I've just finished listening to a series on BBC Radio 4 entitled 'The Pilots that never Flew'. It's about the whole process under witch prospective comedy series in the UK and US undergo an initial 'pilot' episode before being fully commissioned, both on TV and radio.

Regarding 'Nitelive', I doubt RTE underwent 'best practice' and commissioned an initial pilot of this, dare I say, fucking travesty.

Those of us old enough to remember the RTE comedy warcrime called as 'The Press Gang' would have thought that they surely would have learned their lesson and wouldn't have given the keys to comedy commissioning kingdom to a deranged chimp escaped from a biomedical research facility that was duely mistaken on entry to Montrose for a UCD arts grad with family FF connections (in fairness it probably had mastered the basic motor skills of pressing a big yellow button to receive a banana and speaking in a D4 accent).

But oh-no. History is doomed to repeat itself yet again.

My critique of this sham of a travesty will, in it's brevity, be in league with Kenneth Tynan's review of "A Good Time was had by All" (No) and Spinal Tap's Shark Sandwich (Shit Sandwich).

Shitelive.

Would people use PMs for personal chatting eh?

I'll check that prog DW, "On Demand" hopefully.

Time Trumpet wasn't even an great series by Armando Iannuccis' usual standards.

i really liked it. thought it was better then The Armando Ianucci show but it does suffer from not having one of his boys to mess about with. sure stewart lee & richard ayode are there (so is Adam Buxton) but for the type of show it was setting out to be it hit the nail on the head.

ur right tho, Iannuccis standards are extremely high. i mean this guy has been involved with partridge, brass eye, the day today & was the lead in The Saturday Night Armistace (amazingly good show). sure the humour is orientated towards all things britain but its still a giggle.

I still think John Ryan is trying to start his own sorta gang like that here, his press launch thing stank of something chris morris would say if he had his head in a microwave. second rate imitator. im really glad that this show is being universally panned and shown up for the farce that it is. written by an accountant.... says it all really.

at least we got a mention on their last show

that proves how limited the 'talent' working on the show really is

And next week we catch up with an increasingly odd Tom Cruise

can you PM me re : sketches

also let me know what music you like cause im not sharing a table with someone who might like cr*p like My Chemical Romance aka My Musical No Pants

Can we expect the rest of the sketches to be up to that Everest-like standard? If so , Im sure Galton & Simpson, Clement & La Frenais and Chris Morris are all en route to your gaff in a taxi with tape recorders primed as we speak.

Just kidding, of course. You go girl. Dont let no man keep you down. Etc etc etc.

Press gang was a quite decent ITV Kids programme starring a pre-Snatch Dexter Fletcher, a pre-Eastenders the-one-of-the-Mitchells-who-isnt-fat-and-bald, and the lovely pre-Ab Fab Julia Sawalah.

The abomination forced on us by a sadistic Rté commissioning editor was "Extra Extra (Read all about it)" with Morgan Jones, who is neither as attractive as Ms Sawalah nor as good as comedian as the Mitchell chap from Eastenders. (And he's not that good of a comedian, to be honest.)

Great work, Jazzy.
We have the numbers and the voice to get this thing off. And we KNOW they are reading us. It's a scandal that there are writers and performers who don't get a look in and this looser has given a TV show. Our money p*ssed down the drain. Another FAS, etc.

We can get this taken OFF the air.

HIVeindhoven · 15-01-2009 2:30am

lol lot of bitter failed writers whinging in here
"its ****e" well what the fk do yo expect if yor gonna compare it to the greatest satiral proframmes ever brass eye
we are a small country the talent pool for this stuff is bound to be smaller
i might also remind you that in the uk for every brass eye there is legions of unfunny dross
genis is pretty rare and it certainly isnt evident on these boards lol at some of yo delusional creeps

PS i have not seen nightlive so dont have an opinion on whether its good or bad

I'm surprised nobody in RTE has commissioned someone to adapt a screenplay from the Ross O Carroll Kelly series of books.

Written shiite becoming televisual shiite?
Thats sounds like an RTE wet dream.

i have a feeling i'd hate johnnyhanjobs "comedy" so far, the only insight he's given us is a man getting hit by a bus. brilliant.

If youre talking about ryan. Like apart from been a total tosser? He's anti-Irish and his excuse for a show is a sick joke. Everyone is making cutbacks. Rte should start now by taking this off.

Elmo · 15-01-2009 3:45pm

Why is there so much discussion about this when only 87,000 viewers tuned into watch the show.

I some how don't think it will return for a second series.

The news tracker on the bottom had funny stuff but it moved too slowly for me.

The ticker crawled along didn't it!? Just keep it at an ordinary pace and the mini-laughs will come. I wonder now if the speed of the ticker was intentional but thats beside the point.

Part of the Genius of "the day today" was the ticker moved too fast to read and yet was of the highest quality comedy, side splittingly funny and yet you could only read one gag out of three every time....
so i guess that is another example of RTE missing the point.

I watched it last night and actually think its probably the best comedy show RTE have seen in a long time. Genuinely funny. The format is fresh and the writing is sharp. What other show on RTE can even be compared to Nightlive?

Ha ha ha ha
it was fresh when morris/armando/coogan did it (better) 15 years ago, that was genius, this is pale RTE imitation

the guy u are quoting is a fake account set up by someone involved in the show simply to pimp it, wouldnt pay much heed.

87,000 viewers too many imo :pac:

oh, and being anti-Irish isnt a problem

we're far from the worst recession, plus, have you tried walking into RTE with an idea? Might not be as hard as you think.
also, you come across as quite bitter about the type of person he is, which should not matter. judge on material, nothing else.

Well spotted Jazzy. This so called writer is trying to pull a jedi? What kind of tool slags off his own show. Dont worry Ryan, there is enough of us to do that.

Take this OFF.

Jazzy · 15-01-2009 9:24pm

It is about him as a person tho' isn't it. A lot of this thread is personal and for a good reason. If this was some guy we didn't know trying his best wed give him a break.

But this guy has been asking for it for too long. He is a known failure. That should be enough.

btw Sorry Jazzy for the mix-up earlier

I have deleted serveral what can only be described as vitriolic posts full of personal abuse and the foulest of language. It appears that some people are not capable of discussion without it descending into chaos.

Mr Williams can enjoy his vacation from this forum.
