Just so...so bad

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Yikes !! If ever an example were needed of how nepotism is the scourge of creativity then this pile of manure must surely be it. Is there nobody at the BBC with at least some pride when filtering out commission proposals? Surely it takes more than just a well known face and some of his writer chums before the BBC green light an idea. The people behind this drivel kept touting it as "innovative" and "ground breaking" so perhaps the men in suits were a little scared to tell the emperor and his cronies that he doesn't have any clothes. Claiming that this garbage is in any way posited in the same genre as Stan and Ollie or Charlie Chaplin is like the winner of an egg and spoon race claiming they're in the same league as an Olympic athlete. The BBC have quietly let this disaster slip into derided obscurity and no doubt the same mob have moved onto other license payer funded projects. Time the gravy train that's the BBC put a few of the old boy network out to pasture. They must be knackered constantly patting themselves on the back.

I don't know what this is, aside from weird. Its not weird in a Noel Fielding bizarre way, its weird in the way of why did they think this would be funny? Combining Pingu with Little Britain just falls incredibly flat. I suppose the problem will be that the audience for Matt Lucas does not intersect with the audience for Pingu. I, for instance, am a fan of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin & Co, but I found the jokes here tended to rely heavily on deciphering the odd word amongst the gibberish and found myself straining to interpret was what being said, rather than appreciating anything physical that was happening. A baffling experience. Failing a miracle I'm giving up on this one,1/10

Well, I think the review before this one was pretty unfair. This is a classic British comedy after the pattern of Monty Python and Mr. Bean, except that it really pushes the boundaries of normal TV. At first watching, it is a little hard to believe what you are seeing, but I think that is a good thing for a medium that is normally so totally absorbed with ratings and making money. It is a worthwhile effort, and despite its strangeness, gave us some good laughs. Relatively poor reviews will probably mean that these six episodes are all we will ever see of this, but I hope the BBC keeps whatever commitment it has to this sort of original programming.

I believe its a great clean- cut comedy that thinks outside the box. The whole point of comedy is to make original raw episodes that grab the watcher. I used to love Mr. Bean when I was a kid, note I"m saying kid. This means Pompidou not only captures and older audience but younger one too. I'm so sick of the new up to date comedy thats about sex and money. The whole point of this show I think is to laugh and to keep laughing at stupid silly sayings that stick in your head. I catch myself using some just for kicks. I think the producer is brilliant and the writer really gets a new form of comedy one that a lot of others have tried to get. Pompidou is the new clean cut silly adventure comedy. Please consider that just because the majority are a money grubbing sex appeal kind of audience not all of us are. I'm a very homely yet family man. Me and my wife enjoy clean comedy that we can share together. I hope you consider doing more episodes. Thanks for the six that I get to enjoy with my family..
