It's got a certain novelty value seeing how outragous they can make the characters, but I think the jokes might wear a little thin after a few weeks. It all depends how inventive they can make the scripts.

It has a bit of a feel of the old Spitting Image royal family portrayals but we were only given that in sketch-sized doses, so it kept its edge.

I'm not finding this funny, maybe I was expecting too much.

Finding it more miss than hit, only funny bit so far is Euginie and Beatrice being radicalised by a man so rich he has Sky Movies and Sky Sports

I only caught the last half of the second show, but what I saw was wonderful. It wasn't trying to be bitingly satirical, or achingly right-on; it was just very silly and almost innocent. It reminded me of childrens' comedy shows when I were a lad, there was no message and no "edge". What a refreshing change.

Very funny script but the delivery was a bit hit and miss. I laughed out loud at some parts and cringed at others.

Kate getting Ebola but still travelling up north wearing a mask was quite funny. The references to her gypsy heritage is funny also. Haydn Gwynne is very funny as Camilla.

Apparently half a million turned off after the first ep. Doesn't bode well.

I've just watched both episodes. Thought it was very funny in places. Agree with those of you who mentioned Spitting Image, it did have that feel in places.

There was a real Star Stories feel to it - I thought it was great.

Highlights?

Harry as Charles, Haydn as Camilla, Philip's foul mouthed letters, the cafe owner ranting about a big shit blogging the bog, the royal visit to the 'Northerners' and Wills crushing the mummified testicles of his boss Baxter.

Everyone looked like they were having a lot of fun, I am glad I gave it a go.
