Press
One painfully long sketch relied for its punchline the words 'her peas' and 'herpes'. Yes, it was that good
Matt Baylis, The Daily Express, 11th July 2008I do think she has a certain charm that makes her watchable (and I'm not talking about the 'charms' that appeal to my husband). Actually, she does rely on her massive jugs for a lot of the humour and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that. I mean, I'm not wild about her using her sexuality for cheap gags, but the sketches in which she erroneously believes someone to be commenting on her bosoms and so gives them a load of abuse are usually the funniest in the show.
In between sketches, Taylor addresses the camera ostensibly as herself and those bits, for me, work better than the actual sketches. I don't know. It was a pleasant way to spend a half hour, but a comedy classic it is not.
