Apologies if this has been mentioned before. I did a search and nothing came up.

Because the Mrs wanted to watch both Eastenders last friday we ended up watching an unknown programme called 'The Goes Wrong Show' in between.

What a find. I haven't laughed so much in years. It is not intellectual comedy but it is very cleverly done.

If you want to give it a try, it is on catch up. There are three episodes available and all stand alone. I would recommend watching Fridays (set in a Court room) first but that is just my choice. All three are good.

Yes some of you won't like it but a lot of you will.

Totally agreed..seen two so far and the one last week with the court was genius.

I think it is a play in the west end also isn’t it?

But yes, the right on brigade will hate it, but those of us who just want a damn good laugh will love it.

I watched the Christmas one and found it very funny, but switched off the War one after about 5 minutes, so it's a mixed review from me...

I’d agree with you on the war one but last weeks court drama was really good and worth a watch. Best one so far imho.

Does it match Brass Eye, The Day Today or Jam?

I like a bit of darkness.

Yes, we went to see it in the west End about 3 years ago. It was hilarious, and so clever. Well worth going along to, particularly if you have enjoyed Watching it on TV.

From what I've seen not really. It's very Radio 4.

What on earth are the people on the soundtrack laughing at?

We need an option to mute all canned laughter.

Not a show for me, just another example of a poor BBC comedy show.

It's filmed in front of a live audience, isn't it?

Who no doubt have been given free drinks and told to laugh when someone holds up a laugh board.

The show that goes wrong. It's was on at the theatre royal last year, I think it's coming back. It's a must see.

Not my humour. Watched the Christmas show and could only last 5 mins before having to turn over.

Have watched all three on the TV so far, the Christmas show and the Trial show had the family in stitches, the WW2 less so. Thumbs up from us in Seaford.

I have just watched a couple on I Player, The War episode and The court case.

I would say that it is more like Acorn Antiques

It won't be everyone's cup of tea (we are all different) but there were some laugh out moments for me, especially the Court one.

I will catch up on episode one later.

Thanks OP (Worthing Exile) for bringing it to my attention.
