The Goes Wrong Show

This show is a refreshing change of pace and a fun way to spend a half hour. It is quite slapstick, so that has to be your cup of tea. Even if it isn't, give this a try. It might just surprise you by how much you enjoy it. But if you don't, that's okay too. Unlike many reviewers here I don't feel you have to agree with me or that makes you a "hater" or "stupid" as some have stated. We all have our own tastes and likes/dislikes. Doesn't make either side right or wrong. But give the show a try. If you like/love it, great! If not, there are plenty of other choices out there for you to enjoy.

This might not be to everyone's sense of humor but it had us laughing until our sides hurt! Haven't seen anything that funny for a long time - well done BBC.

If you've watched mischief theatre before then you know the deal. Forgotten lines and dodgy scenery. This episode doesn't fail to deliver. Can only hope the next few episodes keep up the good work

Loved the Christmas episode - was great to have something lighthearted that we could enjoy as a family. Just watched the next episode and again a lighthearted funny programme we can enjoy with our 11 year old and all find entertaining

It's so good to see a BBC comedy which, while not an insult to the intelligence (Mrs Brown take note), is actually trying to make people laugh - and on prime time too! Daftness, slapstick, beautifully performed live stunts, and above all laughter. The trend for ditching studio audiences and laugh tracks has been a dead end - has led to a string of painfully up-themselves middle class memoirs posing as comedies. Because if you have a laugh track, you have to be at least a little bit funny or you just embarrass yourself - it keeps comedy honest.

To get postmodern audiences to accept this kind of material, though, the makers have framed the whole thing ironically: you're not laughing at what happens on the show so much, you're laughing at the show itself. The drawback is, there's no real story or characters to sustain your interest in the gags. Half an hour of this, therefore, is a lot. But it's definitely a step in the right direction, the first really hopeful sign from BBC1 comedy since Miranda - and that, as they recently reminded us, is now 10 years ago!
