
I liked the show, I think the docters sketch was better than the police one.
Maybe it was extra energy generated by vthe live audience, maybe it was the line "you're made of gold!"
Probably the latter. Great work.
I've only just watched it. Some of the actors' performances are unbelievably good.
I, too, liked the hospital sketch better than the police one, mainly due to the fact that I didn't get all the words in the police sketch.

It's funny how you can never tell which bits viewers will pick up on when writing.
