it wasn't that bad. i smiled broadly a few times, and had fun watching the actors i know from other comedies in their roles. however, somehow it just felt so slooooooowww, making parts of it a bit tedious. still, worth a watch instead of all the christmas dreck or comedy xmas specials from weeks ago. |

started strong and with a good nod towards the teachers style of background jokes, as it went on it turned from sight and literary gags to dickens novels charachter parodies and slowed down a lot in the laughter department. best joke of the program though the urchins trying to stop the 'three' big ben clocks ringing. first urchin jumps into the cogs of big ben and crushed yells 'oww the cogs' second urchin jumps into the cogs of massive maurice and yells 'oww the cogs' third urchin runs up and stamps on tiny terry to crush it but being barefoot gets a minature cog stuck in his foot.... 'oww the cogs' edit: listings do say four parts, one hour first part followed by three 30 minute episodes. |
