    The sweet spot of both unfunny and dull

    The premise had me interested, and then within 5 minutes it was clear that this would be a very dull affair. I love Guz and James, both very talented comedians, however in this programme that had nothing funny to say. Much of the time is taken up with them showing how the traps in home alone would cause catastrophic injuries (this is not news to anyone who has seen the film).

    The show is interspersed with some sections with Alex Brooker going round Hollywood meeting one of the cast and a stuntman. All three comedians seem completely wasted in this show, that is neither funny or educational. It was like an overcooked turkey dry and disappointing. Please Sky don't bother with any more of these shows.
