Not as good as Travels With My Father, but provides some laughs anyway
22 December 2019
Well, it made me and my family laugh numerous times. Not every joke succeeded though and I found some parts tedious and unfunny; but it kept moving at a decent pace.

Not as good as "Travels With My Father" but part of me enjoyed it. This will be as close to getting in the Christmas spirit as I'll get this year. Father Whitehall provides the vast majority of laughs in the TV series and this show.

It seemed a bit disjointed at times with the "Queer Eye" elements. 'The King's Speech' managed to succeed in being the most offensive thing I've seen in a while. Also somehow inspired me to watch "The Nightingale" soon, about a convict in Australia who seeks revenge on her English oppressors.

The best bit was Hugh Bonneville reading 'The Grouch'. Thought Jack was trying to be some lame imitation of James Corden in the musical finale. Fans will either love or hate this. As for me, I was somewhere in the middle.
