Well now it's plainly obvious who was the funny one in Little Britain and I'll give you a hint - it wasn't the tall one...how this was even funded to be broadcast I will never know. Honestly, I never usually write reviews but I couldn't sleep just thinking how pathetic this was, it is an absolute insult to intelligence, utterly brainless and boring - I mean, pinch me! who came up with this crap?!!! I also wonder who paid the reviewers who rated it positively? Walliams needs a new job as does Tate (not that she was ever very funny) what a waste of time, seriously this is like one of those French films that just got made to use up a pre-allocated budget.Lame.

Having read the "bad" reviews by people who'd seen the FIRST episode only - made me write this review out of disgust! I really enjoyed this series, it's well written, laugh out loud funny, even touching and the acting & characterisation is excellent. Well you can't please everyone when it comes to humour but I think they've done a very good job of this one. One of the best sitcoms I've seen for years. In the tradition of Porridge and Faulty Towers, yes, it's in the old school but I think there's a lot of us out there wanting to see something fresh but classic. I can't be the only person out there who's fed up with so called comedy where they're so scared of making an ism that there's no comedy left just "laughs" based on bodily fluids and rude words for body parts. I left THAT kind of humour behind when I left primary school. So well done BBC, please can we have more Sir?

Big School is a win for comedy fans. Drawing inspiration from The Office, Alan Partridge, and even older comedies such as Dear John (Philip Glenister's character channels Kirk St Moritz, especially in Episode 4), there are some incredibly funny scenes.Better still, because it is character-based - much like The Office and others (Partridge, Frasier) that feature anti-hero cringe characters - it improves on repeat viewing. Familiarity with Big School's characters only makes them funnier. For some reason Big School has attracted many lukewarm and even highly critical reviews. I recommend that new viewers give it a chance and watch at least a couple of episodes, preferably re-watching them, before dismissing it.After all, would Frances De La Tour pick a turkey?

With a cast like this, I was expecting big things. Sadly what I got was a tired, old fashioned, unfunny, misogynistic program. Clichéd, cringe-worthy and lacking in anything approaching laughs. If you're a fan of The Dick Emery/Benny Hill school of 1970s sexist sitcoms then It'll be right up your street, but not for me. It had me squirming in my seat with embarrassment - true car crash stuff. Whatever happened to the original talent of the likes of Walliams, Tate, et al? As for Philip Glenister, well all I can say is bye, bye career - The Gene Genie will be turning in his grave. Definitely one to miss! Though having said that - maybe watch it for the painful experience, because it won't be coming back for a second series!
