I am so grateful that I "get" the humour in this show. I would be so gutted if I missed the point. Genius characters, cringe-worthy plots. What's not to love?!
We all known an anally retentive bossy person in our every day lives. Imagine then that you had left this person in charge of your holiday? Lists, Kitty's, spreadsheets, itineraries and emails!
Whilst on said holiday, you will be joined by a recovering alcoholic and his mousy partner - together with his son who is full of hormones (no explanation necessary!) Add into the mix one half of a couple that you are friends with turning up with his new girlfriend and proceeds to fawn all over her embarrassingly! I think the observations were spot on. Especially Vicky Pepperdine's Character. I thought she was brilliant.
A must see for fans of Nighty Night.
Personally, I loved it.

I feel sorry for the reviewers that have given this series a 1 or 2 star review. To not have got the comedy in this series must be terrible. I cannot imagine what they actually enjoy.
Dark, disturbing, brilliant and really, really bloody funny. Julia Davis completely nails it once again.

This series is a little gem and I'm so glad I stumbled upon it on NowTV. If you judge the series by Episode 1 alone, you're probably missing one of the best comedy series of 2016. The first episode simply introduces the characters and places them into context in the story-line. Keep watching past the first episode and the characters and story-line develop into something deliciously funny and very watchable. Yes, some of the characters and antics are cringe-worthy, but remember this is all part of the comedy. I ended up watching all six episodes back to back, culminating in an absolutely brilliant final episode.
If you get the chance to watch it - then do. It's very good.

Julia Davis is a fearless, constantly hilarious writer and performer. Her observations are so familiar there were times I swore she had read my mind.
The second episode is where this show really starts to take off. Tom and Faye bargaining with the shopkeeper in the "covered arcade" was so well done. Tom is such a fraud. From his head-to-toe denim, to laughing at someone else for not knowing what dubstep is, to when a reference to The Cult is made he replies "Oh wow! Well, I don't know their music but I'm aware of their impact".
It was then, I knew that Julia Davis was able to read my mind.

Absolutely loved this series.... Julia Davis does it again. Just watched the re-run and enjoyed it as much the second time! Those giving this low scores are clearly aged Victor Meldrew types as this is so cleverly scripted with brilliant characters and very original...loved it and will surely watch it a 3rd time also !
Did you know
- TriviaThe series was originally titled "Camping", but it was then decided that the show would focus more on one character in the group and so the title was changed to "Robin's Test". However, Julia Davis ultimately decided that the simplicity of the original title worked - so the title changed back to "Camping".
