The Goes Wrong Show (UK)
The Mischief Theatre is a British theater company which has put on several successful West End productions in the last decade. After two successful BBC television specials, Peter Pan Goes Wrong (2016) and A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong (2017), they have begun a six episode half hour weekly show on BBC One simply called The Goes Wrong Show.
In their plays the actual actors (Mischief Theatre) play amateur actors from the fictitious Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society. These actors in turn play roles in generally dreadful adaptations of famous famous plays in various genres. As the title would suggest, many things go wrong each week.
Each episode starts fairly slowly as the stage is set. But once things really start rolling, foul ups and mistakes build in a way that's reminiscent of the best Fawlty Towers scripts. The Goes Wrong Show owes much to both Fawlty Towers and SCTV, and it easily hold its own among those giants. It's just that funny.
Viewings pair well with large, boisterous groups and a couple rounds of drinks. My son has accurately stated that, "it's funnier with friends," which is indeed is true.
