The funniest thing for me was the use of old geordie actors to represent Ant and Dec. But that soon wore off and I thought it was rather poor. The Dermot Moghnahan (sp?) hanging himself was desperately unfunny. And all that Bacon stuff was fucking stupid too.

I think the concept of the show was pretty good, but the actual jokes were very lame.

ditto. I don't think I laughed once.

About as funny as an actual talking head show...

 

[Barking_Mad]

I think the actors playing the parts of older celebs and politicians are pretty poor on the whole.

The charlie brooker series is pure gold. The skit about hollyoaks was very funny.

Agreed, funny stuff, especially the song about the midget in the closet.

I really liked Iannucci, and the first trailers for it looked great - but it hasn't delivered IMO, just not funny enough. The same joke being hammered over and over again really.

 

[Orang Utan]

I agree - I think it's very weak

 

[El Sueno]

I like it, I laughed out loud every time the bees started messing around with the VT. He's still got it imo.

The Ianucci sketch shows and the one-off "2004 Silly version" were more consistent for sure but it's still worth watching just for the 2/3 fucking hilarious bits per episode.

I've only just seen it now on BBC2 after missing it several times. It was hilarious. Great concept. Loved it

Funnily enough, after really not liking it a while back, I enjoyed what I saw last night - but it is still a nice idea for an extended sketch in each episode of a series, rather than a series in itself.
