....crap. What a disappointment the new Enfield / Whitehouse show was. I'm prepared to give it a chance but it was tired, unfunny, dated, derivative, lamentable, and what's so funny about South Africans after the first sketch with some of them? Liked the girl who wasn't Morwenna Banks though.

Not like classic stuff like this



Could not bring my self to watch it if im honest. Was funny when I was in my teens but tired of catch phrased based humour now. They have both made some great stuff....but an awful lot of shite!!

They even had PW playing a foreign manager. To be fair it wasn't too much catch phrase, but did it verge towards not very good Fast Show type repetition. The Laurel & Hardy sketch made reference to Raph and Ted from the FS.

It's still funnier than Little Britain, Catherine Tate, Peter Kay and all the other crap these days.

There was a couple of good sketches in the show and it was better than a lot of shows but still not up to purpose!thumbsdown!

A desperate stab at old glories for Enfield, but a giant step back for Whitehouse, who has done some good work since they split.

Only the Geordie as pet sketch hinted at something, but it was largely dire stuff indeed.
