DR.TERRIBLE'S HOUSE OF HORRIBLE 2001

Originally broadcast in 2001, Dr Terrible's House of Horrible is
a six-part pastiche of 1970s Hammer Horror from Steve Coogan's Baby Cow
production company. Each episode is topped and tailed by Coogan beneath
a mass of prosthetics in a high-back leather chair as the avuncular,
flatulent, faintly morally debauched Dr Terrible. "That was truly
diabolical", he concludes of each show, a verdict with which one or two
critics unkindly and unfairly concurred. Coogan also stars in each
as six different characters. In "And Now the Fearing...", for example.
he plays rat-faced, unpleasant millionaire Denham Denham; in "Frenzy of
Tongs"--a mickey-take of the Fu Manchu films--he's the
insufferably suave Nathan Blaze, a Jason King-a-like; in "Scream, Satan
Scream", meanwhile, he superimposes a parody of Peter Sellers over a
lampoon of the Vincent Price film Witchfinder General.
Although most of these episodes are elaborate period pieces and genuine
care has been made to render them as scary as possible, the real period
detail has been in recreating the luridly quaint, over-acted, hammy
feel of the 70s productions to which these episodes pay affectionate
homage. Although hardly a perfect series, the camped-up daftness of the
entire enterprise, a star-studded cast that includes Honor Blackman,
John Thompson and Ronnie Ancona, some nice scripting and Coogan's
versatility all make for a programme that's hard to dislike.
