It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It is almost as if someone set out to remake A Very Peculiar Practice but for some reason took the quirky University academics and oddballs interactions setup and manage to make every part of it utterly charmless , desperately trying to be vile but doing so every line for whole scenes with no humour pay-off or character in there. Comes over more like a child wanting to provoke being given attention kicking the back of someone's seat on a bus for an entire journey Tiresome. Disappointing.
A blot on many good peoples careers frankly.

The first few episodes were not exactly enticing, I didn't find it that funny and thought it was rather bland, however I was sort of addicted at the same time. And as the programme went on it became funnier, I am a university student myself and thought it would be funny to watch, especially since I found Green Wing a pretty awesome programme. The only thing that put me off at the start mainly was the overuse of swearing and it didn't suit. Jonty has to be the best character, he's rather unhinged and that therefore makes him one of the funniest. The characters themselves all have basis as well. So giving it a chance worked out just fine, I watched it with my parents who were the ones to recommend it to me in the first place, so it may be quite silly in parts and not to everyone's amusement, but to me it is worth watching... especially towards the end where it gets much funnier. But I have to say, it is not as good as Green Wing. But it is still a pretty decent comedy.

I tuned into this show simply on the off chance I might enjoy it. I left all expectations of it being 'the sequel to Green Wing' at the door and instead judged it based entirely on it's own merit, because I think that's the fairest thing to do... Thankfully I loved it.Sure it's not to everyone's taste, for some it's too silly, too surreal, too nonsensical and risky. But it still does appeal to many people, especially young adults, probably because it is a likable and fun show for today. The writing is consistently good, the acting is great, and I can safely say I have laughed every episode. I happily recommend anyone to give it a go.

Trailed on the night of it's transmission as the "Sequel to "Green Wing","Campus"is the nadir of British TV screen writing. Before the first commercial we had the requisite number of "f****s",numerous "sh**s" and one use of the not terribly well - regarded C word as icing on the cake as we discovered how bereft of imagination,originality and humour the script actually was. How could anyone think that presenting the main character as a Ricky Gervais lookalike was going to bring anything other than invidious comparisons? Most of the actors look rather embarrassed but bravely - the poor dears - carried on in the best Showbiz tradition. As the great Stephane Grapelli once said "'ooevair said ze show must go on was a cont". And that's the only word I'll be quoting from the script. In the early eighties "A very peculiar practice" was set in the medical dept of a modern university.It was funny and accurate and believable. None of those words could possibly be applied to "Campus".
