i actualy have to admit i diddnt realy watch much of it!I made sure i was in and free so i could watch it and by the time it got to march i was to bored to continue watching!The couple of sentances simon got in were pretty funny but the majority of it was just mush.It may well have picked up after i stoped watching.Granted i wasnt actualy doing the quiz for myself just watching hoping it would be funny, maybe thats why it failed to grasp me!

I like Woss, particularly on the radio, but I think he's better on his own or one-on-one than on panels. I have to agree that although I let out a wee snigger now and then I was also largely disappointed because I had expected it to be more comedy than quiz.
Does anyone get the impression that British comedy, at least good British comedy, is all made by a big gang of mates? They all know each other and each other's families. If you see Woss interviewing Gervais, or the many many cameos that pop up in everything half decent, you realise how pally it all is. You'd think that would be a bad thing but it doesn't seem to be detrimental to the comedies themselves. It just gets a bit boring when you watch them on things like this. |

I've always thought they all seemed like mates, and definatley ain't a bad thing. We are very lucky that Britain produces the best comedy in the world and America the worst

Don't start that one again for god's sake. We've already had this argument.

Thing is, for every great US show that we`ve seen, there`s thousands of Married with Children/Kate & Allie/Roseanne crappy-type shows that we don`t see. Sure, we produce some absolute rubbish, but at least most of it is moderately watchable.

Sorry, reb. I didn't mean to sound quite so churlish there. I've got a cold and I'm terribly grumpy today.
