First heard Count Arthur (CAS) on BBC radio and loved it. He gets words and all sorts wrong and is quite a horrible, if hilarious, character who gets into all sorts of situations.
The TV CAS is the same character but here he is NICE!
I wasn't sure how it would work on TV but it does. With Graham Lineman (Father Ted, The IT crowd) on board there are some surreal moments, and Rory Kinnear takes a bit of getting used to.
I only have to look at Count Arthur's character and I'm already laughing.
The episode in which we have a copy of the story 'Misery' is hilarious. No bad language, just laugh out loud fun.
