There is sit-com comedy...
...and then, once in a while, something comes along which is so
utterly, completely different to anything which you've seen before it
is strange, compelling and funny beyond belief.
Green Wing is not to everyone's taste - that much is obvious.
However...
The first episode was an hour long - I thought this would be a
scene-setting pilot. Not so. Every episode is one hour long, and the
comedy is rich and consistent throughout.
The characters are very well observed...
The incidental music is superb...
The post-production is excellent...
Speaking of which, the techniques of speed-up-slow-down have been
criticized in some quarters... They only serve to work the comedy to
its fullest. This is a technique which may be used again in other
comedy programs, but was used first (and to incredible comedy effect)
on Green Wing.
Utterly unmissable. Comedy of the highest, ground-breaking order.
Fabulous cast, impeccable writing, superb production.
There is nothing - nothing - to match Green Wing.
