Series 5 contestants have already begun filming.

Really enjoyed this past series, can't wait for the next! Anyone know how to get in the audience for the live bits?

This got posted on Greg Davies's Facebook yesterday, but it says all tickets allocated for each one now. Looking through the FB comments, the tickets are free but they aren't a guarantee to get in as they oversubscribe them. I had the same thing for the filming of House Of Fools, we had tickets, got there and joined the queue. The front half of the queue went in, the rest of us didn't. But it was a nice day in Salford Media City or whatever it's called, and we did see Mark Radcliffe walking around.

No, no, could work, yes, yes

Mortimer could be funny or could try far too hard to be wacky.

Saying that, I was gutted at the most recent lineup, but it worked very well - I think a lot of it comes down to their ability just to have a laugh with each other.

Best show of the series, overall things worked out better than expected, but, like others, we were crying with laughter at the second part of Mel's exotic sandwich farce.

I was expecting them to repeat the recent joke of only making her do that part, though.

Worth watching, first time I've made a point of watching the whole thing rather than just catching the odd bit.

New series starts tomorrow





Russell and Tim should be good, can't say I've heard of the first two.

Alice Levine is a Radio 1 DJ, but seems to be trying to branch out into other stuff recently. I've never heard of the next one.

I think most series have held surprises, someone you've never heard of or particularly noticed turns out to be quite amusing, e.g. Romesh Ranganathan, someone you know of but don't like turns out to be much more likeable, e.g. Noel Fielding, and someone you do know of and has hitherto seemed fairly ordinary turns out to be a complete bleeding nutter, e.g. Sally Phillips. Bob Mortimer was always going to be a total nightmare.

I'll carry on watching but I just don't think the line up for this series is as good as previous..

... the tasks seemed a bit lack luster too actually.

Cheers-that’s a quick turnaround though for a new series.

Think they film two or three series at once IIRC.

Thats a great line up this time - looking forward to that then

James, Phil and Rhod will be good. Only seen Jessica in Inbetweeners movie and I think one chat show that she was OK on. Should be a good show. Not heard of Kerry.

[thegreenhell]

Heads up for a 9pm start tonight.

Enjoying this. Good crew so far.

Laughed more at this episode than the entire last series. Mostly at Rhod and Alex sharing an intimate moment.
