Julian checks out the DVD release of La La Land.
But does he like what he finds?
Marc Wootton first came to prominence in Channel 4s reality sitcomMy New Best Friend.
The contestants chosen were far from innocent parties.
The problem with Woottons subsequent work, however, is his choice of targets.
Take 2005sHigh Spirits With Shirley Ghostman.
These people were already disbelievers and, as such, had no agenda to uncover and nothing to lose.
Why waste such obvious potential for something so utterly pointless and trivial?
Unfortunately,La La Landis more of the same.
Regrettably, Wootton has nothing new to add, other than to relentlessly play the idiot.
Which, after the first episode, is an act that grows increasingly tiresome.
Equally, as withHigh Spirits, Wootton chooses all the wrong targets.
None of these are particularly humorous, and their exclusion is completely understandable.
The final feature is a slightly longer version of Garrys show reel.
In conclusion, an average haul for a below average series.
