Horay for slapstick, etc.

So that's why Labrats got commissioned. When that has poor ratings they may change their mind.
Its great that these people decide what we are and aren't fed up of for us.

Will the ratings be any pooer than something like Never Better or Roman's Empire?
Genius, isn't it. Why not just take each individual script on its own merits.
And screen a pilot to members of the public to gather thumbs up/down data.
Ah well, at least it means your script will become in fashion at some point, even if it sits in a draw for a few years.

I guess not, anything on the Beeb 1 or 2 gets watched whatever the quality of the writing. I have to say I haven't seen Labrats (we don't get it in Wales), I'm only going on the majority feedback on the forum as the fan's opinion...
What do you get instead?

Can't remember - think it was a prison drama on BBC 2W. Watched Futurama on one of the other channels.

I know somebody who got thrown out of Lampeter University for making a joke about welsh people and sheep. Seemed a bit extreme.

I think the law's a little woolly on this sort of thing.
