So I have to say I love spoof documentaries & when they're done well they're brilliant
We have a history of making good ones in the UK , The office being a great case in point & the American version actually was better in some ways & ran for 9 seasons .
Then there's the wedding ones like Confetti & Wedding video which were both great .
And from the other side of the pond there's best in show which was excellent
And the king of kings playing to an audience on both sides is Spinal Tap & it's comic strip copycat The bad news tour.
And Borat & all his other characters deserves a mention & the brilliant Rutles all you need is cash.
And finally Mike Bassett England manager
All were great sadly Swede Caroline wasn't . It a few laughs & a great musical score including the original version by the poet John Cooper Clarke of the Artic Monkeys I wanna be yours
But it failed on the whole for what it ought have been and that was funny
It had some comedy , Richard Lumsden stood out for comedy as Paul & Celyn Jones as Willy was the stand out actor , though Jo Hartley put in great performance as Caroline
It was ok , it just wasn't great , watch BEST IN SHOW and you'll see what I mean & I had hoped it would be as good
You might enjoy it more than me , for me it never really got in to top gear but the second half was better than the first as soon as they got to Willy's mother's house it went up a gear
Average
Pad. A 5/10.
