*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This is a very funny show if you like that kind of thing. Not a lot happens really. They are after a golden crisp, no ..... actually it's a potato. I don't know why, but it doesn't really matter all that much. Elton John dies in one episode, but is no great loss. Sir Bernard is incredibly sexy if you're into short, cuddly, balding men, and his off-sider is a total sleaze. In the last episode they find the Golden Potato and bring meaning to the entire series, it's a very moving moment. The episode with the boy scouts was a ripsnorter - very amusing - if you like that kind of thing. If this hasn't whet your appetite to view the show, tell someone who cares.
