The play/show that goes wrong

I loved The Play... and the Christmas and Peter Pan. I loved the first of this series but like an earlier poster I thing having a series to soon and too near to each other. I need to forget it’s going to go do wrong to enjoy the shock. I now really like rather than love the series.

I laughed out loud several times this week

I 100% agree with you Franbern - and yes, I'm a Lee Mack fan too

I just so much enjoy these- such a change from most tv shows which are all about murder etc. Must say I also enjoy sitcoms like Outnumbered, Not Going Out and also enjoy Would I lie You. As can be seen I am quite a Lee Mack fan!!!
TBH, I want my television to entertain me, and even make me laugh and feel good, do not want horrible reality shows and intense dramas.

I really enjoyed the past t. v shows, especially Peter Pan but having looked forward to the new series of shows I find they are not as funny.

I have 2 left to watch and will stick with it but something is falling a tad short for me and I feel mean for saying so oddly.

I liked David Suchet as the narrator and miss that role.

We saw the Play That Went Wrong at the Duchess theatre. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen on a stage. Seen theBank Robbery one which was also funny but was different and good but not quite as funny.

I was at home today, waiting in for a delivery, so was able to catch up with all the episodes. Great compensation for the non-delivery of my goods.....now! what can I catch up on tomorrow? (the first person who says "housework" can just go take a running leap)

I saw the Peter Pan one at the Lowry in Manchester. I'm afraid it left me cold - just too OTT for me, not helped by someone in the row behind giving a running commentary in between hysterical guffaws. We left during the interval, as did several other people. Just not my thing.

Apologies Gaunt, but I see that Cunco and I cross posted.
As Phoenix would say, 'as you were'.

Oh I see - the emoji. Duh!!!

Auntieflo thank you, but what is for me from your iPad!!!

I love it, laugh out loud funny, I was involved with amdram for many years and it is all so true to life, great show0

?. Gaunt, this is for you from my IPad

?

Apparently Penn and Teller helped with the Magic show.

I love the series on BBC TV, and would very much like to see the 'Magic Goes Wrong' show in London. Wonderfully silly and innocent stuff, and laugh out loud - we need an emoji of a smiley face with tears of laughter!

My wife and I have seen 3 of their shows in London, enjoyed them all (especially the Bank robbery) and have booked to see 'Magic Goes Wrong'; but, like lemongrove we've been less enthusiastic about the TV shows. Tonight's horror show had its moments but when you expect things to go wrong, they seem less funny, even hackneyed, when they do. Also, there is too much repetition for a series of 4 on TV. On stage, you get a large helping but time to digest and forget, ready to view the next one with greater anticipation.

The Pilot Show (not the pilot show) is brilliant. Loved it.

I didn’t find this Christmas one very funny thought the rest of the family did. However, saw the bank robbery that went wrong at theatre and really enjoyed it. The sets and special effects were really good.

Thanks AuntieFlo,

Thanks for that info. I must get it on CatchUp.

NanKate, it was on BBC1, on Monday evening at 7.30 pm.
23rd Dec.

What is the name of this series please ? Can’t find it on BBCIPlayer.

The short Christmas play the other night had some funny moments ( yes, the snowman caught in the mangle/ toy machine was definitely a good one) but overall fell short of say, Peter Pan Goes Wrong or others IMHO.
Too short 30 mins perhaps?

The Christmas one was great, it had all of us howling with laughter - my family do a bit of am-dram and could really relate to the mistakes with the wrong props, prompts etc, and the cast generally improvising their way through the disasters . I' m looking forward to further plays in the series.
