Delta Forever

I must confess that I plucked this at random out of the ‘sitcoms‘ section on iPlayer, not having seen or heard anything about it, so I wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised by it though. It sort of crept up on me and by the end I was really impressed with the cast and writing, despite it having five writers. Normally a worrying feature for anything except quizzes and sketch shows. Both my wife and I found myself looking forward to the next one in quite a big way. In the sort of would-put-it-on-right-now way that you often get with a DVD box set of something you really love. I’ll have to wait til next week though.

You might recognise Antonia Campbell-Hughes (who plays the spookily frosty ‘Miranda’, and was recently in the Jack Dee comedy ‘Lead Ballooon‘. Did you know she’s also a fashion designer?), Alex MacQueen (who plays ‘Alex’ the PR git. You’ll recognise him from The Thick Of It), Ophelia Lovibond (who plays ‘Roxy’. Ms Lovibond was recently in the film ‘Popcorn‘ apparently) and Greg McHugh (the comedian and actor who plays the intense and brilliantly named ‘Guantanamo Ray’ character).

It’s an incredibly good bit of Harry Potter YouTube generation new media yoof satire. It’s not Nathan Barley, but you’ll like it. Watch it now, honestly, while it’s still there.
