BBC3, comedy based on special effects, google it,

It was mediocre.
The CGI was probably amazing considering how much they likely spent on it. However the jokes themselves were a bit weak. Some stuff was reasonably funny, other stuff fell flat.
All-in-all, it's probably worth watching as there's really not much else on the telly these days anyway.
Alternatively you could listen to actually funny things like Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive on that there radio, and do proper laughs.
