It is no secret that I am a fan of English comedies - I have reviewed enough of them for regular readers on KIWIreviews to know I have a natural bias towards English comedies and yet one more onto my review pile is never a chore and every time a pleasure.

The Worst Week of my Life was not one I had seen much before. I think out of the total series I had only ever seen one episode previously, but they were either on at an odd time or I forgot what time it was on or simply just missed them. So to have the pleasure of reviewing this, well, it was a pleasure.

Unlike many comedy series, it is sans canned laughter track to remind you when to laugh, and yet the situational humour inherent in each episode is enough to have you laughing loudly. Some would perhaps describe this as slapstick, but if it is slapstick, it is intelligent slapstick - not American style.

Having said that, there is plenty typical English word-play to enhance the whole effect.

The actors are excellent and they play their parts well, Alison Steadman and Geoffrey Whitehead play the parts of the scary in-laws to Howard Steel (played by Ben Miller) that they so remind me of meeting my in-laws (though I do have to say that my in-laws are not frightening); but as anyone who has had to meet their partner's parents they will know how uneasy things can be initially. In the case of "The Worst Week of my Life" this nervous fear of the in-laws and Murphy's law is played out to excellent effect.

The show is highly funny, and there are some real belly laughs to be had. Laughing out loud is guaranteed (my wife and daughter certainly did). With Christmas coming up, this is a highly recommended addition to a loved-one's Christmas stocking.

Product reviews for listing 6197: Bananas in Pyjamas: Morgan the Magnificent -  Type of Show: Children's television

Product image for Bananas in Pyjamas: Morgan the MagnificentB1 & B2 try to help Morgan achieve his dream of becoming a magician, however the Bananas ideas turn out to be not very helpful at all!

In other episodes, the Bananas think they've found the egg of a real live dragon, Rat talks the Bananas into searching for the long, lost "Big Cheese", and the Bananas get more than they bargained for when they babysit some ducklings.
