Original Review:

Show Rating:The Saddam Brothers rated 1/5

The blurb for this show compared to The Saddam Brothers to Morecambe and Wise - and it wasn't kidding. This was copied straight from the Eric And Ernie textbook, even down to the bed-sharing routine.

And the targets were far from topical: Tom & Nicole, Princess Di as Bridget Jones, The Proclaimers and so on.

At one point a 'special guest' was introduced Tilly Gregory, who broke up the sketches with a funny enough stand-up routine, but there was a distinct air of confusion as to why she was there.

The show was reasonably well executed but the material was very dated, with a definite 1980s Seaside Special feeling.
