The Worst Week of My Life

For me it's one of the best British comedies ever made.

Of course so many things happening is unrealistic but virtually all of them are entirely plausible and both the casting and acting are superb.

So many laugh out loud moments.

Such as shame at least another series wasn't made but I have enjoyed watching the show three times.

I live in the Netherlands, and I know not one tv-station that put this on tv. It was a pure coincidence that I saw a short fragment on the internet. And later also "The worst Christmass of my live". In the Netherlands it was never seen on tv. What a pitty. If you put it now, in this age, it will be stil a great succes. Every episode it's hilarious!! The "unlucky" guy is currently playing in "Death in paradice" as a English inspector to helping the "simple and small" Police force. In the series "the worst week of my live " he is very much in love and wanted to married his girlfriend. There is only one problem, the Girls parents. It's always with the best intensions, but the guy have a aura that says "Keep your distance for your own health".

I've never felt compelled to write a review or reply to anything on the net but this is pure genius!

Ben Miller is perfectly cast as a hapless groom to-be, with an incredible knack of constantly digging an ever deeper hole for himself, in the lead up to his impending marriage.

Every week i'd look forward to watch the next cringe worthy installment. It makes a refreshing change to watch a genuinely laugh-out-loud comedy without canned laughter. You'll laugh in all the right places (and sometimes wrong!) Head, shoulders, body and feet above any recent sit-coms. A riotous laugh! Truly fantastic.

Okay, so you could almost describe it as Britain's answer to 'Meet the Parents', but that is doing this fantastic sitcom a huge disservice. Ben Miller and Sarah Alexander do a fantastic job as an uptight, very much in love and very middle class couple, desperate to get through their pre-wedding week, and the casting of Alison Steadman as the hysterical perfectionist seating plan obsessed mother is a masterstroke. The comedy is constantly farcical and slapstick, but without becoming gross-out (i.e.Farrelly brothers). Do not let claims of tired ideas being rehashed put you off this fantastic britcom, because yes, the basis of the sitcom has been visited a few times before, but this is a fresh take, and the result is an invigorating and exciting exercise in programming. Highly recommended!

I'm a hard person to get to laugh at any show. I don't know if it was just stupid enough, or actually funny. How can anyone be as clumsy and accident prone? It's good for a laugh, if you need it.
