Customer Reviews

Not at all bleak expectations quite nicely fulfilled..!
This second series of Bleak Expectations is at least as funny as the first - which was brilliant. If you like your Dickensian parodies, and particularly if you like them by turns silly, witty, sly, ever-so-slightly naughty and plain old daft, then you'll love this. Buy it today and give your ears a comedy treat!

Not Bleak but 'Great'
Didn't know what to expect with this but very funny and witty. Uses Dickensian references but not so you would not find it funny anyway. It is ludicrous and clever at the same time. Tom Allen is a real find. if you like 'Old Harry's game', Just a Minute, Have I got News For You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks - you will enjoy this madness
