did anyone else hear that George Clooney is going to be an extra in one of the "ladies" segments on the show... read it in MX yesterday! Seriously

I watched the first season for the first time last night on DVD... mildly amusing, not the funniest britcom I've seen (Spaced ownz Little Britain)

BUT

The Scottish skits are hilarious!

"If you were to ask me on a Monday, I would say....... Yiiieassss"
"If you were to ask me on a Tuesday, I would say....... Yiiieassss"
"If you were to ask me on a Wednesday, I would say....... Yiiieassss"

btw: Vulva from Spaced is one half of Little Britain, maybe I just stated the obvious

That scottish character is a pisser.

whilst little britain is indeed great.
nothing could ever match the league of gentlemen.
how can one show be so fucking amazing? everything from the writing to the cinematography to the acting is pure brilliance.

on a related note two of the l.o.g. guys helped write little britain and the director of that also directed little britain.

nah - gotta say - (can't remember his name) all time favourite character is the guy that sucks old ladies toes. That is so, so, funny.

Coupling pisses on Little Brittan, that show is still so ghey...

Anyone catch Nighty Night last night on ABC?

Yet another obscure BBC comedy

It looked the goods mainly due to it featuring a few of the people that worked on the wicked sketch comedy show Big Train back in the day. Half of them went on to do the series Spaced and I was wondering what this half had been up to.

I was sadly dissapointed. It seems comedy shows like this one and Little Britain think that pushing the boundaries of obscurity is good for comedy. Unfortunately unless you know how to pull it off, you may just make your show incredibly unfunny.

yea that show was more weird than funny....

still... it drew me in and ill probably catch it next week...

Get ready for Little Britain merchandise: The PVC- clad Only Gay in the Village Doll is said to be "particularly horrifying".

Little Britian is patchy, IMO. Sometimes it can be really really funny, but other times, doesn't seem to work. Not as genius as League of Gentlemen.

Hated Coupling with a passion. That show never made me laugh once, and I always used to have it on as it lead into repeats of The Office which I didn't want to miss.

Dead Ringers can be pretty funny when you know who it is they're impersonating. That guy who does Tony Blair (concerned forhead, trustworthy hands) is sooo good.

My favourites were Spaced and Black Books.

OK there is a thread about this..

Get ready for my foghorn, BWA BWA.

Can't stand it really. Few laughs, yet less than American Office.

First few episodes are really average, gets better as it goes along. There is definitely more consistent shows out there...

My fave british comedy of the last few years is still the Fast Show...

which is nice

Red Dwarf is still my fave, Rimmer and Lister would have to be one of the best double acts since the Two Ronnies. Don't even get me started on Kryten...

Second series no Scottish guy!! What is with that??

Although they had Mr Man!
"Do you have any pirate memory games?"

Those skits leave me on the floor

So is there going to be a season 3?? please?

For a really short while back in the day Big Train was programmed just before or after some REALLY weird playdough dog show called 'Rex the Runt'. Does any one remember it and know how many were made/where I might find them? I only saw about 3 of them, but I haven't laughed so hard as that in a long time

I took it upon myself to answer my own questions.

Yes series 3 is being filmed now and will air in the UK in their autumn.

The reason the scottish guy was not in series 2 was due to their small budget and the fact the scottish set cost them 6000 pounds.

But.. no series 4.

League of Gentlemen is hilarious. Was watching it this afternoon.

Not sure if it has been aired here, but "B'oh Selecta" is fucking hilarious. Hoping they bring it out because there are some absolute gems.

And as for my fave...i'd have to say The Mighty Boosh - owns.
