Thorsten-Krings I quite liked DHHT. I picks up motives from popular horror films and turns them into spoofs. So one has to bear in mind that it's a different concept from Allan Partridge and also a complete different kind of humour. It certainly beats Carry on Screaming. Anyway, the writers really have a very good knowledge of the classic English horror film and portray it very lovingly with a lot of detail. That clearly shows in the quality of the sets, the costumes etc. Although funny it's never disrespectful. The stories are absurd but they work quite well as opposed to being just a series of one liners. That's difficult to achieve with a genre parody. It's also quite comprehensive in taking on all aspects of the horror film. So if you're a Hammer fan you'll enjoy this. If you're looking for "typical" Coogan, forget it. BTW: Honor Blackmann still cuts a nice figure at well over 70.

mastersmithson This show is so funny and well written.The jokes are so obviously but the audiences don't actually expect them thus resulting in laughter once said, one that would stick with me is 'I kicked her head in...the fire'This is one of Steve Coogans best bits.Like many other TV shows however, it has its bad bits, but the hilarity of the show and the plots will let make you forget about that in no time soon!At least give it a try, it's like one of those things which you need to watch, just to say you have seen a classic piece of comedy, especially because of Coogan in his prime!

messed_up Although the first couple of episodes were nothing special the rest of the series was quite funny. Alright, not laugh 'til your sick, but it had it's moments. People don't seem to be happy unless Steve Coogan's playing Alan Partridge or Paul Calf, but this was an attempt to do something different. The series could've been better, but it wasn't that bad! Give the poor guy a break!

thenetnat I think the last reviewer has missed the point. This series is meant to be clichéd, corny and cheesy. Thats where the fun is. Just take the titles of the episodes for example, 'scream satan scream', 'lesbian vampire lovers of lust'. Funny, but not entirely memorable.
