A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is on tonight

[iklboo]

7:10pm on BBC1 if you enjoyed last year's Peter Pan Goes Wrong or have seen The Play That Goes Wrong.

Derek Jacobi and Dame Diana Rigg are in it.

I’m looking forward to it!

Looking forward to it here too.

Would also recommend the theatre productions if you haven't already seen them, Comedy About A Bank Robbery is hilarious.

Thank you for posting this :-)

Can't wait ! I still have a recording of last years Peter Pan which I never get bored of watching.

just checks that set to record!

just checks that set to record!

We have the Peter Pan still recorded from last year... DD watches it at least once a week! We are going to the theatre to see the original Play that Goes Wrong in January as a surprise for her. Looking for ward to this one....

Just watching now. It's not great is it?
We've seen all their stuff at the theatre plus last years tv version - this is very poor compared..

DH is laughing his head off but I'm not tickled at all. Gimme the Muppets version instead!

Tbh if I saw this first I wouldn't go and see their other stuff. It's very unfunny.

Ooh seen this alert too late. How long till it goes on iplayer, you reckon?

Ah that was a disapointment. Had been looking forward to it. Think they should have stuck to a theatre style production.

6 of us have just watched this.

The only one that liked it was 13 yo DS. The rest of us (ages 18 - 70+) thought it ranged from meh to crap.

It was ok but not as funny as Peter Pan. Some nice bits in it.

I'd paused it while putting the DC to bed.

Getting ready to watch it and DH switches the fucking darts on

I'd not recorded it as we are at the ILs instead of at home.

not very good

I was disappointed. Turned it off

Oh I almost fell off the sofa in fits of laughter! A sort of noises off by way of Morecambe and wise.

We switched over half way through - painfully unfunny.

No where near as funny as the Peter Pan one....

What's the expression? Jumping the shark?

I thought some little sections were quite funny, but that many elements were too repetitious - such as the lines being written down and read, and the last ghost banging his head over and over.

Last year’s production was hilarious, but I thought this one was a complete let down. I turned it over about 15 minutes from the end, as I just couldn’t be bothered with it.

Watched on iPlayer......... it was ok , some good visual bits like where the green screen fails and the video /party.

The stage show (PTGW) is really good . Bank Robbery good but TPTGW was better.
Loved Peter Pan last year too.

We went to see Movie Mischief earlier this month, one of the cast fell and ended up being taken to A&E , they had to call a halt (we were offered rebook or wait till the later show but I don't know if there were seats? )
Everyone thought it was part of the show, it took a while to twig

Really disappointing. We loved Peter pan last year and went and saw the play that goes wrong which was hilarious but I didn't think was funny. Some bits were but not up to their usual standard.

Too much repetition which didn't transfer:

Overhearing insults
Not knowing words
Replacing actors

Etc
