Julia Davis is a fearless, constantly hilarious writer and performer. Her observations are so familiar there were times I swore she had read my mind.
The second episode is where this show really starts to take off. Tom and Faye bargaining with the shopkeeper in the "covered arcade" was so well done. Tom is such a fraud. From his head-to-toe denim, to laughing at someone else for not knowing what dubstep is, to when a reference to The Cult is made he replies "Oh wow! Well, I don't know their music but I'm aware of their impact".
It was then, I knew that Julia Davis was able to read my mind.

Fully enjoyed this series, albeit a couple of saggy middle episodes, the transformation from first to last episode is amazing, so dark at times and so funny, David Bamber's character especially stood out, painfully awkward to a degree not seen before, taking cringe-com to a whole new level. Big fan of Julia Davis, best woman in comedy, always pushing it forward. If you enjoyed her previous work please stick with this. I have read some other reviews citing how bad this is, this is simply not true, at first the viewer is unsure if Julia has lost her touch but I assure you she hasn't! you cannot take your eyes off the screen in the last couple of episodes, very strong finish.
I feel sorry for the reviewers that have given this series a 1 or 2 star review. To not have got the comedy in this series must be terrible. I cannot imagine what they actually enjoy.
Dark, disturbing, brilliant and really, really bloody funny. Julia Davis completely nails it once again.

I decided to watch this as I love Julia Davies (Nighty Night and Gavin and Stacey) I originally watched part of Episode one and like others thought what a load of rubbish. I then read some reviews in The Times and decided to give it another try. Downloaded via Sky catchup. One of the rudest and most cringe worthy Series I have watched in many years. I am an older retired man with plenty of time to watch TV. I thought it was absolutely brilliant.I can understand why some were put off but give it a proper go (I binged it) Once you get into it you will find it Sad, unsettling ,shocking but ultimately bloody funny. Vicky Pepperdine is the ultimate horror in this and Elizabeth Berrington although underused here gives a gem of a performance Well done Julia Davies Looking forward to another series.
Loved this show. All the characters are just brilliant and played perfectly by a stellar cast. It's all about the build up to that final episode. Laughed out loud so many times.
Did you know
- TriviaThe series was originally titled "Camping", but it was then decided that the show would focus more on one character in the group and so the title was changed to "Robin's Test". However, Julia Davis ultimately decided that the simplicity of the original title worked - so the title changed back to "Camping".
