Ah.

Not that I mind carols – I can enjoy them every bit as much as I can a decent requiem mass.

Anybody else see Vic & Bob's new sitcom offering last night?
I found it fairly amusing.

No but I did watch a full episode of 'Till Death Us Do Part" from the series where Dandy Nicholls was very ill and was written out of those episodes with a storyline that she was visiting her sister in Australia.

Very funny comedy of the sort that you just do not see anymore, very sharp, precise script writing with a critical political twist but also very funny.

Its on that You-thing and its the episode where they watch one of the Ali-Frazier fights, this type of program may not be good for you if you apply todays morals to everything as it refers to skin colour an awful lot.

I watched it for the first time last night - completely barmy but I laughed throughout it, surreal comedy at its best in the way that "Big Night Out" also was, the scene with them trying to keep quiet in the kitchen was superb.

The true test of any decent comedy is if my wife laughs or turns it off, if she laughs at something then its got to be rubbish, if she turns it off then its worth watching, she refuses to even turn on anything to do with Vic Reeves so its a sure bet right from the start.

Not everything works, you can't expect it too when it's that barmy, but a lot of it does.
Vic and Bob sketching together is still the funniest for me but the nutty, bearded, singing lothario with the buttercup yellow belt has been excellent in the first few episodes.

Yes, she's desperate for cock and I don't thinks she's particulary bothered who the sausage owner is.
Akin to a Francis de lt (I can't be arsed to look surname spelling up) in Rising Damp.
