The Wrong Door is a sketch show set in a parallel universe; a fantastic world governed by the laws of comedy - not nature - and where special effects seen in the movies and on TV are part of everyday life.

In this parallel universe, herds of space hoppers and shopping trolleys roam the countryside; robots play tennis; mini-bars come with a helpful mini-barman; magazines come with a free, blow-up boyfriend; and mp3 players generate 3-D popstar holograms and monsters under the bed.

Viewers are introduced to the Booze Fairies, the Wizard of Oswestry, the World's Most Annoying Creature and a love-struck dinosaur called Phillip, amongst others. Here, superheroes, wizards, dinosaurs and monsters casually go about their business amongst the daily irritations of explosions, disasters, battles, chases and driving lessons.

With its genre-busting mix of celebrity cameos, unimaginable locations and impossible visual effects, The Wrong Door is billed as opening a brave new world of comic possibility.

Our Review: We hate to think how much this show cost the BBC - despite the fact The Wrong Door was only on a digital channel, it had Hollywood quality CGI effects and the cast list was just massive.

Unfortunately sometimes the desire to be visually clever meant the creators forgot to be funny (e.g. Matt Berry's snooker cameo scenes - where was the joke?). That said, there were moments of mirth - but, notably, these often actually came from the sketches with little-to-no CGI involved.

Overall, whilst not necessarily great in the 'making people laugh' department, The Wrong Door was certainly a treat on the eye and managed to hold one's attention. It also did an admirable job of giving many aspiring comedy actors and writers their first CV credit.
