Why do so many people dislike this?

There are a lot of people on here saying it's not funny etc.

Come on, what do you expect? It's middle of the road middlebrow peak time comedy meant to appeal to a wide demographic, with silly voices, childish humour. stereotypes etc. It pokes gentle, silly fun at situations and characters that we're all familiar with.

It's far better than most of the woeful 'comedy' that most tv channels dredge up, with thinly disguised left-wing propaganda from the likes of Marcus Brigstocke.

It's not meant, or trying to be some kind of groundbreaking comedy revolution!

It's basically just Dick Emery for the 21st century, and I say 'Hello HonkyTonks how are you! to that!

I agree Hugh! I love it, love the repetitious jokes, the gay and 'ethnic' caricatures, the ageism, fatism, sexism... Bring it on.

watching comedians clawing back comedy from the hounds that think Political correctness is helping Britain puts a big smile on my face. if you don't like it say so, if you like it say so. But don't say they can't do it.

I agree Op, i think it's very funny and hilarious a lot of the time. Nearly all of the characters are funny though I think Precious, Moses, Taj and the two pilots are the funniest. Plus they don't always have the same characters on every week, so it always keep it fresh for when they return. The new characters they introduce are good additions as well, like the burger bar guy and the two luggage handlers.

The jokes don't even come close to the horrid repetitiveness that was Little Britain. A lot of people don't seem to agree, but this show has much funnier scenes.

I don't understand how people can berate this for being "rubbish" and then compare it to how "brilliant" Little Britain was? I hated Little Britain, but I like this because I recognise it as being accurate from airport documentaries and it doesn't go too far to be ridiculous like Little Britain.

It's beyond me how people think this whole show is unfunny. There's not much decent comedy around at the best of times but you could not sit through an episode without cracking a smile somewhere along the line, what's wrong with these wowsers.

This was a brilliant show. Absolutely riotously funny.
There are few tv shows that can get me to actually laugh out loud, and this one succeeded regularly.
The actors/creative team can be proud of their work, even if they don't ever do something like it again.
