Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle -Series 3 (Starts March 1st. BBC2 10pm)

Excellent 30 minutes of stand up, I'd go as far as to say that was my favourite episode of this season. Very witty, cutting, and complete show with the right amount of Lee's hallmarks. There was a clear theme running throughout with several different strands knitted together by an excellent ending. The BNP/Hindu taxi driver black/gay wife was also my favourite bit that Lee did in Dublin.

Chris Morris and Stew in the same room.

These two haven't worked together since On the Hour over 20 years ago if i'm not mistaken.

He's been involved in at least one of the previous Comedy Vehicles. Definitely the supreme being of satire!

Yeah great episode this week! Some of the bits I remember from seeing him do his 'work in progress' shows in Edinburgh last August, but the material is of course much tighter now.

Does anybody know when the next Comedy Vehicle series will air? I think it might be in 2016 rather than 2015 if I remember correctly. EDIT - just read it's due to be aired in April 2016.

On the bright side might get a new full show this year. I'd say the first announcements concrete about what he's up to will be the Edinburgh Fringe programme, which should be out pretty soon I think.

I actually though it was a very poor episode ,not funny at all,tedious and a bit too smug .
The imbecile in the audience laughing every 2 seconds was extremely off putting too .
The series seems to be getting worse as it goes along.

Chris Morris stole the final episode for me


"At some level you're not just sh*tting on your own doorstep, you're blasting sewage through your letterbox with a firehose ... You're like Bobby Sands with a muck spreader"

Great series, good to see there will be more (eventually).

The final episode was the most 'concept'-like of the series I think; With Stewart's voice breaking up occasionally (I think bit self consciously) it came across more as a one-man-theatre piece than stand-up in places.

The bit with Morris at the end was great:

Lee: "Is it entertainment? Is it meant to be entertainment, I don't know. But, you know what's important? Time's passed and at the end of it people say 'ooh, something happened'."

*pause*

Morris: "Is there anything you couldn't say that about?" :pac:

Episode 1 was great.
Episode 2 was a bit weak.
Episode 3 was properly laugh out loud all the way through.

Some of the fake craft beer names were fantastic.
