Saxondale very funny

Steve Coogan's new character comedy about an ex-roadie who runs a pest control firm certainly hit the mark with us. The depth to the folks who pepper this peep into suburbia make them so real you feel after only episode one that you know these people and what they do. From quoting the movie 'Zulu' to his endless name-dropping this was a person who seemed familiar in a weird sort of way. Full of cultural references and witticisms you had to stifle your laughter to hear the next line. The thick idiots who like Little Britain aren't going to like it as it is not repetitive enough but if you have a brain, you'll love Saxondale. (I admit to liking LB on its first series but got bored very quickly). Guardian review link
