Review of Camping

Camping (2016– )
10/10
An Unforgettable Camping 'T R I P'
18 April 2016
Warning: Spoilers
You think you've seen the darkest of dark comedy and then you watch Camping and you realise you really haven't seen anything yet.

From the mind of Nighty Night's Julia Davis comes this Sky produced assault on your senses- where a seemingly innocent glamping trip to celebrate a 50th birthday in the glorious Dorset countryside descends into a hell of bitterness, grief, jealousy, sexual experimentation, drugs, insanity and possibly murder.

As usual with Davis' work hardly any taboos are left untouched as the holiday rapidly horribly degenerates. There are standout performances from Vicki Pepperdine and David Bamber as a monstrous control freak wife and s t r a n g e campsite owner respectively whose behaviour will leave you both disgusted and crying with laughter. Think 'Nuts in May' meets 'The League of Gentlemen' directed by Ben Wheatley and you're close to summing up this jet black comedy treat.
