Bo Selecta is a very unique show for better or worse, and it has obtained a cult following over the years. I find it very hit and miss overall. It's not deemed to be politically correct today, but I don't think that Leigh Francis ever set out to intend anyone intentionally.
The most consistently funny character in the show is Craiiiiiiig David, whose appearances are almost always funny. I can't help but observe that the first series is by far the strongest and I rate that one highly, but the others, Season 3 in particular which has a slight format change are a noticeable step down in quality leading to my just above average overall rating of the show. The show isn't for everyone, being filled with very abstract toilet humour throughout. It was never going to have a timeless quality to it and if you weren't around at the time then I would imagine you will have trouble understanding what is being lampooned as the show relies off of parodying pop culture of the time so often.
Definitely the highlight of Leigh Francis's career.
Series 1: 7.5/10 Series 2: 6/10 Series 3: 5/10.
