Dead Ringers Rocks, 31 January 2006
Author: Daniel Backhaus from Australia

When I first saw 'Dead Ringers' on ABC television in Australia, I didn't know who many of the characters were, a majority of them were British Television presenters. However, once I had done my research on the characters the similarities were hilarious. I have always been able to laugh at British humour (with the exception of 'Yes, Prime Minister') and now I can finally put something at the top of my top 5 shows to watch. 2nd is Little Britain, 3rd is The Simpsons, 4th Futurama and 5th Keeping up appearances. Dead Ringers has a limited amount of sketches though and I got pretty tired after watching the news reporters in seven consecutive episodes. Generally speaking, 'Dead Ringers' is a great satire on all things repetitive, so my vote will be 7.5 out of 10
