    Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
    SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
    Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
    Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
    hibbert-94700 Murder in Successville is a brilliantly funny murder mystery series that i enjoyed immensely. Tom Davis plays his part superbly with an air of incompetence and vulnerability and being a very likable character to boot. The celebrities are the spark for the format to work and they deliver genuinely funny performances. The rest of the cast play their parts competently and with huge amounts of vigour and i really liked the pantomime type of delivery for the show. When unexpected moments happen it is hilarious to see the ad-lib between the celebs and Tom as it is scripted to the degree of the story being played out only, leaving plenty of room for comedy. Series 1 was good but series 2 got even better. I really hope this show runs for a long time as each and every episode is entirely different from the last, using clever use of props and locations. It really has the feel of a cityscape and is filmed and edited fantastically. Top marks........
    pmcdeee I'm not a fan of giving these type of celebrities anymore airtime than they deserve, however, I do think this works well. I love the film noir styling, the concept of the show is great, ad lib to a certain degree makes the comedy genuine and you can't help but laugh. It's off the wall approach is fresh a mix of mighty boosh meets sin city... The lead guy (Sleet played by Tommy Davis) is great in his role an obscure giant of a character that keeps the celebs ticking along the process. The celebrity impersonations aren't great but I'm sure it's intentionally rough to keep it edgy. There is also the element of who done it, I know the plots are very random but it's still another element of intrigue and keeps you guessing. I would like to know how informed the celebs actually are, I do hope they are as in the dark as is made out. I'm hooked and hope it continues for a third series.
    The_Critical_Eye This show is all about the concept - putting an unsuspecting TV celeb in the position of solving a murder mystery. Throw in exaggerated character impersonations, a bit of humour, a touch of awkwardness, a bit of improv (this is where it really comes to life), and great end credit songs, and you've got a gem.Rarely do I feel the need to watch something twice when it comes out, but this programme has that affect as it is full of nuances and little bits of information that are good for a second viewing.DI Sleet, the chief (Gordon Ramsay) and Ciarad Lloyd deserve special mention, though the celebs each play their part.It's nice to see something different from the usual panel show/sitcom based comedy. Hopefully there's more to come.
    ianlouisiana "Murder in Successville" is reminiscent of an overlong sketch in a "Footlights" Christmas Panto.You laugh at first because it's quite funny in a clever - clever way,but people showing off their post - modern ironic grasp of current popular media trends can quickly become tiresome then bum - numbingly boring.At that stage I normally look around for the "Exit" signs and pop out for a fag - which is bit desperate because I don't actually smoke. However,last night at home,trapped on the sofa,short of turning the TV off,which would be a bit ungracious because I would have disturbed my sleeping Labrador,I fronted it out and stayed with it to the bitter and not very surprising end. It told me nothing I didn't already know about British comedy where,particularly in "stand up",it has become the norm for the performer to laugh more than the audience. Written by smart - arses for smart - arses just about sums it up.
