Review of Hunderby

Hunderby (2012–2015)
9/10
Endlessly funny
14 September 2022
Quotably funny, great production values in this lampoon of English village life during peak empire. Brit costume comedy has sometimes been under the spell of Python, but Hunderby is very much its own show, marking out fresh terrain with really accomplished comic performances and writing and direction. Conceits such as 'Bird Raymond' and 'Bubbly Milk' stay with you. The second series is darker, and the tonal shift may appeal more to some than others. Further series would be very welcome and, now that it is some years down the track, there would a new audience to add to the many current fans of the show. The UK continues to produce innovative or thoughtful comedy (Episodes, Fleabag, Defending the Guilty) and Hunderby is an instant classic. The trailer includes some great tasters of the very funny performances, and the Vicar's dance shows the fine comic control the creative team brings to this show.
