2DTV

2dtv is a series of episodes that don't really catch on they aren't particularly great but do have there little highlights but to be honest you probably would be better off watching something like family guy or south park. The show relates to taking the Mic out of celebrities and well known people witch is sometimes done quite well but in sometimes it is a bit childish watch this if you are really bored and don't really have anything else to do but there are numerous over series to watch that are way more funny. over all i rate is 3 out of to for its slight comical humour.and its unique way of noticing key things that celebrities have or do but it isn't very funny with is a downfall.

I believe I was once a fan of this.

The newest series has been the worst thing I have ever seen. The jokes are extremely poor, they've got rid of the Dead Ringers team and that music played in the background to each animation is embarrassing. Somebody in the production team obviously thought that a low trombone note would increase the hilarity of each animation's 'punchline' no end. They were wrong, very wrong.

The animation is extremely poor, considering the gaps in between the series you would expect some new animating techniques but no, it's the same old animation, same old art.

If you want animated satire then just look at what the BBC has to offer. The excitingly diverse Monkey Dust is being aired on BBC2 on Mondays at 10pm. If Monkey Dust is the Bremner Bird and Fortune of animation, then 2DTV is the Alistair McGowan.

This show is a must see! It's a satirical review of the week's news and has a great cast of characters, including George Bush and his best friend, a sock puppet; the Beckhams; the Blairs and big John Prescott and many more. Animation's great, voices great, show - GREAT!

~Note this is only based on the best-of DVD~ I often put aside DVDs for later viewing, and I wasn't in any hurry to watch this particular one anyway - if anything, it was a pity-buying as it had been sitting at the start of the shelf of CeX's 50p section for a month by the time - and I've probably had it for two months since, but I finally got around to watching it. Now, I had mixed feelings going into this - I love Spitting Image with all my heart and while this was another of the very niche selection of satire sketch shows the designs and apparent crudeness really put me off. However, watching it, I can say these are remarkably good. Yes, the show is much cruder than Spitting Image ever was but the sheer absurdity of most of the satires made this feel welcome perfectly. Furthermore the voice talent, as is expected, is brilliant, and even the animation grows on you after a while. If you're more interested in just having a laugh at the 2000s celebrities than having jokes based on current affairs, then this is your show, but the more political-oriented viewers would much prefer Spitting Image. 8/10, highly entertaining.

2DTV. This, and the Champions League were probably the only reasons why I wasted any time watching ITV.

Funny dialogue, a warped sense of humour and the ability of the 2DTV team to knock these episodes out the same day as major events unfolded is the reason why I made the effort to watch it.

Nothing, it seemed was out of bounds: The US, Iraq War, the British Government, the royal family, The Osbournes, Harry Potter, football, soaps, reality TV, celebrities, Al Qaeda, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict... Basically anything that hit the headlines, made it into the show and to hilarious effect.

Although the episodes tended to be only 15 minutes long (and as such, could be easily lost amongst the dreary reality shows ITV usually churned out at 10pm), there was usually never a moment when the show lost it's pace.

The animation was more functional rather than polished, and some of the voices were sometimes off the mark, but neither of these things really detracted from the script itself. The political bias may put some people off, but it's worth persevering even if it's only to see the celebrity gags.

Certainly one to rent/buy on DVD.
