Alot of people are saying that this is 'racism' and 'not funny' but it really is! Àlmost all the characters, I laugh at! Some of the ones I like are: Jiffy, Mrs Omwakwapopo, Miss Kingston, Sheson and Florence. I recommend if your looking for something funny to watch but not knock-your-head-back-laughing kind of funny. 😂 Jiffy is a dysfunctional Nigerian traffic warden who gives people tickets for things like sleeping in the car or breaking down. She often appears in strange places, such as the back seat, glove compartment or boot of a car, a coffin or the screen of a cash machine. She often gives lengthy speeches about her services as a traffic warden, insisting that she works for the late Her Majesty De Quayn. She pronounces her words incorrectly, for example, she pronounces "vehicle" as "Ve-hickle" and "illegally" as "illegal-lully". She usually ends with: "this may take a loo-oo-oong time." Mrs Omwakwapopo is a Nigerian woman who is constantly in marriage counselling with her several husbands, and who often tries to make a move on the counsellor, or insult them, calling them a "pimp" or "prostitute". Miss Kingston is an old Jamaican woman who is going through a divorce because her husband cheated on her. This makes her hate men or anyone of the male gender, whether young or old. Gladys Kingston (formally Raymond) is just divorced from her husband, who left her for a younger woman, to raise a son on her own. In one episode, she scolds her nephew Josh, saying that her niece is her favorite. She is also a teacher in a primary school. She told a boy to stand at the corner on one foot, as well as telling a girl that her father would run away and impregnate a postwoman. She also wishes her husband was dead. Sheson is a Nigerian-Cockney bus driver who regularly sings "In The Name of Jesus". She has criticised her passengers on a regular basis. Several scenes include telling a female passenger with a dog to "take her sheep off her bus", accusing her of making the bus look as if it is Noah's Ark, another scene not allowing a lady with a pram to board her bus, branding it as a spaceship, before closing the door on a man who queries if the bus stops at a certain place. Another man asks the same but is on board the bus, and refuses permission for him to talk to her when he queries her when the bus is in transit. In one scene she had a mat for her passengers to wipe their feet on that said "I Can See Your Knickers". She also criticised two men for not thanking her to stop at a request stop by calling them homosexuals. One of her catchphrases is "You're lucky I'm a Christian!" And Florence is an overweight dietitian who uses Juju to help people lose weight. One of her catchphrases is "umm-hmm" (used repetitively), and "...or dream of this!", said while doing outrageous things, such as ripping open someone's shirt. She usually ends the session with: "save yourself, save yourself, save your se-e-elf!"

This S HIT is not funny, its the perfect example of reverse racism its only on a mainstream channel because its "ethnic" and "urban". This is political correctness gone wrong, lets have stuff on TV because its funny not because the writers and/or performers are black or Jewish or Asian ie the massively unfunny Goodness Gracious Me and (sh)At Home With The Khumars. A sure sign of the lack of talent is the fact that Jocelyn is acted off the screen by the supporting cast. What follows is only to make up the amount of content necessary to be able to post this comment, please do not consider me racist as I love the comedy of Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock.

This is definitely another great programme for BBC Three. Funny from beginning to end. The characters are portrayed beautifully. They reflect stereotypes recognisable to all, including surprises to delight the viewer. From the Witch Doctor working on the NHS, to the Professional Woman who thinks that no-one thinks she is black. The biggest character, and the one pushed by BBC Three, is the over-zealous Traffic Warden, who fines people for everything, stating that she works for the 'Quain', and giving out tickets takes a 'lo-o-ong' time.

The series may not be to everyones taste, it's definitely designed for BBC Three's audience, and if you can't stand sketch shows in general, don't bother watching it. If you do, however, like to see a well presented and interesting mix of extreme characters, then watch this.

Some characters may not be up to the high standard of others, but they still make you laugh, and are passable.
