Don't think this has made it's way over there yet, but hope it does, and only started here last night. Think Red Dwarf with swords...has Matt Lucas (Little Britain) in it which spoilt it a bit for me cos I can't stand him but otherwise was very funny so I'll stick with it for a bit longer. Oh boy is Sean Maguire all growed up now after his days on Eastenders

Here's a couple of short clips to give you an idea of the sort of humour...probably not a show for young kids though...

Maybe its just me, but I've tried Little Britain a number of times and just don't find it that funny. Some sketches have given a chuckle, but long, flat parts most times I've watched - and I far prefer English comedy to nearly any other genre (eg. Fawlty Towers)

Nah, not just you. I never liked Little Britain so I almost didn't watch Krod but quite glad I did cos I think the other characters will make up for Lucas being in it. According to the tv listings this will be much more like Red Dwarf. Especially liked the way they use modern officespeak with phrases like 'micro-managing the situation' etc.

I believe when this was shown in America people complained that there was a very camp gay character. I reckon pagan's here might be up in arms now with Krod's girlfriend being a very, very slutty nymphomaniac pagan but it did make for some very funny dialogue between the two of them.
