Suspend your disbelief and relish in the brilliance :o

It does straddle the line between comedy and horror - the writers are massive horro buff. Sometimes I found it funny - the performances are great, but it is a little too unsettling for me

WandaDoff · 24/08/2012 18:48

lottiegarbanzo · 24/08/2012 18:51

That's sort of the point. It's humour is in the menace and bizarreness.

FalseStartered · 24/08/2012 18:51

it's not 'funny' as in roll about belling laughing but it is rather fabulous and amusing in the most macabre way

whathasthecatdonenow · 24/08/2012 18:51

If you've ever been to the town of Bacup, it is exactly like a League of Gentlemen episode.

balderdashed · 24/08/2012 18:54

Too grotesque by far for me and therefore not palatable and I could never consider it as humourous!

FasterHigherBeardierDaddyman · 24/08/2012 18:54

Every time I go to the butchers I worry about the 'special stuff'

whathasthecatdonenow · 24/08/2012 18:58

There is a certain departmental staffroom in our school that no-one likes to venture into to speak to staff because it is 'a local staffroom, for local people'.
