The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin

Great dialogue, this is silly humour that features a great performance by Noel Fielding with a bunch of really funny character actors adding to the comedy. Hugh Bonneville is brilliantly hamming it up as the Thieftaker General (hampered by his childcare problems).

This isn't purely slapstick comedy, it's intelligently done with present day references slotted in really well. The conversations are often hilarious.

Hugh talking about catching Turpin: "I want this Dick in my hands as soon as possible!" - cue sniggering from his young son.

I'd never seen Noel in anything until now but this really amused me! Definitely worth a watch for any fans of clever comedy writing in the Python or even Carry On mould.

Im not going to go into people thinking this was a remake of the old movie or a documentary any one with half a sense knows immediately its comedy reimagining . I mean a kid carries a sign that says witches get stitches You have to listen to the cadence of the speech or you miss a lot of jokes but their are plenty of slapstick and broad humor. Now some people especially in America are not going to get the humor It reminds me of The Windsors and even has Ellie White who played Princess Beatrice in it. I also think a lot of americans dont get comedy that doesnt have a laugh track. I really liked this and if you have ever liked any British comedy show you will like this.

I could say a lot about this, but you need to watch it yourself.

It is fun, witty and just what you need, when you need to laugh and have fun. Dick and Jack Sparrow could have been brothers and I think that you could put the two together, in a new movie....would that be interesting?

The negative reviews are from people that have no basic sense of humor. I don't know how you could not find this series amusing.

The casting and acting is great and the writers do a good job as well.

Just sit back and enjoy it, I guarantee that you will walk away with a smile on your face and anticipating the next episode.

My mind is confused by some people thinking this is a reboot of the old Richard O'Sullivan series 40 odd years ago.

This is simply a daft-as-a-brush comedy based on the same historical figure, though very, very loosely.

Dick (fnaar) Turpin is simply the framework to hang this silly show on, and thus far its holding the weight very well.

Our Turpin is a foppish goth who likes knitting. He lucks his way into being the leader of a Motley highwayman gang and they proceed to get into daft scrapes.

It's a very funny and silly show, with no pretence of realism or historical accuracy. That's fine by me. I'm not a huge fan of Noel Fielding, especially when he goes surreal and weird, but here he simply uses his natural charm and mild eccentricity to great effect.

A real unexpected treat for lovers of daft comedy.

Great fun comedy, completely irreverent, yet very watchable with the family! We were trying to fill a void left from the various Traitors options (another family favourite!) & found this.

Noel Fielding plays the part excellently with a very talented and experienced supporting cast. The first episode was a great introduction and kept my 12 year old very engaged (he's typically glued to YouTube shorts!!!!!!)

Looking forward to the next few episodes, I would compare it more to a cross of Blackadder and horrible histories than IT Crowd. The humour is more for a young teen audience (& their parents!)
