It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

After reading the reviews I decided to watch this. Oh dear!! It was either reviewed by the shows writers or by people who watch reality TV. Absolute crap. Infantile comedy for idiots is the only way that I can describe this load of poo.

There comes a point on a TV series when it takes its overall stupidity and just plain senselessness and works with it. Its purely mindless and doesn't aim to have a fully coherent story line because that's not the point! I can't believe people would rate it lower purely on the fact that they want the plot to be better when that isn't the whole point of watching the show!Overall, quite nicely made.

Came across this show because watching Dave one day. This is truly wonderful and deserves a real following. Paul Kaye and James Buckley are brilliant together. It's like a mix of Red Dwarf and Terry Pratchett. Paul Kaye is my favourite character so far playing the slightly useless but eccentric wizard Howell followed closely by Sharon Rooney's Soothsayer Barbara. I fell in at the first episode of the second series and immediately knew I had found something great. Went back and watch the first series. It's hilarious from the start. It's an easy going, well rounded comedy, following a wonderfully kooky fantasy story with 6 foot burly fairies and a plethora of other creatures. A definite must watch for a lazy night in.

Brilliantly original sci-fi comedy, with a clever plot / story line, and well chosen actors. The 'Wrong Mans' meets 'Red Dwarf'. Only 3 episodes so far, and not a dull moment, with original jokes and situations. The writers really do have great minds, and obviously pretty wacky ones at that.Really hoping there is another series. If you liked either of the two programmes mentioned above, of if you are a Terry Pratchett fan, then this comedy is for you. Imagine a world parallel to ours, which doesn't function at all well, and into which a modern, rather boring office worker from today is then flung. The characters are all funny extremes and very well played.
