Murder in Successville

[Official Old Man]

BBC iplayer.
Just found this and, having watched a few episodes, still don't know if it is the biggest pile of rubbish ever or hilariously funny. Martin Kemp had me rolling on the floor whilst cringing with the awfull script and acting.

I love it. Weirldly the funniest ones have been with the "celebs" who I don't actually like.

A bloke from "Made in Chelsea" and Mark Wright. Both brilliant.

I think it's fantastic, there's always something to make me laugh.

How can you not enjoy a programme that can create this image:-

The Richard Osborne episode is by far the best of the lot.

Who was the little dark haired woman desperate to shoot Paul Whitehouse?
She was all for getting evidence by less traditional means!!


That review mentions Martin Kemp forgetting his own name.
Brilliant.

"I'm DI Sleet"
"And I'm....ummm"
"You're Martin Kemp"
"I don't know anymore!!!"

Less than the sum of it's parts. Should be amazing, but often underwhelming.

The Richard Osborne episode is by far the best of the lot.

The whole scene in Hilary Clinton's art studio was so funny.

Osman looked so excited about the prospect of getting Sleet naked.

Sorry for the thread bump. Discovered this show a few nights ago and currently bingeing the lot - all available on iPlayer. Some really amusing moments although formulaic, there’s some wonderful stuff. The episode with Chris Kamara is great.

Well worth a watch if you’re a fan of improvisational comedy.

I think it's amazing.

Great show and I'm gutted that this thread bounce was not to notify a new series.

 

[Streetlight]

Murderville, the American remake on Netflix, with Will Arnett just isn't as good. It doesn't have the same campy charm or silly, unscripted moments. Can't say something was cool in our house without following it up with "and I've seen a pigeon eat some bread with a stone in it" (a low bar, but the best thing Jamie Laing has ever done).

 

[The Clamp]

It’s brilliant. One of the funniest shows of recent years.

Tom Davis is also hilarious on Judge Romesh. He’s so good he almost makes Romesh Ranganathan tolerable.

It’s brilliant - my favourite episodes are with Martin Kemp and Richard Osman. Wish I could get a box set

Haven’t seen him in it or the show - saw Romesh Ranganathan in stand up about a decade ago and he was OK

It’s worth a watch. As I say, Tom Davis is the best thing about it.
