DVD Description

From the people who brought you the Sony Award-winning radio series The Ape That Got Lucky and comedy producer Armando Iannucci comes Lab Rats, a big, joyful nonsense of a sitcom, starring Chris Addison (The Thick of It, In The Loop).

Dr. Alex Beenyman (Addison) is the last sane man in the Arnolfini Research Laboratory, and he’d be really, really good at his job if it wasn’t for the dypsomaniac professor (Geoffrey McGivern). And the giant snails. And his space cadet best friend (Josephine Enright). And the egg-hurling protestors. Oh, and the borderline psychopathic lab technician (Dan Tetsell). And the indoor blizzards. And his unfathomable, dutch boss (Selina Cadell), come to that. And the man in the pink mohair jumper and purple leggings in suspended animation in the back room. And the mardy secretary (Helen Moon). And, of course, the fact that he’s really, really not very good at his job.

“Hilarious - like The Goodies at its best” --Harry Hill

4.0 out of 5 stars Silly, but cratfed and clever, 19 Aug 2009
I didn't really know of Chris Addison before this series, but I was intrigued by the trailers.

I'm glad I watched... and I've been waiting for the DVD ever since (already ordered!).

As I have said in he title, Lab Rats is a bit silly, sometimes a bit obvious - but no worse for it - but often deceptively clever.

Selina Cadell's Dean grows on you... it's one of those odd things that actually get funnier the more you persevere... and all the characters are caricatures.

Accept this and you will derive even more from the gags.

And there are gags... some visual, some vocal, as well as crafted silliness that in at least on episdoe takes the entire half hour to create... I'll just say trapeze.

My favourite visual gag concerns the retinal scanner... and I'll say no more than that also.

I only don't give this five stars because I don't think this will be everyones cup of tea... but if you like your silliness... go for it!!!
