The annoying thing is it gives people a totally false impression of how it all works, and makes it look like it's much easier than it really is, and having been through the process myself it's just a bit insulting.

They really need to encourage the writers now to at least look up the basic information of stuff before they write about it. It isn't exactly hard now.

They do, and then when the experts who they've invited along to read in on the scripts point to glaring flaws and horrible pieces of psychological nonsense, they thank them nicely, walk them to the door, press ahead with it anyway and you get Kat screaming WHERES MY BABY

It's been on a few years now using the same format. If I worked in a charity and a strange bloke from out of the area turned up with a camera crew and asked for a "few days work experience" I'd be thinking "Woo hoo! MONEY!"

In my experince with volunteer work at charity shops, you'd be be surprised how little people stay on and get stuck in. Retired elderly women are perhaps the most permanent and dependable members of the workforces of Oxfam and British Heart Foundation. Everyone else is a temp.

They tell the people they're filming a ficticious documentary of some kind. it seems to work well enough. I guess if the format gets too recognisable they could turn it into a prank show and have people reveal to expectant social workers that they're actually skint. Speaking of which, back when I was a little'un and didn't understand that shows were filmed in series, I couldn't understand why contestants on the Crystal Maze didn't watch last week's episode to work out how to do some of the games.

Hello UK TV thread, I've just discovered This Is David Lander featuring a late '80s Stephen Fry and I'm rather enjoying it! Is it just me that had no idea this program existed?

11:20, not the best time. Isn't that classified as a dead zone by the BBC? weren't they talking about making no new programming for after 10:30 not that long ago?

They must really hate the show. Especially as its been bumped from the ten o'clock slot by a loving repeat of Nevermind the Buzzcocks.

Trying my utmost not to sound like an elitist, but I can understand why the BBC would put Stewart Lee somewhere people didn't stumble across him... To be honest I'd have thought they'd give him a program on BBC4, not BBC2 isn't that where QI started?

SLCV was actually his verbatim stand-up set what he done toured recently, albeit with the Armando bits. Prefer this to last seasons format. Hope it's not all directly lifted from Vegetable Stew though.

The first series was the same but with If You Prefer a Milder Comedian. Glad they got rid of the sketches. They were hit and miss last time round. There were a few great ones though, like Del Boy falling through the bar and Kevin's Apple shop, but a good few just fell flat when I'd rather just see Stu not talk much.

Wasn't Vegetable Stew literally promoted as preparing the material for the filming of Comedy Vehicle? Each night of Vegetable Stew was two episodes of the show and then some extra little bits, I think.

When I went to see him in Leicester before his show was being called Vegetable Stew he said he was performing material he was planning to use for his BBC show.

I agree about the old sketches. I may be biased, living in the land of whaling harpoons, but my god the new episode of Comedy Vehicle was utterly fantastic. Completely classic Lee.

Even I was surprised at how good it was. I love Stewart Lee a lot but I wasn't expecting him to really hit on a formula that works this series. The stand-up mixed with the Armando chats is a perfect mix.

When I saw his Vegetable Stew show he did do a half hour piece on charity, which was the """theme""" of last night's episode but actually didn't do much stuff verbatim and was different to the episode. He started with the "I do 45-50 charity gigs a year" and casually increased the number through the show, for example. Also, only Stewart Lee can tune a guitar for 2 whole minutes and make it absolutely hilarious. All that aside, he is as ridiculously funny as ever and it was well worth the wait.

The new Stew was good. I don't think I've ever heard him speak so quickly at the top of the show. I saw the same 'Charity' routine a few months back in Birmingham and he performed it with a lot more 'silence', which I preferred... The Armando chats are great. I'd love to see Armando have a talk show in that style. Which, if you like, you can get pretty much every episode of Armando's Charm offensive legally online... You can find the couple that Stew appears on from fistoffun.net too. Just booked tickets to see this: http://ticketing.southbankcentre.co.uk/find/dance-performance/tickets/at-last-the-1981-show-58634 Which led me to the wonderful and bizarre stand-up of Kevin McAleer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FMjCB5-xw8
