The Mash Report

[marcosgt]

I watched the first couple of episodes on iPlayer.

I can't say I've warmed to Nish much (I was rather disheartened to see he's on the first episode of MTW coming up, but he has a mountain to climb with me, having 'enjoyed' his live act), but it had its moments.

As someone else said, the Twitter wall induced a smile the first time, second time it just seemed like padding.

Sadly, it looks as though the Mash Report is dead.

The BBC Website says
"There are no upcoming broadcasts of this programme"

A real shame.

Worry not....according to Nish's twitter feed that was the last Mash Report until November...so hopefully it will make a comeback then.

It is odd though...no Wikipedia feed, no mention on IMDB regarding the show.

Makes you wonder how much work must go into the successfully going into shows like the Daily show where they are able to keep the satirical humour alive week after week 5 days a week! (sometimes less)

Although just looking at the number of writers they have on the show...it is no wonder there are hundreds!!

Cool, I did wonder if they were just testing the water. The middle of summer isn't exactly the best time to start new series like this.

[sparkythecat]

Starting again on the 18th January.

I thought it was a good start to the new series.

I enjoyed it. I really like Rachel Paris.

I saw Nish do some regular standup a few months ago, he was better than he is on this.

Yes, she's very funny and seems to be taking the piss.
The others seem a bit too earnest and right on at times.

Good episode - it seems to be finding its feet now. The skit on sexual harassment was particularly well done I thought.

Me too. Exactly the sort of stuff I've been thinking in recent months.

[e30m3Mark]

Rachel Paris on form again this week.

It's not good.

[Crossbot]

It's good.

[e30m3Mark]

I thought last 2 episodes were a bit weak.

[sparkythecat]

Some of the material in this series has been quite good, but I'm now starting to find Nish Kumar irritating.

Slightly off topic but the originator of this show is being broadcast again on R4 extra.

On the Hour - Series 2, Episode 1 - @BBCRadio4Extra

It’s a bit too anti men for my liking.

[RicksAlfas]

It's better if you fast forward through the Nish bits.
