Un petit brin de vie

It is said the comedy is only funny if the character doesn't "know" he's in a comedy, and Warwick is taking his life really seriously. Utterly desperate for attention, of any kind, he's getting through from day to day, actually broke but pretending to be well off. His "fame" is far in the past, he's out of work, nobody really wants anything to do with him, but he doesn't give up. He's trying to present himself as an important celebrity, or a successful womanizer, but his constructs fail comically.

While other reviewers see a strong connection with The office, I see none, other than they both belong to the same genre. The scripting and the idea of the show are original. Funnier than The office too.

This show is one of the funniest on television at this point in time.

Warwick Davies plays Warwick Davies as a pompous, self-centred, grandiose showbiz dwarf who has fallen on hard times. He as well as Gervais and many other famous starts play themselves as very unlikeable characters-similar to extras, yet with no sympathetic main characters and thus no saving grace. This makes the show very much like Alan Partridge- wry and funny in its painfulness.

The only sympathetic characters in the show are the dwarfs that are in Warwick Davis' (halfhearted) care, yet they are juxtaposed with carnival-esque clownery slapstick as we don't see on television as it is politically incorrect.

This is one of the first shows to give dwarfs a satirical role on prime time television where they are not just used as props, but as people as part of a larger context of society. The show is a lot smarter than given credit for.

HILARIOUS show , non-stop laughter , characters are just so so funny and always come up with the most unexpected hilarious things to say . Much funnier than the Office.

The only negative thing is that there is only one season!!!

10/10.

This show was hilarious. I'm so sorry it didn't come up for a second season. Very disappointed! 😞 this show had me rolling on the floor! I hope at some point they manage to bring it back. I have watched it time and time again and it never gets old and I don't see how anyone can think otherwise. I guess it all depends on your sense of humor, but I think this was definitely his most hysterical work. And Warwick Davis was fabulous!

Kudos guys!

Hilarious. Ironically, that was all I wanted to write but was told that the review was too short
