    2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
    GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
    Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

    Stephen T This concept has so much potential but it is squandered with uncharismatic leads with characters you barely care about. Despite the fantasy setting the bulk of the stories revolve around scams, the main character wanting to get home and the patheticness of the characters. The few interesting characters are an occasional side character who appears for an episode at most. Very skippable.
    bubblet-29467 Came across this show because watching Dave one day. This is truly wonderful and deserves a real following. Paul Kaye and James Buckley are brilliant together. It's like a mix of Red Dwarf and Terry Pratchett. Paul Kaye is my favourite character so far playing the slightly useless but eccentric wizard Howell followed closely by Sharon Rooney's Soothsayer Barbara. I fell in at the first episode of the second series and immediately knew I had found something great. Went back and watch the first series. It's hilarious from the start. It's an easy going, well rounded comedy, following a wonderfully kooky fantasy story with 6 foot burly fairies and a plethora of other creatures. A definite must watch for a lazy night in.
    kevinblackburn-04429 Brilliantly original sci-fi comedy, with a clever plot / story line, and well chosen actors. The 'Wrong Mans' meets 'Red Dwarf'. Only 3 episodes so far, and not a dull moment, with original jokes and situations. The writers really do have great minds, and obviously pretty wacky ones at that.Really hoping there is another series. If you liked either of the two programmes mentioned above, of if you are a Terry Pratchett fan, then this comedy is for you. Imagine a world parallel to ours, which doesn't function at all well, and into which a modern, rather boring office worker from today is then flung. The characters are all funny extremes and very well played.
    ben kibby A must to watch, very good actors, very funny, unique and most of all a proper story line...Biggest problem was it was not advertised and I only came across it by accident. Its a series that keeps you interested and wanting more and more. Brian main character puts on a bracelet then is zapped into a magical world set in medieval times with wizards and sorceresses etc...Unfortunately the fairies one of which is played by Ricky Grover monitor all magical events and end up confiscating his bracelet on arrival. He later finds out its his one way back home and ends up trying anything to get it back...Found most likable character was 'Howell' played by Paul Kaye as a wizard another well know face that turns up later as a fire spirit is played by Steve Coogan....In all can say it is one of the best things i've seen on TV for some time and can only hope for more.
