The Wrong Door

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

A sketch show shown on BBC 3 that seems, at least, to have been trying to do something new and creative. The show's distinguishing features are:

  • The lack of a fixed cast or characters with only the "Superhero Tryouts" judges being in every episode.
  • Several sketches that are parodies of other things, such as Njarnia, a parody of both Narnia and Ikea.
  • Attempting, with varying success to reach Pythonesque levels of surrealism.
  • The use of some element of CGI in almost every scene.

Some of it is genuinely hilarious, especially those scenes with CAPTAIN GOITIER of the Train Pirates, others can leave you feeling like the joke was on you.

Tropes used in The Wrong Door include:
  • Are We There Yet? - A favourite line of the Most Annoying Creature Ever.
  • BRIAN BLESSED - As The Captain of "The Train Pirates"
  • Incredibly Lame Pun - Don't order Death by Chocolate.
  • Ninja Vs Pirate - Vs Clowns
  • Weirdness Censor - A woman's family and friends don't seem to notice that her latest boyfriend is a carnivorous dinosaur. Even when he starts eating people, it causes no more than slight social awkwardness.
