User Reviews

Brilliant comedy!

Why is this brilliant piece of British comedy so unknown? Is there not an audience for strange muppet-like creatures exploring nightlife and sex? There should be! The puppets are very good, not much emotional expression but thanks to excellent puppeteering and very sharp timing this piece of work should be a classic in comedy. The story is very simple, the script is sensational, the voices and sound in general are amongst the best recorded puppetmovies. FurTV should have gone worldwide, at least six seasons instead of just one pilot. It would be a shame for comedy if this will be all! Mail the BBC!

nb. Only three movies have made me spray beer from my nose from laughing. This is one of them.
