The Mind Of Herbert Clunkerdunk, series 2 review

The second series is as absurd as the first: a tightly-packed stream of zany inventiveness, attaching distinctive visual gags, off-the-wall singalongs and non-sequitur asides to a flimsy plot.

Once a ten-minute pilot from BBC's batch of shorts, Spencer Jones' oddball comedy harks back to the days of The Goon Show and Monty Python.
