We Are Klang Episode 2 Review
We Are Klang's second episode was a notable improvement on last week's opener, if still a program wholly unsuited to its late timeslot. If this were performed live, sandwiched inside a Saturday morning kid's series from the '80s/'90s (say, Live & Kicking) I dare say we'd be saluting the arrival of some excellent children's entertainers. But they're not.
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 8th August 2009The adventures of the Klang mob are beyond silly, but Greg Davies, Marek Larwood and Steve Hall are so likable as the useless council officers that it's hard not to go along with their rambunctiousness. Tonight there's an implausibly efficient juggler-burglar careering through town; he's even stolen the mayor's wig. He claims to have contracted a juggling virus: "What, you mean to tell me juggling is catching?" asks Greg.
Will Dean, The Guardian, 6th August 2009We Are Klang - Episode 2
This hilarious new comedy series, following the misadventures of three woefully incompetent council officers, continues. This time, the trio are faced with the problem of an elusive thief who has wreaked havoc in the town of Klangbury.
