DAVE G'S STATE CORONER SEASON 1 REVIEW:

        In was always going to be hard to beat 'Billy Connolly's Tour Of Australia' and many a cynic would have suggested that UK comedian Ross Noble jumping on a motorbike and driving around Australia while in the middle of a comedy tour reeked of a direct copy of it... but luckily enough for Noble he pulls them off fantastically well and makes you forget that it has all been done before.

        There are very few down moments in this series as Noble is constantly hilarious and you can't help but marvel at the way he can rock up to a town, take a look around it, make some gags to camera and then turn up in front of the locals and deliver a whole bunch more jokes aimed at their town. Most of the comedy is off-the-cuff and it surprisingly works. The fact that Noble also gives you a good look around Australia makes this series even more of a must have.

        This is a brilliant comedy series that serves as a good travel-documentary. Funny all the way through, this series won't disappoint.
RATING:- **** (out of 5)

Dave's Review:
Some truly moments and nobody knows how to make a joke on the spot quite like Ross Noble. I never thought I would say this but this actually seems funnier than Billy Connolly's tour of Australia

Dave's Review:
Again some brilliant comedy especially at the expense of Bogans. Also interesting to note is that you get to see more of Australia with Ross Noble than you do with most doccos... this series just gets better and better.
