thesteveandjoeshow I can not express how impressed, blown away, and inspired I was by viewing some of the skits from Peter Serafinowicz Show on YOUTUBE. I think the actors and skits are incredible!! Like some of the other reviews mentioned,"I HARLDY EVER LAUGH OUT LOUD FROM TELEVISION SHOWS But this show made me literally laugh out loud!!" Each skit is just as impressive and funny as the other. I read one guys "bad" review and got so upset I had to join IMD just to comment because I cannot comprehend how some one cannot even chuckle at anything that this man does. I am so use to watching the same plain and stale comedy that when I watched these skits they had my full attention because I didn't know where it was going to take me and I knew I was in store for a fun journey with a lot of laughs. Each one is in a playful happy mood that is enjoyable to watch and laugh at, not mean spirited.FINAL REVIEW: Great actors,Great comedy show!

UtopianUK Peter Serafinowicz is an extremely talented guy. I wasn't aware of how good he is at comedy until I watched this show. The range of characters he plays are nearly all hilarious and superbly acted. The sketches are a mixed bag - ranging from good to brilliant. There are plenty of standout characters that really stick in the mind.Sadly, the show wasn't given a second series. I can only guess it failed due to lack of publicity and the time it aired. The BBC really should have given it a second chance, because it's an excellent show, that deserved a chance to attract a big audience.It will now be seen as a very very cult classic. I can only hope that Peter gets another chance to front a comedy sketch show.

bob the moo Best known for his supporting role in Spaced and of course his voice work as Darth Maul, Peter Serafinowicz gets his own show here. Shown as part of BBC2's comedy night (Thursday), the show is a mix of impressions and sketches. I taped this show for four weeks before starting to watch it and even had had a glass or two of a lovely Spanish red wine before starting to watch this. I mention this because even in this very relaxed and amiable state, this show failed to generate more than two or three laughs across the three episodes I gave it before giving it up as a bad idea.I love his character and deliver in Spaced and his impressions are uncanny at times but it is the material itself that lets Serafinowicz down because it simply is not very funny. Too often the sketches aim at easy targets so that, even if they hit them bang in the middle, it is still only amusing, never hilarious or even funny. A good example is the shopping channel sections or the 1970's Government films – both are amusing but they are so obvious in some regards that they do little more than raise a chuckle. Out of three episodes the only sketch that I actually enjoyed was the one with Darth Vader in a failed office romance – and even then it was only OK.His impressions are great though. Caine, Pacino, De Niro, Nick Cage and a great Alan Alda (who is shoehorned in) all sound great, even if he doesn't always look as convincing as he sounds. Without the material to support his impressions though, he might as well do each of them sounding like he is in a tiled bathroom speaking down a toilet roll. A shame then, because I had hoped for at least something from someone associated with the great Spaced but sadly this impressions and sketch show just falls flat minute after minute and it is telling of the quality that I considered a vague chuckle to be a high point.

Jackson Booth-Millard The only places I knew the comedian before was a programme my Mum and brothers watched called Hardware, but I knew him better in Shaun of the Dead, and playing Terry Wogan in a Comic Relief Blankety Blank spoof, and now the really good Peter Serafinowicz has his own show. When it first started I thought it was quite a clever mix of ridiculous, obvious and long-awaited (can't believe no-one did it before) comedy, and as it continued it just became a very entertaining sketch show. Characters in the show include: Brian Butterfield, the rubbish fat advertiser; O! News, with really camp newscaster Kennedy St. King; Acting Masterclass sketches with impressions of Sir Michael Caine, Al Pacino, Kevin Spacey, Ralph Fiennes, Robert De Niro and Marlon Brando (with the body of Jabba the Hutt); A Guide to Modern Life, the spoof British self-help programmes, e.g. Let's... Get Married, Have a Baby, Have an Orgy and others, all narrated by Simon Pegg; Buy It Channel, different occurrences happen with this spoof of those loathsome shopping channel shows; Michael-6, the talk show hosted by the robotic host, who almost always malfunctions and secretes white fluid from his mouth, BBN News, with the newsreader getting buzzed every time he says something incorrect; Ringo Remembers, short documentaries with Ringo Starr reminiscing about the other Beatle members or himself; Sex line spoofs where you can talk to pirates, zombies, Basil Fawlty impersonators, drunks and others; parodies of magazines with various (and usually ridiculous or unrelated) subjects; spoofs of famous detectives such as Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, Marple, Columbo and others; and many one-off sketches of pop-culture programmes and films, e.g. The Weakest Link, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, Star Wars, Laurel and Hardy, The X Factor, Big Brother and others. Also starring Little Britain's Paul Putner, Catherine Shepherd and Belinda Stewart-Wilson. A very good show, I look forward to more from it. Very good!
