One can only wonder how this show came about. Was the B.B.C.'s Head Of Comedy so stung by complaints of the 'today's comedies are not as funny as the old ones' type that he commissioned a show intended to prove the opposite?
'Revolver' had a great cast, but alas didn't provide them with decent material. Many of the sketches look like offcuts from 'Big Train'. To give an example: Roy Barraclough looks out of a window and sees a nude man bouncing on a trampoline in his garden. Enraged, he tells his wife to phone the police while he goes out to have a word with the man. No sooner has his wife got through to the police than she hears giggling. Looking out of the window, she sees her husband - also naked - is with the man on the trampoline. Now this would have worked for Mark Heap, but not Roy Barraclough.
The final result was a strange combination of the best of yesterday's comedy combined with the worst of today's. Don't blame the cast - the scriptwriters should have been shot with a revolver!
