Over black friday having seen a smattering of them over the years and decided it might be fun to go through the whole set in order. Kicking things off was the first entry in the series 'Five Go Mad In Dorset' a wonderful lampooning of 'The Famous Five' novels and That quintessential P.G Woodhouse era of british culture, where the men were toffs, the ladies housewives and the ginger ale arriving in lashings. I had a lot of fun with this one, the humours a little bit dated at this point, but in some ways that kind of enhances the comedy with this ITSELF being a lampooning of the dated opinions of the early 1900's Not a gut buster in my opinion, but still a very funny special. It had a decent hit rate and as a parody, its loving, but acidic. definitely one to watch if you enjoy shows like 'The Young ones', 'Blackadder' or 'Not the Nine o Clock News'. source https://letterboxd.com/tytdreviews/film/five-go-mad-in-dorset/ Comment Like You can also reply to this email to leave a comment.
