Stuffed

Utterly dreadful. Stuffed is a joyless slog packed with dead-on-arrival jokes, wooden performances and a plot so thin it feels unfinished. What's meant to be festive chaos plays out like a strained rehearsal that nobody wanted to attend. Not funny, not warm, not memorable. Just painfully unwatchable. Another example of why the licence shouldn't be mandatory.

Arslan Farooqi (Guz Khan) gets a £8000 bonus at work and takes his family to Lapland for Christmas.

Only to find out that he was meant to get £800 instead. His bosses want £7200 returned.

By which time Arslan, his wife Hannah, kids and brother in law Jamie are already in Lapland. It has been a tough year for Hannah, her mother had died.

This was just the trip she needed. While Arslan needs to come up with a plan to find the money his bosses want back.

Well it was endearing. That is the best that can be said. It is not stuffed with laughs or an ample plot. Also Guz Khan is not much of an actor. He is never going to lift average material.

What happened to Christmas specials? Every year there used to be build up towards the shows, hype and excitement. Be it for characters we knew and love, like Only Fools and Horses, the 2 Ronnies, Morecombe and Wise, or new shows, that would then get a cult following (think Gavin & Stacey) Those days seem to be long gone.

This was dreadful. It seems the broadcaster were more interested in diversity than laughs, for which it was lacking.

Avoid.

All the family sat down to watch this new BBC "Comedy" prime time 9pm on BBC1 at Christmas.

Each and everyone of us found it AWFUL It is not a comedy! And the script is terrible.

And why the references to Allah and Radicalisation! Do we need this stuffed down our face at Christmas!

AVOID at all costs.

It's the kind of comedy? That would be used to make prisoners talk. Sitting through just the first five minutes felt like i was being tied to a chair and forced to stare at pure nonsense. I thought that racism was supposed to be a bad thing well apparently not according to BBC as they think it's a good idea to make a reference to white people not being able to cook.

I'm not too sure who thought it was a good idea to label it as a "comedy". I seriously think watching paint dry would be funnier than this dull and depressing "comedy".

The actors/actresses are the most annoying people I have ever listened to. I feel bad for the TV speakers for undergoing such pain of their voices.
