Lazy Susan

Dring & Parker's weird little sketch show got quite a belated commission for the relaunch of BBC Three based on their Comedy pilot from 2019 (and Edinburgh buzz) - the humour here is brilliantly silly and can get quite existentially weird. There's a nice contemporary vibe in there as well, especially with their musical pastiches which are largely fantastic. I'd love to see a longer form thing from them as the little micro episodes here never seem to give you quite enough. The brevity fits some sketches, but leaves others feeling aimless. Would love to see a Catterick-style surrealist narrative from the duo!

Comedy?..... A lesson in how not to offend anyone.... Might be funny if you're not too intelligent and are just accepting of mind numbing boring middle of the road tripe!

I suppose we have to accept that comedy maybe dead!

Let's face it, it is Smack The Pony with new girls! A short-fire sketch show, ending with a parody of songs.

That's not to say it is bad, but it's definitely not original. They were funny in The Windsor.

Slightly more surreal that Smack The Pony - like Monty Python at times, but it's still funny, and very silly.

Maybe their aim was to bring Smack up to date now the girls are getting on - Phillips is a presenter on morning tv!

The girls are talented, but I question the need to repeat Smack. We could do something original like Dead Pixels or Spaced.

Like Fresh Meat is a re- invention of The Young Ones, all the good ideas seem to have been taken now. Who knows where the next truely original format comes from?

Two incredibly talented women, really original material and a great addition to the new BBC3 line up. Sketch hotline in particular was brilliant. Really hope to see more!

To be honest, the only thing I'm finding funnier than then right now are all the bitter men slithering out of nowhere to trash them.

I'd seen Lazy Susan up in Edinburgh a few years ago and wondered (and hoped) that they would be picked up for a TV commission. Saw ep 1 last night and will ration the remaining three across the rest of the week - am hoping that they keep up the standard throughout. Loved it.
