3 out of 5 stars Not bad, nothing special. .......2006-07-25

I bought this expecting it to be side-splittingly funny. The general premise is good. The execution is not bad, but the plots are a little predictable, and it comes across as a teatime children's cartoon that is most probably for adults.

Ruby Wax truly is obnoxious in this, but the constant screaming wears thin, and she (as the Pope) looks very much a Japanese cartoon character. Father Nicholas looks fine (apart from his trainers), and Sister Marie is entirely lovely, if not ripped off from Mrs Doyle (there are a few 'tea' moments reminiscent of Father Ted).

Overall, not offensive, not overly funny, but it isn't as bad as you'd expect.

1 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2006-04-15

One or two moments to make you smile, but no laugh-out-loud stuff. Not edgy, not controversial, not offensive. I think they didn't show it on television simply because it's not very good. If you want good adult cartoon humour stick with the genuinely subversive and funny Family Guy or South Park.

4 out of 5 stars A little hit-and-miss.......2005-11-08

Okay, admittedly I have only watched the first five episodes so far, but while it has been very enjoyable, it hasn't quite lived up to the hype given to it by the other reviews. It had many great moments in it, but overall does seem very disjointed. A couple of the episodes had two separate plots that failed to link up at all, and the writers do seem to be a little uncertain as to how to end the episodes, most of which end quite abruptly.

Despite those few niggles, I am thoroughly enjoying the series, and don't regret buying it.

5 out of 5 stars Great British comedy!.......2005-10-17

This series is outrageous and features Mat Lucas at his finest! It is refreshing to finally see such great British comedy that had been banned for so long. Popetown was hilarious and is a must-see for anyone that has enjoyed the work of The Office star and writer Mackenzie Crook.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant!.......2005-10-17

Got this the other day and watched most of it already! Its a brilliant series with a fantastic cast. Disappointing the the BBC didn't show it!
