About this listen

How far would you go to get your dream job?

In The Temp, Warren (Marek Larwood) is sent to a variety of temp jobs by his recruitment officer Aimee (Vicki Pepperdine) on the promise that if he does a good job, it might become permanent. And each time, the job turns out to be more dangerous and ludicrous than advertised. Open-minded to the point of mindless, Warren never seems to notice that the job is very different to the job description - he just wants to do a good job, and get made permanent.

A nonsensical good laugh in typical British style. Reminiscent of the Goons, Python or the Goodies. Peppered with one liners and Dad jokes. Loved it!

Good fun.

A fantastic series with a great cast. Very clever and funny jokes. Good for something short to listen to or just a good laugh.

Easy listening. Reminiscent of monty python and mell brooks with bbc quality sounds and performances

A good laugh

This must've been written for children. May as well be written by a kid. Very plain humour, and unfunny. And the main character having no brains is just annoying after a while.

Could've been good. But it's not.

I can't believe someone even though this audio book was a good idea. Not even remotely amusing in fact quite nauseating to listen to.
