    Don't bother

    An interesting idea lumbered with a cast without the talent to pull it off. It may have worked if it had been played a little straighter but, as it is, it flies wide of the mark.

    oh dear the less said about this the better. The IT Crowd and the Mighty Boosh are surreal and hilarious, but this is just utter in-joke rubbish for geeky 80s throwbacks. I know it's a spoof, but you can't make a whole series that is this self-conscious.
