Tom Basden, Stefan Golaszewski, Tim Key and Lloyd Woolf's delightful sketch show returns to Radio 4 for a second series.
Theirs is a performance that likes to keep it real - instead of larger-than-life characters, they bring out the comedy in the everyday. Not that their screations are average Joes: in one sketch Mr Sneeze comes to blows with the other Mr Men, while in another, Harrison Ford desperately kowtows to a casting director.
It's about left-field observations rather than catchphrases, and makes for a refreshing, rib-tickling change.
Claire Webb, Radio Times, 13th November 2008Sketch shows are, by definition, hit and miss affairs, and it's unlikely that this will be any exception. However, the heritage of this comedy troupe, back for a second radio series, bodes well.
