Press
The fantasy sitcom starring James Buckley as an office drone cast into a magical parallel world returns for a third series in which Howell and Brian have swapped realms. Mild amusement ensues, but a decent cast that includes Steve Coogan and a manic Paul Kaye is not well served by the workmanlike writing.
