4.0 out of 5 stars A sketch show about you, 17 April 2007

There's a very noticeable lack of traditional comedy characteristics in this sketch show. There are very few silly accents or costumes (most of the time, anyway). There's no studio audience. It all seems a bit muted and vague, rather more like a naturalistic, Book Group/Smoking Room style sitcom than a typical sketch show. Some instances feel like they're coming straight out of real life. That's my life and your life, right up there on the telly. With good jokes.

It's all a good little package, though. The sketches range from slightly odd character sketches, to the always-funny running joke (which is, in my opinion, what they do best) and even to rare moments of full-blown surrealism, and the standard is generally very high. The cast are all very funny for different reasons, and they compliment each others' performances surprisingly well. I'm particularly fond of Meredith MacNeill, who somehow manages to invest something uniquely funny into every character she plays.

Series highlights include: a trip to the lama sanctuary to pick up girls; a break-up attempt which falls on very deaf ears; a guy trying to bluff his way out of using a condom ("my balls are connected to a satellite, if I put rubber on 'em, it'll muffle the signal); the rather unproffesional make-up girls; experimental emergency surgery on a dying woman; and of course, what happened to little baby Josh when daddy took him to feed the ducks. It's worth watching just for that last one.

5.0 out of 5 stars No laught track or studio audience!, 1 Mar 2007
By Olivia Blair "climatic_fanatic" (Aberfeldy) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Man Stroke Woman is a comedy sketch show directed by Richard Cantor and produced by Ash Atalla (office) and starring Amanda Abbington, Ben Crompton, Daisy Haggard, Meredith MacNeill, Nicholas Burns and Nick Frost. As well as being broadcast on digital channel BBC Three, all the episodes were available for streaming from the BBC website. Series 2 started in January 2007 and are also available for streaming from the BBC website.

Unusually there is no studio audience or laugh track 9and that feels weird at times). However this show is not the first sketch comedy show with no studio audience/laugh track, that being Rutland Weekend Television.

The show describes itself as 'a show about your girlfriend, your boyfriend, your kids and the girl you fancy in the accounts department'. and that about sums it up. It did not get huge acclaim here in the UK but that is no real indication. make your own mind up.

5.0 out of 5 stars When will this be released?, 22 Aug 2006
By Amelies Gnome (California, United States) - See all my reviews
I thought that this was going to be released in June of this year, but that was put off. Please put this out on DVD soon. It would be fantastic to have this by the end of September.
