Featured review
Funny and somewhat moving.
Jerry hosts a comedy open mic evening, Max and Paddy host a robot wars event.
Dave Spikey is just so incredibly good here, he provides several laughs, but he's also able to add a bit of depth to the character too, is he a hypochondriac, or is he perhaps suffering a bit of illness?
Robot Wars would have been incredibly popular at the time, not a show I ever got into, but I get the appeal, and I'm sure this would bring back memories for some.
Two super funny scenes here, first of all, and best of all, the elderly couple dancing at the end, I have to repeat it, it's a joyous scene, and the best of the closing acts, second of all, Jerry receiving his rectal examination, super funny.
8/10.
