Guilty secret: They've been repeating Allo Allo recently and I've found myself laughing at it quite a lot. It's quite bizarre, because I thought it was complete shite when it first came out. It probably still is complete shite, but I'm just saying.

I saw another one of those panel shows called Argumental on Dave the other day. It was hosted by John Sargeant and I think Marcus Brigstocke (who also appeared on Hole in the Wall this week) was one of the team captains.
5/10, but I fell asleep after about ten minutes.

It says more about the survey-responding demographic really. As do all surveys. They should force the entire population to fill in surveys, at gunpoint and with lie detectors. Then we'd start getting to the truth of the matter.

The fact that 2PoLaaPoCP ever made it past the pilot episode is proof that if there was a god, then he's the sort of god who would put a whoopee cushion under your seat during an important interview or go to shake your hand and raise his thumb up to his nose, wiggling his fingers and poking out his tongue.

Brass and Whoops Apocalypse were quite good, if I recall correctly. Not seen them in years though. Brass was a pisstake of those Northern drama things set in a mill or something. Whoops Apocalypse was, I think, a bit like those Police Squad/Naked Gun things - straight faced, bad puns, slapstick. I think.

They are all older than you would remember.
I know about down to no. 71, but didn't watch them all - like On the buses with that conductor guy, I do remember watching Duty Free when I was very young. Love thy neighbour is famous for being racist, although I haven't ever seen anything other than clips. Dear John I recall as being quite funny, although again I was very young[/b]

I haven't watched it so it kills the thread for me.
However I will be watching The Wire as I have sky+series linked it. Looking forward to it as I can't find anyone who has a bad word to say about it, and I enjoy Lost which plenty of people hate.
