My husband's mate does the sound editing for Come Dine With Me, apparently the very best of Dave Lamb gets cut out for being too rude. I dream of hearing the unedited commentary.

I'd love to watch a Come Dine with Me late edition.

Fresh Meat was pretty good this week, gently caress the Stow cunts mind, hope we don't see them again

Raskin had one problem: Jobs regarded him as an insufferable theorist or, to use Jobs's own more precise terminology, "a shithead who sucks".
He was also in Lead Balloon (I can't remember if people here liked that or not, it became quite tiresome for me).

So confusing, as was the fact that the repellant John Duggan, Press Officer in The Thick of It, was lovely Archie in Balamory.

It messes with your mind, somehow. Childrens TV show presenters are forever typecast as lovely wholesome innocent people in my mind, despite copious evidence to the contrary.

The thing that confused me about Archie in Balamory is that it's set in Scotland but he's the only one who wears a kilt, despite being the English one

Modern cut and designed Kilts are as Scottish as South Africa. They are more Victorian Fashion emulation of the real ones.

I've seen a few of the Horrible History guys pop up in other things, like Peep Show and Spy. Maybe thats why Horrible Histories is actually pretty good, its populated by sitcom actors rather than mugging childrens presenters.

I just came here to post that link. I've never seen Full English but it looks like the least funny thing ever. I mean a loving sketch about Diana and Jade Goody...when was it written? Unbelievable.

And apparently it has voiceovers by Richard Ayoade, Kayvan Novak and Daisy Haggard, who are all quite decent. Is it all as poo poo as that clip?

Sickest Cartoon Ever? obviously the Daily Mail never saw Newgrounds circa 2002-2003. Or anything actually blatantly offensive (gently caress off Daily mail gently caress off seriously). Not saying that cartoon isn't poo poo or anything. It amuses me animated British humour has been horrible bland or worse since 2DTV.



Also, IT Crowd slowly but surely is starting to date. The Facebook parody episode though is still quite strong.

I just watched last nights episode of The Hour and as much as I enjoy the show the sheer amount of smoke in every scene from 99% of the cast puffing away almost makes me cough my lungs up in reflex :v:

I wasn't sure how they could do a second season but they've done a cracking job so far, especially now we know most of the base plotline for the season.

I saw Frost on Satire a while ago, and it is really, really good. I loved the really old clips from That Was The Week That Was.
He's done a similar thing about TV interviews which I would also highly recommend.

Caught a bit of Hunted again tonight, not entirely sure what was going on, but one of the characters said, "How poo poo is this?", then another woman got shot in the chest while standing on one of the bridges in London which caused her to jump over the barrier into the Thames. She was resurrected two minutes later for the epilogue, which only makes sense since I seem to remember her dying twice already...

I'm guessing the guilt-ridden Deacon let her know what was about to happen and they planned the fake assassination. Although it was highly convenient of a deadly female assassin that carries a handgun visible in her back pocket to force Sam to appear in broad daylight in the middle of London (actually it's just terrible writing).

I watched a bit of Hunted. The only thing I can say is that it was better than Spooks, but that's not saying much because Spooks was an appalling programme.

You know Family Guy at its worst, and unfunniest? (well, that's all the time:v:), imagine that, but with English accents and references. And then combine that with the American pilot for Red Dwarf.

That's how unfunny it is.

Such a creation would create some sort of black hole that'd suck all humour from existance. I'm afraid to actually see it.

Family Guy's least funny episode is the pinnacle of comedy compared to a single moment of Full English. It's so bad it's actually embarrassing to watch. I cringed my way through the first episode and half of the second, and then I had to watch an old American Dad episode to take my mind off how bad Full English was.

I thought it was good enough to watch most of the time. Until the last episode which just kept stacking up the retarded reveals and twists.

Out of morbid curiosity I sought it out on 4OD - it is embarassingly bad. It would be poo poo by the standards of 3 minute video game fan films on youtube.

Couldn't Channel 4 have just given Dan Tetsell et al money to make another series of Mongrels? (I know it was BBC, but I just want to see more.)

It was a terrible HIGNFY. Moore was monotoning jokes from autocue that he clearly had no comprehension of. The two guest panelists were extraordinarily limp. The audience laughing on cue to crap visual CGI gags that were added in post-production was the cringe-inducing.
