Chancers

Remember the good old days when sketch shows made you laugh. This is painful at times. Remarkable that the BBC comedy team gave it the thumbs up. If you compare it to say "Limmy Show" it fails in so many ways. There are no unique characters. No memorable punchlines.

It is almost like the cast felt they had to give it a go or they would regret it in later years. There is not even potential here. I dont think it is is Gringo Papi level but it is not far off it.

BBC comedy is really in a bad place. With shows like this getting made, it makes you wonder who the comedy commissioners are in the BBC?

Only thing decent was a weird karaoke version of a Simply Red because it was sung rather well.

The Northern Ireland Comedy scene has really been going from greatness to greatness in the last 10 years and this show really highlight's that you don't need deep plots, longstanding characters or hour long shows to make people laugh. Each character perfectly exemplifies Northern Irish humour, wit, and dry comedy, in a way most BBC shows don't seem to capture. The short clips create memorable characters, contagious moments, a perfect inroad to Northern Irish comedy. For those who aren't from NI, it may not be your cup of tea, but I'm very glad to finally see Comedy on the BBC that is tailored to Northern Irish audiences. Hopefully a lot more to come from this duo. Diamond Quality.
