Murder on the Blackpool Express

I have not seen any other Agatha Christie satires, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Sure, it's low budget. But, for what it is, these characters had me laughing hysterically! This film doesn't take itself too seriously and neither should you! Loved it, gonna find some more!

Murder on the Blackpool Express is a 2017 comedy. Which was original on GOLD TV and now on BBC I PLAYER. The Draper's Tour Mysteries is a comedy drama television film series created and written by Jason Cook, and starring Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson as Terry Bremmer and Gemma Draper. My mum was the one who told me about this how silly it is and quite funny. So gave it a watch. The storyline is stupid and silly but very funny in places with a murder mystery. Johnny vegas and Sian Gibson are very good talented people. The television film has a lot of different stars in and all good in playing the parts. A very different drama to watch but it sure is funny. Very well directed and produced even though is bloody stupid well it was rather funny. There is 2 more television films after this one the second one is better well I think so. It's nice to watch a light hearted comedy as it's all doom and gloom on tv and it does make you laugh. So if you want something easy to watch with comedy then give this ago. Don't go by the negative comments it was surprisingly good.

This is a good, solid light comedy and drama in the mould of an Agatha Christie-style one-by-one murder mystery, as you'd guess from the title. It's not trying to be big, loud or cutting but has much more of an 'ITV special' feel too it.

I do like my strong, punchy comedies and I also do like my highly enjoyable comedies. This is the latter and its seasoned cast do a beautiful job of delivering a strong script liberally scattered with witticisms and gags. I had a lot of fun watching it.

Where do i start? with such a fantastic line up of some of the most gifted comedy actors in Britain i was expecting not only to watch this , but to keep re watching it for years to come as a comedy classic. Sadly this will never happen, in fact it only stands up to watching it once because of the cast.Surely with the wealth of experience the cast have between them they could have advised the writers on how to inject some humour into it?. i actually questioned whether they had read the script before agreeing to star in it?, i could count on one hand the times i mildly giggled at the humour. It was like drinking a bottle of lemonade a couple of days after opening it, and the only reason i have given it a 5 rating is because i love most of the stars in it

This film concerns a seemingly disconnected group of people on a bus tour of fictional murder sites with the egotistical author of several murder mysteries leading the way. However, at each site, a murder of one of the tourists occurs and the sprightly tour guide and cynical bus driver find themselves playing detective.

This whole scenario is definitely played for laughs and it's really a joke-a- minute kind of enterprise. And that works well for the first hour. However, I think this kind of approach to comedy-murder is hard to sustain and by the time it ends, the "jokiness" gets a bit wearing. And the murder mystery itself is at a "Murder She Wrote" level of complexity. The performance of Johnny Vegas as the bus driver helps a great deal. He makes for an unusual "detective" and his jokes are the ones that land the most often.
