This. They're good performers with some interesting ideas, but it just wasn't that funny. I did like the measuring sisters though.
I don't want to be too critical because I like them both - but - it was a bit derivative.
The German hospital seemed very Benny Hill.
The Pointing show reminded me of "Call me wanker."
The sitting down watching TV was a bit Karen Taylor - and of course Anna was in that too.
The WI was a bit Little Britain.
The brummie girls reminded me of the little girl in Absolutely.
The last bit was probably a tribute to Raw Sex.
I hope they don't get criticised for being racist with "Congratulation" because white people from the Caribbean talk like that too.
Apart from that I did enjoy it though.
I think you may have been trying a bit hard to find similar things, there!
I'd say you could do that with any sketch show. The only one that reminded me of anything was the IKEA pair and French & Saunders's schoolgirls.

I wasn't trying. They just all came to me as I watched it. Sorry!
You watch TV weird.
I feel I should support Anna Crilly as she was at Middlesex University at the same time as me (on a different course and I didn't meet her). However this was awful.
I could only get through 10 minutes of this. It was reprehensibly bad.
I watched it all because I had nothing else to do but I think it was terrible.
I've seen them both in other things e.g Katy Wix was good in Not Going Out. The only bits I found remotely amusing were the brummies.

When was this, Will? I graduated in 2009.
Terrible. Should not get a series.
I did not understand Congratulation, was it a parody of something?
Pointing was excellent, but nothing else worked for me.
Quote: zooo @ September 3 2011, 12:18 AM BSTI really liked the two simpletons explaining IKEA etc.
And the 'Congratulation' sketch.
Some really excellent bits.
Yes those were the stand out bits for me too. Overall, I liked it.

I graduated from Middlesex in 1997.

That was a great sketch, but I didn't get the point of the accents; did I miss something?
The whole show seemed accent heavy. I like Katy Wix but didn't enjoy the show to be honest. I liked the two ladies who explained ordinary things but that was it.
