Don't expect side splitting comedy, be aware it's very British Humour, so much of the looks will be lost on those unaware.
The fact the mongoose is called Gef (Geoff) for instance gets +1 rating instantly, cause any animals called Geoff is obviously a winner.
Acting is first class throughout - what a cast! Lovely to see Tim Downie in anything, but look at all the rest of the cast: what a cast! And you can tell they had a lovely time filming it.
Pegg gets to put a performance in instead of Spaced/Cornetto, and it's marvellous.
The micro-expressions/looks and mugging are very well observed to how the British are. Captures small island Britain brilliantly... and that people are possibly just having a bit of a laugh.
The direction and DOP needs a mention, it understands what the story is and doesn't overplay it with weird angles. Gary the Dog did a tremendous job I have to say.
And just a call out for the OST, which is rather lovely indeed.
