Patchwork Travesty
A bizarre and bewildering sketch show from Victor Hampson, featuring trainspotting flowers, cookery tips from an aggressive cockney, ingenious life hacks told as modern day parables, the manliest superhero in the world, incredibly frustrating AI assistants, and various other comedic ideas that are harder to summarise succinctly. Mixing animation, CGI and live-action, this is a finger buffet for the eyes and, with a soundtrack including a drum 'n' bass song about cabbages and some disturbing gnome-based electronica, the ears are doing alright out of this deal too. The series is unlikely to appeal to any other body parts.
