studioAT Bradley Walsh is a funny guy. As is Kayan Novak. Put them in this BBC sitcom that's trying to be somewhere between 'The Pink Panther' and 'Minder' however and they both come out of it looking like the most unfunny men on the planet.The farcical elements are all well and good, we know that Novak is a man of a million voices, but some of the jokes are so cringe worthy that you wince rather than laugh.The always lovely Emma Pierson is a welcome addition, but there's a good reason this show didn't make it to series 2 and that's that it was so cartoonish that people couldn't get on with it.Comedy is a hard nut to crack. Just ask the writers of this show.
rjtattersall Got to say first time I watched this show I thought it was the worst thing I had ever seen. But once you realise its silly fun TV with crazy characters you will grow to care about, its unmissable (sort of like a Will Ferrell movie for TV) The other great thing about this series is its there for all the family, my 8 year loves it beyond love and my 13 year will also watch episodes on repeat.Shame so many people would rather be miserable rather than enjoy what is a brilliant piece of TV comedy gold.Bradley Walsh deserves a lot of credit for his brilliant off the wall portrayal of Brutus, his facial expressions, one liners and comic timing really push this show from average to brilliant.Please please BBC give us a second series!!
robert downing At first it was difficult to know what to make of this programme but go with the flow and you soon realise it is an absolute gem. Each character is odd, but accessible and likable. Each week's story is a quirky take on a familiar theme (false identity, scam, rip off, smuggling - you get the picture) and so far it works. There could be some queasiness about the portrayal of foreigners and accents being the butt of jokes but everyone is a caricature and no one escapes parody.I really hope the BBC invests in this programme as it has a feel of a series such as 'Not Going Out' - at first not perfect but warm and quite gentle.
Em Restall I know many others seem to knock this show, and I understand that if what your after is sophisticated comedy, then you're really looking in the wrong place. I started watching SunTrap at about 1am on iPlayer one day and was genuinely expecting it to annoy me. I'm glad to say I was truly proved wrong, so after watching the second episode too, I showed it to my mum this evening and midway through the first episode my brother came down and ended up being captivated with it too and watched the second episode with us - this has never happened with anything.If a program can bring an 18 year old girl, a miserable 20 year old and our mum all to it laughing our heads off; I don't care what others say, it's a fantastic show.
