Bellamy’s People

I think I might call it The slow show. I’ve got a few of the Down The Line CD’s and I never found that radio talk show spoof that funny really, but checked it out because I’m a fan of the cast, 3 or 4 of the main fast show dudes, and few more comedy people like Amelia Bullmore, Julia Davis, Felix Dexter etc. But there is only about 2 episodes that hold together as anything more than over reliant on character improvisation.

Just seen an episode of The TV version which is a suitable enough change of setting to satirise celebrity meets the british public and their attitudes style documentary, but a collection of cross sectioned britain is just like what little britian did when it copied the fast show & Enfield anyways and this time it’s maybe it’s aiming for subtle but It’s mostly flat, it’s well enough made programme, and performances, but yeah too slow to be considered comedy by me. It’s funny material that’s needed to make something like this work, and only a couple times did comedic ideas actually apear alongside the characters.
