    Not my cup of tea at all. Saw a few episodes of it and only ever got 1 bit of a laugh.

    Seems like every episode is the same.

    She was interviewed a while ago on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.

    As for her comedy, it's a bit average.

    Doesn't make me laugh at all :\

    Oh how I long for the days of Harry Enfield and the Fast Show :(

    Meh, the only sketches are partickly like are the couple disgusted by the food they get served in restaurants. "Listen to this..."

    They were the good old days...

    *sigh*

    But there is still the odd gem from the BBC. Not neccessarily The Catherine Tate show which is good, but not great. Smoking Room is superb though

    Yeah, those were indeed the days. The Fast Show was fantastic! Paul Whitehouse was a genius. Didn't think much of that last comedy show he had though.

    A bit hit and miss, but on the whole very good.
    Some of the characters are funny
    The Granny (fackin liberty)
    Old Gay Guy(how very dare you)
    School Girl(face/bovered)

    Was good comedy on BBC2 on Thursdays from 9pm
    Extras / Catherine Tate / Absolute Power - all quality

    Next big uk comedy series to look out for is Peep Show Series 3 on Ch4, later this year(i think)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,021 ✭✭✭bopper


    The best characters by far are Paul and Sam!

    I love the show. Especially the granny, Lauren and 'how very bloody dare you'.
    The only one I don't really like is 'you ain't gonna believe this'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 169 ✭✭shellie11


    I absoloutley find this show hilarious..The granny is crazy ha ha and the one in the office asking her all the questions constantly...ha

    Does anyone else watch this show....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 169 ✭✭shellie11


    Actually my favourite characters are Paul & Sam ha ha:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,983 ✭✭✭445279.ie


    Love the sketch about the Gingers. Hilarious


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 542 ✭✭✭lady_j


    Dont really find it very funny, liked the tony blair sketch on comic relief but beyond that...

    Isnt Lauren Cooper just a blatant copy of Vicky Pollard?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes


    The dirty bastards!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    don't like it at all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,286 ✭✭✭SprostonGreen
