Dog Face (2007– )
6/10
So So...

To be quite honest I only gave this a shot because of the name. Unfortunately Google image searching 'dog face' is invariably funnier than any of the actual dog based jokes after which the programme is named. This one appears to be of a dog balancing a sausage on its nose for instance. Sounds like the longest and most failure ridden photo shoot in the world to me...

Anyway, Matt King's character of Super Hans in Peep Show always annoyed me a little bit. However his over-the-top uncouthness offset the other characters very well and the series would not have been the same without him. This show is like that but without the other characters to balance it out.

I cannot stand 'laddish' humour which is invariably just about tits and football... so I am a tad bias anyway and hence every single one of the sketches with dogs sat around in a pub failed entirely for me. That said there were some good moments and some jokes which worked very well. It is a shame I found so much of the content infuriating beyond belief because there were some genuine gems scattered throughout.

It could make for a decent half hour, if someone compiled all the episodes into one. Only minus all the dogs and any sketches with a character whose grasp of the English language was akin to a copy of the Oxford English dictionary being throw out of a lavatory window...

As I said... bias.
