I actually think that this is brilliant but you will see that it is ripe for a riff!
I am not one to guffaw loudly even if something is extremely humorous. This did make me laugh out loud several times.
Premise: A community theater attempts to stage the play Peter Pan in front of a live audience as the BBC films it. It quickly becomes obvious that this was not well thought out and most of the characters are completely unsuitable as actors (the actual cast is absolutely brilliant in carrying out this illusion!).
I hate pie-in-the-face bits (don't really recall any here). Some slapstick I really do respect and I tolerate British style Pantomime, which are both expertly executed all through this amazing presentation. A couple of times while laughing I found myself wondering, "how did they do that without killing anyone?" David Suchet ( from Poirot TV series) plays himself acting as the on-stage Narrator...who does get in on the action. I often can anticipate some actions in stories before they occur but what happens in the first 'childrens' flying scene [@ 21:30] took me and the audience completely off guard
