Five blellow stars

A must-listen for all those with an interest in the European Coal and Steel Community. Informative and enlightening. Captivating delivery and production. A delight. All hail Barracuda.

Beautifully-observed surreal parody

So, kids, there used to be these things called video tapes. There was also a certain genre of awkward and stilted educational programmes which definitely don't haunt me to this day. This show is a sharply-observed and superbly-executed parody of these. The voice acting delivers so much comic precision, and the surreal non-sequiturs are quite lovely. This is one of the funniest shows about. All hail Barracuda!
