Of the many sketch shows being offered at the moment, and backed with the ease of access to such comedy the internet gives us, I believe it is somewhat pleasing to see a familiar face perform something new. Matt King (as made famous by his character 'Super Hans' and his part in James Nesbitts' "Jeckyll") offers an edge to the show that could not be filled by most comic actors.

The show brings together a collection of characters from across the social spectrum and adds a satirical twist, giving someone lovable figures in society such as Prue-school teachers a socio-pathic edge. The material produced itself is a series of refreshing media.

Every single joke is the same.....you can see it coming a mile off every time which makes it significantly less funny. Not even "so not funny that it's funny" it's just not funny. Simple as.

As a big fan of Peep Show and Matt King, I ploughed through all 6 episodes of Dog Face on 4OD recently, and there is probably about an hour of comedy gold thinly spread across nearly three hours.

It's not to say that it's not worth watching every episode, but they clearly filmed 7 or 8 scenes for each sketch then put one in each episode! So you can laugh at the funniest version of each scenario, then smile as they rehash several similar, but less funny versions over and over again.

If they condensed the best bits into a one hour special, it would shine!
