Totally Tom is a half-hour, scripted comedy/sketch show, written and performed by Tom Palmer and Tom Stourton.
Set in the hours of darkness and in a non-specific metropolis, the unique and sometimes macabre world of Totally Tom is inhabited by an array of characters - some relatively normal - and some bordering on the grotesque.
During our visit we meet a bitchy pair of cocaine fuelled 'posh girls', a cop with an over-imaginative sense of drama, a pair of Scottish brothers locked in a cycle of poverty, and we also see an edgy new teen-drama set in the Hitler Youth.
Our Review: We love Totally Tom. It's dark, twisted, a little bit disturbing, and just the right blend of mental. How on Earth Channel 4 allowed them to stick the knife into trashy T4 so brutally honestly, we don't know; but we're very glad.
