Alongside the BAFTA winning serials, the enduring worlds of soap operas, and those cheesy family favourites we can’t quite live without, there will also be the odd addition of the just plain bizarre.
But when it comes to BBC 2’s new period offering, The Bleak Old Shop Of Stuff .... I’m not sure bizarre does it justice .... think Carry On for television - or an evening version of old children’s favourite, ZZAP! (remember Yellow Daisy and her balloon?)
A synopsis could be tricky .... I was never entirely sure what was going on ... but despite my increasing reservations as I grew increasingly confused, I couldn’t help but enjoy myself. The jokes are so blatant in their satire that you really don’t need to understand what on earth was going on in this bizarre world around them ...
Intrigued? If you’ve a spare half an hour, I’d recommend a watch on iPlayer - it’ll certainly be the most random thing you watch this week.
