Come Fly with Me Audience Reviews

Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Annoid I've read many reviews on either side of the fence and quite thrilled that there are comedies that choose a side.I don't see the show as racist just as the American Show "All in the Family" was not, although there were racist people who did think the "Archie Bunker" character made sense.Yes, we all realize that there are people who think like the characters on Come Fly with Me and people like Archie Bunker, but I for one am laughing "at them" not with them. Too over the top to be taken seriously, but with elements in them to make you laugh at how ridiculous they are.I am not from the U.K. and I had no problem laughing out loud.Loved the documentary style, thought it "brilliant". It's not for everyone but worth a shot to see if it's your "cup of tea". Personally I do use the word brilliant sometimes in life and at time to time I do have cups of tea. I'm Canadian and hoping that myself using these phrases to describe a British comedy isn't seen as making horrible stereotypes or being racist.
Callum Clark Well what can I say, A true example of British Comedy.I have decided to wait until the end of the series to give a true reading of how good or bad the series was (maybe the British Press should have gave it the same slack).What I enjoyed about the series is Lucas and Waliams's no-fear approach to portraying stereotypes, something I believe comedians have been put off doing due to the rise of political correctness in the UK. You have Precious, an African Christian who always finds an excuse to not come into work, Ian Foot, A patriotic immigration who sees every foreigner as a threat and Judith and Peter Surname, a retired couple who always have "A holiday from HELL!". Then there's a spoof of the airline industry itself. Flylo, a low-cost airline owned by Greek etrepuneur Oma baba (a spoof of easyjet and Stelios). Irish airline and Flylo rival, Our lady Air (spoof of Ryanair)and flag carrier Great British Air.I think the series is one of those unique shows, like Little Britain, that makes you go "That is just me/us." It is a side-splitting show that makes fantastic television and great entertainment. It is strong enough to be an adults show yet mild enough for 10 years+. A truly outstanding show. Well done BBC.On Jan 28th, Come fly with me was re-commissioned for a second series. The DVD of the first series is out in March 2011.
Jackson Booth-Millard We wondered whether the stars of Little Britain could come back with something just as good, not necessarily a sketch show, but that was a good option, and they did it. Matt Lucas and David Walliams bring us this mock documentary series set in a fictional airport with various characters working and hanging about in it, basically, taking the mick of programmes like Airport. Characters included foreign FlyLo owner Omar Baba, lazy coffee kiosk manager Precious possibly my favourite character), passenger liaison officer Moses Beacon, chief immigration officer Ian Foot, ground crew member Taaj Manzoor, camp Irish steward Fearghal O'Farrell, holiday makers Peter and Judith, and there were many more besides, all making us laugh with mildly racist material, disgusting stuff, and well written dialogue. Narrated by Lindsay Duncan, with guest appearances by Geri Halliwell, David Schwimmer, Rupert Grint, Barbara Windsor, Anna Friel and many more. I was expecting appearances from characters like Vicky Pollard and Daffyd Thomas, but it doesn't matter, Walliams and Lucas have created a pretty funny follow up from their big successful show, and I certainly wouldn't have missed this. Very good!
blueheart-1 Ashamed to say this but this show is probably only really funny if you've seen the 'fly on the wall' shows that they parody. The characters are pitch perfect send-ups of the hapless 'stars' of the airport based programs. Less cruel than Little Britain, like many character based comedies, such as The Fast Show, this just gets funnier and funnier. David Walliams and Matt Lucas are top notch comedy actors, in some ways much too good for such light entertainment as this. Thank goodness they've dropped the catch phrases!The format probably won't last for more than a series but enjoy it will its here.
