Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller are reunited after five years in this contemporary sketch-show series. The show includes a vista of characters and situations - most notably teen-talk speaking Second World War pilots.

Our Review: We really enjoyed the first series of this comedy - many of the sketches, and the ideas behind them, were well above par. It made for a refreshing change, as 2007 had otherwise been a deluge of distinctly average sketch series.

We were not alone in our enjoyment, the show picked up good ratings (our readers named it the best sketch show of 2007 in our end-of-year poll). It's therefore perhaps not surprising to hear it is coming back for a second series.
