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

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!

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'.
