House-sharing in the afterlife: what dead rock stars did next

A firm favourite of the post-pub and doner kebab crew and, inexplicably, critics (“Britain’s answer to South Park”: The Guardian), House of Rock hypothesises how a bunch of dead rock stars (Lennon, Bolan and so on) would cohabit; which for the record is a bit like The Young Ones without any laughs. What the newly resurrected Noel Edmunds would call ‘a one box game’, it’s desperately unfunny, sharing South Park’s cut ’n’ paste, 2D approach to animation but none of its jaw-dropping offensiveness and insensitivity. Like the aforementioned Turkish delicacy, it probably should be enjoyed infrequently and in small portions.
