The Wrong Door


Short description

I find this show one of the funniest sketch show of the past years, but it’s not for everyone. It’s set in a surreal parallel. In this world, superheroes, wizards and dinosaurs are commonplace in the daily merry-go-round of car chases, explosions and disasters. Just hilarious. It has only 6 episodes.

Review

The Wrong Door is a Brittish comedy sketch show from 2008. It’s set in a surreal parallel universe where film and TV special effects are part of everyday life. In this world, superheroes, wizards and dinosaurs are commonplace in the daily merry-go-round of car chases, explosions and disasters.
As with many sketch shows, this show has a number of recurring characters and sketches throughout every episode. Here are 2 of them:
-Philip and Melanie
Melanie has boyfriend trouble. Philip is rather insensitive and many of her friends and family think he's "a wanker". He left his previous employment at Nottingham Trent University due to a number of anger management issues. He has a curious habit of tearing people to pieces, being, as he is, a large carnivorous dinosaur.
-Superhero Tryouts
A parody of the popular talent show genre of television, Superhero Tryouts is a fictional television show looking for the next popular superhero. Hosted by Captain Justice, Lady Libido and Doctor Fox.
