    Amusing but lacking the imagination, wit and development I had hoped for

    It has been quite some time since Armstrong and Miller bowed out of their Channel 4 season with a wonderfully rude season climax. So it was a pleasant surprise to me to find them reunited on BBC on the Friday evening. Watching it gave me the feeling that they are in the right slot and channel for their material now because it is a little dark but never in a challenging or offensive manner. It is funny without being hilarious and it is "different" without really risking drifting off the mainstream.

    Each episode consistently tickled me and I did enjoy it but confess that at times the lack of really big laughs did bug me. The bigger problem for me though was the material and the characters. After the first two episodes we had pretty much seen all the characters that the series had to offer and had seen them do "their thing". What I mean by this is that I quickly came to understand that in each sketch the divorced dad is going to shock his son with blunt truth delivered in a cheerfully naïve way, the café owners would squabble then fight their customers, the grey little man would come home to find his wife and boss in a compromising situation and so on and so forth. Now having characters that live off the same concept sketch after sketch is not a new idea and indeed this is what all sketch shows work with. However there is a difference between working off a concept and just repeating the same joke in every sketch and unfortunately A&M do more of the latter and less of the former.

    The divorced dad is a good example of what they do well as they use this basic concept but do different jokes each week, working the concept but not just repeating what they did before verbatim. The café women are an example of the opposite as each sketch is pretty much identical to the one before and they seem to have nowhere to go with it. In truth most of the sketches and characters fall somewhere in the middle, which is still not very good but at least is amusing enough to put me in a forgiving mood. It is surprising to me to be saying it but I was looking for so much more imagination and wit from them and too often it just isn't there.

    Amusing and fun enough to work within a mainstream channel at a mainstream time but I did go away wanting for more. The sketches and characters too often fail to grow or be used, with some of them just flatly being repeats of the same joke, sketch after sketch with no discernible difference. Mostly though it is distracting and amusing – I just hoped for more was all.

    Series 2 off to a great start

    Of course not all sketches in a sketch show are equally funny but the new series I feel has got off to a great start.

    Most favourite.... The WWII RAF officers are back - this extremely silly premise continues to amuse The song by Brabbins and Fyffe was hilarious The Neanderthals also make a welcome return But the clip I have watched again and again features the bored examiner/invigilator

    I do not know how they think this stuff up

    Least favourite ....... Jilted Jim Sci fi sketch

    Also no nudity these days? They were naked a lot on the earlier channel 4 series

    Online clips available http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00ndsgv#synopsis

    Enjoy :-)

    Very funny though a bit repetitive

    Comedians Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller present a series of skits. Many characters and scenarios are recurring, e.g. Enlightenment, the Origins of... (featuring cavepeople), the WW2 fighter pilots who speak like vacuous teens, the Russian football club owner.

    Very funny: some great punchlines, observations on modern society, dark humour, topical discussions and original takes on things. However, due to using the same characters and scenarios over and over, it can be quite repetitive. It doesn't have to be - you can reuse a template but still keep the humour fresh and the punchline unpredictable - but some jokes were just the same joke told slightly differently. Some became so predictable that you could see the punchline a mile off.

    This repetitiveness was worst in Season 1 and was made worse by some characters and scenarios that weren't that interesting to start off with. Things improved in Season 2 though as the skits became less predictable.

    Season ratings: S1 7/10, S2&3 8.5/10.
