Before doing that...Let´s FOCUS on the Title's Content & Context
...This is one TV personality You REALLY DON'T want to rub the wrong way! When she has a run-in with someone...ANYONE... She is OBSESSED with coming out ON TOP!
OK...NOW Let's talk about that character assassination most "Vyle"! It's fair to say that we Americans fall into 2 categories: Those who don't particularly care for British humor; and those whose appetite for it is simply insatiable! Would you care to venture a guess as to where I fit in?
YES!, from the country that gave us "Monty Python's Flying Circus" and "Benny Hill", we present a veritable panacea for that pandemic feeling Americans have been grumbling about in a chorus that has grown constantly more vociferous in recent years: "American comedies just don't seem to be that funny anymore!"...Unless you find chronic flatulence amusing, because a kind of "I never met a fart joke I didn't like!" mentality, more often than not, prevails here in the USA! Mr. And Mrs. John Q. Public, we proudly present, Ms. Vivienne Vyle! You'll love her one minute, loathe her the next!
She's one TV talk-show host who can instantly discern crass, exploitative, manipulative, ratings-driven interview situations from serious, balanced, well-grounded, give and take, the-truth-must-be served interviews!... And she never flinches an instant...in taking the cheap shot!... Going for the jugular! 6 episodes of 29 minutes each (Unlike their American counterparts, here the half hour shows are just that! Sure beats 23 minute ones!) Usually I can't countenance the little explanative blurbs associated with each title, because they're so far from the truth. In this case, it's rather spot on! The "humour" (British spelling, mind you!) is so wretchedly invective, so perfunctorily twisted! The interaction between Jennifer Saunders and Miranda Richardson is fiendishly inspired! 8.5********
ENJOY! / DISFRUTELA!
