The Goes Wrong Show: Series 2

I was disappointed with this series. It opened strongly but the laughs were as rushed as the end of the first episode. It was great to escalate the off-screen tension between Chris and Robert but it all became too child-like to watch in “The Most Lamentable”. Here, there’s so much that could have gone wrong but didn’t. The antics returned to better form in the prison break play even though the script was weak and was probably something that you’d expect to see in a TV movie. But a showcase of characters in the final two episodes were awful and lacked many opportunities for disaster to occur. The fairy ballet seemed to work but the rest was a waste of screentime; especially the one-man circus which went on for far too long. It would have been more fun if the characters had tried to squeeze these performances in between full episodes. There were so many sets that could have been produced but weren’t. The original formula worked well but in this series they needed better stunts to make it work as the gags were too predictable.
