Very much liked it. was funny had a lot of humor, very much liked the slang and it different types of characters and how they seem to fit there instruments. Found the process from going back to the past using an elevator very different but all in all a excellent family (mature) comedy for different viewers.
I give it a 9-10

This series is pure peng! The sets...Boom. The screenplay, the plot. All top drawer. This has re-watch value and will have you in stitches fam. Peep this for real, 100% certified.
For those who don't speak London, let me reiterate. This is an excellent series with a fantastic plot, great sets and wardrobe, that will keep you amused. Never one dull moment and I just hope they make more as this series has legs if they chose to run it longer. Enjoy!

It's no future classic comedy but I'm surprised by some of the reviews calling it terrible and racist.
It's amusing and has it's moments and because it deals with the issues of racism in the 1950's , this seems to be the reason people call it racism, there is no point whitewashing history but laughing at how ridicolous attitudes should never be considered racist but should be considered a look back in time.
It's watchable and certainly something I would consider watching , it's not going to change the world but amusing comedy that deals with thorny issues should be encouraged.
I love an intelligent comedy, and this is one of the best! It takes a lot to make me laugh out loud this many times. It's original, with perfect comedic timing, and doesn't take itself too seriously despite the opportunities to call out prejudice. It's just fun and I love the characters are put into embarrassing and triumphant situations. Give it a try!
I thought the premise for Timewasters was innovative, the execution could of been a bit more thorough. As I watched all the episodes in one day, I was hoping for that climatic moment of relief when my hours spent watching feel worth the time which it did during musical scenes. I felt the episodes starting to drift off into mediocre bad children's tv. My rating of 6 might seem high, however that score is based on the concept of timewasters, the costumes and scenery and the musical elements of the show. Hopefully in time this show could be revived with better dialogue and episodes that lead to somewhere that make sense. After all I believe this show's audience is for a more mature audience.
