It's a parody sketch show. It takes things like Panorama or Question Time and parodies the hell out of them with opera singing (and occasionally dance). 'Manorama' for instance: Hugh Dennis investigates the drinking problems of Nottingham. People get run over, a new drinking day is made and Nottingham is saved from booze zombies by Robin Hood and his "Merry fucking men".
I'm wierd I see, but I love this. I love their voices, the comedy - and those fantastic compositions just for jokes.
It dosen't happend very much in Operas that many female opera singers sing high sound at same time. It sounds awesome and there is one reason more.
Haters, like Coocie Bear said: "Shame on you, shame on you!"

JESUS CHRIST! There are comic writers out there that can't get the BBC to even read their scripts. How the HELL did this ever get made?
ABSOLUTE GARBAGE - the worst comedy I've ever seen. And I like opera.

My favorite is Spouse Exchange. So politically incorrect, loved it.

NB they're not sketches, each episode is a full 30 min opera based on a different real life show.

Why can't we have more Kombat Opera? It is the funniest thing since Monty Python!
