Here's some clips from this new BBC3 sketch show which starts towards the end of the month... http://www.comedy.org.uk/guide/tv/the_wrong_door/videos/

The computer animation must have cost a bomb, and is very impressive in places - but overall I wonder whether a lot of the humour is going to have been pushed aside by the technical trickery. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

I heard a bit about this when I was doing this TVYP thing at Edinburgh.
According to the woman I spoke to, it doesn't cost very much at all. You can see why it wouldn't, you can do that kind of post production stuff wuth one guy and a laptop these days.

I liked the sketch, especially the way it pulled it's punchlines by going for the mundane reactions.

One day I'll update this website... Oh wait, I just did.
 

The new website can do video!

Hmmm, I think the effects were there to compensate for the lack of jokes - those were the best sketches!? I can't believe Matt Berry didn't even make it funny.
 

I saw the date one.

I would be thoroughly embarassed to have written that, and would expect a severe drubbing if I put it on critique.

Oh well plan B mutant baboon army to take over the world.

I hate purity, I hate goodness!I don't want any virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones.

But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.

Just saw a trailer clip for this on BBC3. A restuarant "Death By Chocolate" gag which I would disown my 9 year old daughters for writing.
 

I can't wait to see this, BSGer Phill Barron is on the writing team for this so lets all give it a watch.

I hope the trailer is not representative of the whole. I'm dying to see a sketch show I really like. And congrats to Phil
 

The guy who plays the waiter in that death by chocolate sketch is great.

Can't remember his name though.

I can wait to see it!

I don't hold Phill responsible if it is awful though. Well done on getting another TV credit.

The Wrong Door starts tonight then (10:30pm).

I've now watched the first episode and to be fair to the show, the trailers haven't done it justice. It's not boring like they made it look, it's actually a highly inventive show which held my attention through-out. Whether it's actually funny though is another matter - I was entertained by all the clever ideas and CGI, but I didn't laugh much (I found the 'annoying thing' cute, is that wrong?).

They've clearly spent an absolute packet on the project. Not only is there all that movie-standard CGI in the show, but check out the official website - I think it's the most detailed and high-budget official site for a British comedy that I've ever seen: http://www.bbc.co.uk/wrongdoor/

And congratulations Phill - I've discovered which sketches were yours and, I have to say, getting to write for those actors (well, two of them) is fantastic. I'm a particularly big fan of A.M. (Have you said which sketches are yours yet? I'm not sure if I needed to be cryptic here or not!).

Ooooh, would he be off T.T.O.I.? If so, me too.

Hee. Being (probably) needlessly cryptic is fun.
