- 'That's not really funny'......or is it?
A friend recommended this to me and when he told me it was an animation I kind of disregarded it for some reason. However I finally checked it out and was astounded by its scathing social commentary of New Labour Britain. It's simply fantastic. Wonderful and varied animation, a fantastic soundtrack and perfectly suited voice overs. I've seen series 2 as well and I think it's even better. Please BBC, can we have all 3 series on DVD. It is shocking, then funny, then shocking again. My favourite sketches were Clive, chat room pervert, Daddy and Timmy and the hilarious Daisy Harris press conference. If you were to show this to people in 50 years time it would give them a perfect idea of urban Britain at the start of the 21st century. It is dark ... Read More:

- Dark, grim very funny in parts
Very dark nasty sharp clever accurate humour.
Have to be in right mind to watch it else depression could set in.

BBC: Give us seasons 2 & 3 please!

Very few films or television programmes capture the essence of their content in their opening titles - "Monkey Dust" is one of the exceptions. Juxtaposing daytime with night - the first note of the opening theme-tune has us witnessing children eating ice-cream in the park, surrounded by butterflies, with a rainbow colouring the backdrop. Day soon turns to night, however, and with the sun going down (and the street-lights coming on) we truly see the vision of Urban Britain as it is today (and is captured so brilliantly in this sketch-show): vandalism, CCTV surveillance, constant sirens outside our windows, hooded children carrying knives, sex shops, rats, drug-taking, urination and fly-tipping. Holiday anyone?

Briefly, "Welcome to ... Read More:

- Open your eyes...and the dark humour inside
Despair, agony, torment, desolation, misery.....FANTASTIC!!! The humour is dark and dirty, you feel naughty cracking a wry smile at the most depraved moments.....but you just can't help yourself, the laughter will burst out at the most inopportune moments.....the dark humour inside will out itself!!!
