I went along the premiere of the first two episodes last night and it was very, very funny. Watching it with an audience around you always means you'll be laughing more than usual, but there were certain bits that I'm still laughing about now.
The humour is obviously similar to League of Gentlemen i.e. dark, violent and sometimes quite broad. However, the similarity is not a bad thing in my book as LoG is one of my favourite comedy shows.
Some of the cast and crew came on afterwards for a chat about the show which was informative. Reece Shearsmith, who is even more boyishly cute in real life, swore several times and was very funny. He said that he and Steve originally wanted to write something a bit lighter, but that dark humour is what they write best and enjoy.
The annoying thing is that I now have to wait for a couple of weeks to see what happens next.
As much use as a dolly bird in a cagoule.
Loved that line.
