Vexed - Series 1

Has anyone got any information/details on a comedy called Vexed? I think it's showing next year, it's about two detectives.

This is all the information that has been released about it so far: https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/vexed/

Is there still no more news about Vexed? Angry

IMDb has the show marked as 'Completed'. I.e. just waiting on the BBC's shelf for a broadcast slot.

There's a small clip of 'Vexed' on the Greenlit website (its a couple of minutes into the showreel) - http://www.greenlit.co.uk/index.php?page=showreel

In a holding pattern over Gatwick I presume ?

Surely it could go out in the much-sought after Scallywagga slot?

It's now been scheduled for broadcast in August, so just a couple of months left to wait now.

This goes out tomorrow. It's billed as comedy drama but it looks very sitcommy. Also, it's 3 one hour episodes - I wonder it that's 6 half hour eps stitched together?

I read a terrible review of it somewhere; maybe The Radio Times. I'll probably give it a look, though.

Weirdly, I read a glowing review of it. Time will tell.

There was a nice review from Kate Saunders on Front Row, you listen to it on the link below -

It has had rather mixed reviews, I'm hoping it will be good. But I guess we'll have to wait and see.

A mixed bag. Too long, and the crime story was cliched, but I found myself warming to it slightly towards the end. Not really laugh out loud funny, but watchable.

Quite fun; not sure it knows what it wants to be; but I suppose not everything has to fit into neatly labelled boxes.

Not bad! A few sniggers from me. No way laugh out loud. Maybe next week's will be better.
