This improvised show promises to leave viewers gasping like Gillian McKeith facing a bucket of maggots.

Created by veteran producer Dan Paterson, it sounds like his Whose Line Is It Anyway? for a new generation no bad thing.

Comedy talent, including Laura Solon, Justin Edwards, Marek Larwood, Pippa Evans, Humphrey Ker, David Armand and Greg Davies, will be pitting their wits in a series of games spoofing films, TV programmes and music.

Host Hugh Dennis says: "We have electronic trickery, animated chickens, songs and games including a fantastic sideways scene. It's half an hour of controlled improvised silliness and there is no scoring and no stars."

After the japery of last year's hit-and-miss sitcom We Are Klang, silly comedy trio We Are Klang (Greg Davies, Steve Hall and Marek Larwood) get another pop at a BBC3 show. This time the Klangers are hosting a fictional revue show featuring the trio acting out various interviews, sketches and songs as different characters - often dressed in little but their pants. Its success will depend on whether audiences embrace or loathe Klang's slapstick, which veers towards the rambunctious rather than the surreal.

If slapstick be the food of love, play on. Though winning with its relentless stupidity, the Klang team's last series We Are Klang was not a complete success. It looked like too much of the fun was had in the studio without transmitting home. So the trio of stupid comedians (Steve Hall (Mike), Greg Davies (Rick), Marek Larwood (Vivian)) went away and refined their act. Well, refined is putting too fine a point on it.

They made a fake variety show featuring a lot of fake stupid acts. tvBite was totally won over by the arrival of Donkey Dunkirk, who dresses a donkey in a Nazi uniform and then punching it out cold. But we can understand if you think it sounds rubbish so here's a quick test to see if you will like it. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid. How long would you have to repeat that for it to become funny? If fairly on you found a lot of 'stupid' very funny, tune in. If you can repeat it to yourself like Paxman asking Michael Howard a question, then avoid.

We Are Klang and the dog snog

Marek talks about having to kiss a dog for the show. "So the day of the big scene arrived, I was feeling very nervous and even brushed my teeth twice."

The adventures of the Klang mob are beyond silly, but Greg Davies, Marek Larwood and Steve Hall are so likable as the useless council officers that it's hard not to go along with their rambunctiousness. Tonight there's an implausibly efficient juggler-burglar careering through town; he's even stolen the mayor's wig. He claims to have contracted a juggling virus: "What, you mean to tell me juggling is catching?" asks Greg.

Idiotic, silly, funny, annoying: the comedy trio We Are Klang are all these. Their show, set in the fictional council offices of Klangbury, is part sitcom, part physical comedy as incompetent council leader Greg (Greg Davies), simpleton councillor Marek (Marek Larwood) and sociopath Steve (Steve Hall) go about their business.

Comedy circuit stalwarts get their own show. They are Greg Davies (the brilliantly hateful head of Sixth Form in The Inbetweeners), Steve Hall and Marek Larwood and you will have seen them on various TV sketch shows at some point. This six-part sitcom is set in a council office and is distinctly old skool - live studio aud, physical comedy, japes, etc. To give you an idea of the tone: at one point, a character is hit in the nuts with a hammer, and you might also notice the audience being hit around the head with the jokes. That being said, it has its moments, and if you enjoyed Bottom or The Young Ones, then this is an amusing-enough half an hour.

Marek Larwood Interview

Tonight, mighty sketch trio We Are Klang make that precarious but potentially stupendous leap from the circuit to TV, when their debut TV series begins on BBC3, 10.30pm. Marek Larwood is counting the minutes.

We Are Klang on BBC News

"Yesterday we paid a visit to the BBC News Channel in order to make total dicks of ourselves in an interview. I learnt two valuable things: not to kiss Greg live on television, and that BP profits have slumped by 53%."
