A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong (2017)

People REALLY need to understand that they are making mistakes , and they are professional enough NOT to laugh making it, there was great humour to it, in life, we must not always think they are meant to be doing a SERIOUS production, things are MEANT to go wrong, certainly gets you away from ALL the fake in normal tv production, where scenes are continually cut until an overpaid actor gets their words right .. WELL done, i am still trying to find out HOW to get this on DVD

Fmovies: I thought this might be good for my daughter to watch as light relief since she is studying it for her GCSE, but I have never seen such an appalling attempt to be funny. All it consisted of was awfully contrived slapstick, and badly conceived attempts to make it 'ironically' funny.

What made it obscene was the hideous canned laughter which was designed to let the unintelligent audience know when they should be laughing, which was nothing more than patronising and offensive.

I am surprised that such greats as Diana Rigg and Derek Jacob had anything to do with iti

The only saving grace was that it was moderately short.

I have watch Peter Pan Goes Wrong(Movie), The Goes Wrong Show, and have The Play That Goes Wrong(Broadway) 3 times and loved all of them. This one does not disappoint either.

While the jokes and "fails" may be repetitive as they are the same as in the others, this is not a problem at all. These are fails that a lot of us in theatre worry about or what may happen during rehearsals or even the shows. What makes these different is the story of the show that is being put on. Same fails, but different settings.

As someone who has worked backstage in theatre for 11 years, mostly in set construction and lighting design, many of the fails are things we joke and worry about such as set safety. I know actors worry a lot about missing lines, messing up, etc. I have even had actors faint during shows and costumes completely fall apart. Besides the comedy part, it is very inspirational and encouraging about pushing through in a show no matter what happens.

Sadly though, these jokes are sometimes not as funny to those who have not done tech or acting before.

A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong fmovies. All very good but Peter Pan Goes Wrong is marginally better I really don't know why I was on the flour I laughed so much this really will brighten your day

We started to watch this because of Diana Rigg and Derek Jacobi. We managed fifteen minutes. Completely unfunny. Terrible canned laughter, you could see the joke (for want of a better word) coming ten minutes before it arrived. Complete waste of time.

Could people who like this drivel kindly not inform me that I don't know what I'm talking about or have misunderstood something - I haven't thank you, I hate it, it's BAD.

Also it's very strange that all the negative reviews are almost entirely disagreed with in the 'Helpful' Yes/ No area, I've never seen 0/19 before. So It would be nice if the BBC production team & the friends & family could go and do something else, rather than defending the indefensible.

If you can listen to more than 5 minutes of this cancer-inducing canned laughter, combined with actual audience laughter (I think), then you really need medical attention.

A Christmas Carol is never wrong, this show is.
