The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin

Great dialogue, this is silly humour that features a great performance by Noel Fielding with a bunch of really funny character actors adding to the comedy. Hugh Bonneville is brilliantly hamming it up as the Thieftaker General (hampered by his childcare problems).

This isn't purely slapstick comedy, it's intelligently done with present day references slotted in really well. The conversations are often hilarious.

Hugh talking about catching Turpin: "I want this Dick in my hands as soon as possible!" - cue sniggering from his young son.

I'd never seen Noel in anything until now but this really amused me! Definitely worth a watch for any fans of clever comedy writing in the Python or even Carry On mould.

Noel Fielding on Bake Off is a complete mystery to me. Un-funny and a silly add-on that adds nothing to the programme... which I really dislike in any case. However, in The Completely made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin he's back to the character that made 50% of the Mighty Boosh very, very funny. It's Marmite... you either love it or hate it, but here are a lot of the Boosh gags and personalities, brought back to life in a great situation. Great costume opportunities, great characters, daft non-sequiturs and some truly excellent guest appearances. Hugh Bonneville is inspired casting... as is greg Davies in episode 2. I absolutely loved it. Can't wait for episode three. Even the opening credit sequence is superb... what gorgeous animation! And Bob Fossil makes an appearance too. If you like Our Flag Means Death you will probably like this. I heartily recommend it.

Great fun comedy, completely irreverent, yet very watchable with the family! We were trying to fill a void left from the various Traitors options (another family favourite!) & found this.

Noel Fielding plays the part excellently with a very talented and experienced supporting cast. The first episode was a great introduction and kept my 12 year old very engaged (he's typically glued to YouTube shorts!!!!!!)

Looking forward to the next few episodes, I would compare it more to a cross of Blackadder and horrible histories than IT Crowd. The humour is more for a young teen audience (& their parents!)

Im not going to go into people thinking this was a remake of the old movie or a documentary any one with half a sense knows immediately its comedy reimagining . I mean a kid carries a sign that says witches get stitches You have to listen to the cadence of the speech or you miss a lot of jokes but their are plenty of slapstick and broad humor. Now some people especially in America are not going to get the humor It reminds me of The Windsors and even has Ellie White who played Princess Beatrice in it. I also think a lot of americans dont get comedy that doesnt have a laugh track. I really liked this and if you have ever liked any British comedy show you will like this.

Quirky, light hearted fun. An excellent show for the whole family. If you don't "get it", you're not trying hard enough. Rather than fall into the trap of the same old comedic tropes, I found the humour quite irreverent, you never know what Noel will come up with next or in what direction each character is going to go. Great supporting cast and it's nice to see a show which clearly doesn't take itself too seriously whilst still providing the touchstones of today's society as a guide to the storyline. The scenery and costumes are lavish, the dialogue witty and not a moment is wasted in this romp. The jokes on you if you don't see the funny side.
