Campus

Although I think I get where the writers were coming from when they put 'Campus' together. I'm not altogether sure it translated as well to screen from script. This is a shame, as 'Green Wing' had an impeccable pedigree and worked.

A surreal set of characters inhabit the 'other-worldly' premises of a University campus. The Chancellor is a raving lunatic, the English Professor a womaniser and the Maths and Engineering Professors introverted and likely psychotic respectively. The plot lines weave across these characters with their varying involvement

I liked the exaggerated characterisations, and there are laughs, but these were a little inconsistent. Has taken me a while to circle the square of the one and only season.

I've watch through this series numerus times and, upon each viewing, I'm never disappointment.

The comedy is on point and unexpected, the plot of constantly moving forward but not rushed, and the exchanges are fast and witty.

A must watch for anyone looking for an amazing piece of writing and British comedy.

I tuned into this show simply on the off chance I might enjoy it. I left all expectations of it being 'the sequel to Green Wing' at the door and instead judged it based entirely on it's own merit, because I think that's the fairest thing to do... Thankfully I loved it.

Sure it's not to everyone's taste, for some it's too silly, too surreal, too nonsensical and risky. But it still does appeal to many people, especially young adults, probably because it is a likable and fun show for today. The writing is consistently good, the acting is great, and I can safely say I have laughed every episode. I happily recommend anyone to give it a go.

The first few episodes were not exactly enticing, I didn't find it that funny and thought it was rather bland, however I was sort of addicted at the same time. And as the programme went on it became funnier, I am a university student myself and thought it would be funny to watch, especially since I found Green Wing a pretty awesome programme. The only thing that put me off at the start mainly was the overuse of swearing and it didn't suit. Jonty has to be the best character, he's rather unhinged and that therefore makes him one of the funniest. The characters themselves all have basis as well. So giving it a chance worked out just fine, I watched it with my parents who were the ones to recommend it to me in the first place, so it may be quite silly in parts and not to everyone's amusement, but to me it is worth watching... especially towards the end where it gets much funnier. But I have to say, it is not as good as Green Wing. But it is still a pretty decent comedy.

Just an endless series of cock and fanny gags. Oh, and jokes about bums and poo as well of course. Don't get me wrong, I love a bit of toilet humour, but when that's all there is it wears very thin, very quickly. Talents such as Sarah Pascoe are wasted here; she seems to have been cast as a bimbo purely because she's blond. The un-pc quips of the VC quickly cease to seem ironic, instead becoming, while maybe not actually offensive, definitely tiresome. The problem with (apparently) sending up such humour is that, when it's a relentless stream without intelligent premise of construction, it requires you to take it at face value. All in all, a bunch of thirteen-year-olds could write something far more witty and engaging than this dross.
