Unbelievably crap so far. No waiting at the door countdown. And the big chair little chair thing was just garbage. Lost interest already.

The 'studio laughter' doesn't help either, well it's better than 'little britain USA'

not a lot though

Oh dear. 10 minutes was more than enough for me.

Martin Clunes is better than that.

What you need is for your mrs to chat to you about her day all the way through it. I didn't hear a word but from the pictures it was most amusing.

I am sure your missus was far more interesting.

It didn't help that this drivel was following a really funny programme.

Dreadful. And the original was so fresh and so clever. A true classic

No, because I posted a new thread specifically to highlight my personal despair which apparently others have been suffering from too, that and because you didn't add the link to your repost thread tongue out

I think I grunted once in vague amusement, the line to the effect of "if you can bleed for 5 days and not die then you deserve some flowers" but as that line could've been in any old comedy really it was completely irrelevant.

Cheers,
Rob

It was almost bearable, until that bit when he was in that bird's office, playing with the hairbrush. How predictable and pointless was that? No-one would do that!!

I didn't think they could better the original so didn't watch it. Seems I was correct in my assumption.

i managed to get about 10 minutes in before i switched it off.
even if you hadnt seen the original (which was far from perfect)this was like terry and june.
why do they think canned laughter will make a piss poor line funny?
