    Bad Points: None.

    General comments: Wish more people could see this; reminiscent of early Monty Python's shocking comedy. Always interesting to watch. Thankful it is an hour long. Unique; always surprising - startling; clever; filmed with stop/start action; fabulous characters with their own bizarre and immensely talented portrayals.

    I will watch the second season of the Green Wing with care. I will not continue to watch something that offends me as much as the last episode of the season.

    "Green Wing" had me rolling around on the floor in paroxysms - only wish they had been with Dr Statham........

    Green Wing is a hilarious sitcom/drama set in the crazy ward - Green Wing. The characters although seeming intelligent have a fantastic way of behaving childishly, eg, Guy and Mac who constantly try to better each other and scatty Dr. Todd who seems to create disaster wherever or Martin who just can't get it right and even Sue White the unsympathetic staff counsellor.

    Green Wing is simply the best thing I have seen on the television. Ever. (And I thought nothing could beat Black Books!) You either get it or you don't - and people that don't, you don't know what you're missing. At first I thought, 'how on earth is this going to work with about ten main characters? We'll never get to know any of them properly.' How wrong I was - every character develops wonderfully during the series, and the hour-long episodes meant that there was space for the main storylin ...

    Green Wing is without doubt the TV treat of 2004. There was not one moment when I didn't have a smile on my face due to the fab acting and mannerisms of a fresh and unweathered cast. It filled the space that Friends had left and deserves to sweep the board at the comedy awards - it is quite simply good fun and is very, very funny.

    Green Wing - This is the best comedy ever (maybe a bit generous), the characters were original, the storyline moved fast, and they could actually be related to!! - shame on me. Great comedy, can't wait for it to come out on DVD!!!

    Green Wing has come on to the British Comedy circuit quite quietly, but made a huge impact. The amount of hits to Green Wing related sites has been phenomenal and it shows that we Brits can contend with the Americans, for once. The more I watch it, the more intrigued I become not only with the characters, but the clever use of cameras and time warping. As an amatuer comedy writer, it is inspirational to see something as wacky but as tantalising as this. The background humour is what you must loo ...

    I think Green Wing is absolutely hilarious, it annoys me when people compare it to scrubs, because I love that two, and they are both completely different. I love the story between Mac and Caroline, (but don't see why everyone loves him!) I think Green Wing is absolutely hilarious and I love it because of the insanity of the characters!!

    When I first saw the ads for this tv program I expected a Smack The Pony style sketch show. How wrong was I. The Green Wing is a strange kind of Soap/Drama/Comedy thing that just works on all levels. The cast are fabulous, Mark Heap as Dr Statham is just fantastic, although his character is essentially an unlikeable prat, the way Heap plays him you just have to feel for the guy. Genius. Everyone else is brilliant to, from the gorgeous Tamsin Greig as Dr Todd to the maestro Stene Mangram as Gu ...

    Green Wing - Such a fast pace with visual and spoken gags at a quick-fire pace. A true gem. I have just watched the last in the series and can't wait for series two. The best thing since the League of Gentleman.

    Green Wing - I have never laughed so loudly for so long at a TV programme since Spaced and Black Books. The humour is right up my street with the crazy antics of both the men and the women characters - namely Mark Heap and the crazy Scottish lady! C4 have come up with a winner and I hope it will continue. I am eagerly awaiting to see how the Guy/Mac/Caroline love triangle will work out as well as what happens to the rest of the team as they are all as equally captivating. I hope to be first in l ...

    Green Wing's mix of offbeat and overtly random humour is a breath of fresh air for Friday night television which has gone decidly stale over the last 6 months or so. However, it is not what carries the show. The characters are what stand out the most, with impressive performances from some of Britain's up and coming comic stars, I feel that as each week goes by I am complled to see how their complex lives unravel. In terms of dark humour I have to say that it is nearly on a par with recent succe ...

    Green Wing - By using off-beat comedy as its primary means of humour not everything you see/hear will be necessarily 'in your face' type of humour (i.e. instant). I would agree that it will be a personal preference thing - you either get it or you don't, so I am not surprised that the reviews which have been posted, both here and elsewhere, have been so polarised. Also, using humour references in an original way. How many blokes would have genuinely understood the 'Pink Bunny' storey of Sue Wh ...

    Green Wing - A brilliant quality comedy show, perfect for Friday nights, that got me hooked after the first show. This is one of the best comedy sketch shows/soaps - things I've seen in ages. The cast is brilliant, and their characters and their antics make me laugh out loud every time. Please keep it going, it makes Friday nights worth staying in for. Will a DVD of the series be out?

    Green Wing - An acquired taste: at first it seemes just bits of Smack the Pony but now the characters are coming forward. The comedy is brilliant.

    Green Wing is such an amazingly fantastic program! I've been watching it from day one, and have loved it from the start. People who think that this is a substitute for Smack the Pony or Scrubs should banish these thoughts and take it for what it is - a hilarious sketch show with some very arty/classy technical manoeuvres. No character is underused or badly portrayed, and last night's house-warming proved that these actors can provide not only comedy, but heart-meltingly tantalizing acting. ...

    Green Wing - I am an international student from the States studying in Scotland. Every Friday nite me and my flatmates get together and watch Green Wing. I love it - the humor is wonderful, and you can always expect a "what the..." in every episode...the guy sucking toes, it's brilliant. Thank you Channel Four for not letting British television be terrible.

    When Friends ended, I watched repeats. When Will & Grace started up again, I was curious. With Green Wing I was utterly fascinated, but only after I'd seen it. I expected the worst, was bored, and watched it probably because the remote control wasn't working. The little ads were funny and heightened the appetite, but I certainly wasn't expecting this clever, sidesplitting, no doubt spine-cracking masterpiece. Each alluring actor and actress had their own brilliant moments only to bundle them all ...

    Green Wing - It takes a lot to make me laugh and Green Wing makes me laugh, it can be slow at times but you have just got to be patient. I would reccomend this show to anyone with a long enough attention span to sit through one episode, once you've watched one all the way through you find yourself watching the next episode. Most people who don't like Green Wing haven't even watched the whole of the show.
