The product blurb here makes quite unjustified comparisons with Curb Your Enthusiasm. CYE has plots for a start. (Like Seinfeld.) And not just any old crap plots, but genius plots. The last Brit sitcom that had decent plots that I can remember was Fawlty Towers. The Trip is the anti-plot. It pretty much sticks two fingers up at plot. What The Trip does have is two very funny actors / comics, talking. These guys have funny bones, and to watch them sitting in a restaurant blathering away and doing impressions is a joy. The characters are likable, intelligent, suffering and absurd, as in Sterne. They come as a double-act, as comedians frequently do.....
