I preferred the second episode of KB, the first half was very funny, the second a bit hit and miss again. Highlights were Harry Hill as a doctor, Dwarf TV and the red button for porn sketches. Much better, so I'll keep watching.

My mistake. Good to see the therapy is working
I caught this last night for the first time. It was pretty good!
It didn't make me roar with laughter, but there was a lot of sniggering going on.
I liked Ross Kemp on Drugs, Harry Hill and Dwarf TV.
I'll be watching tonight.
Oh, now that 'Legal' scent was just inspired.
I wasn't that impressed tonight.
He did a fair few drugs references which got repetitive.
I only really liked the Bruce Forsyth Die Hard sketch.
Does anyone else see hints of Bo Selecta in this or is it just me?
No, I thought it was the weakest of the three so far. Still some laughs, and the odd glimmer of genius (see previous post), but on the whole kinda disappointing.
I watched this for the first time tonight.
There were some funny moments and the idea of if there's no punchline, no matter, just switch to another sketch proves you don't need a punchline if you can get away with it.
Mind you, I did get rather peeved personally at the satellite channel hopping idea as I tried to pitch a channel hopping sketch show to Channel 4 a while back, but they didn't like the idea.
"Maybe we'll do something like that AFTER the digital switchover when everyone has satellite TV and then everyone can relate to it" was part of their reply.
It is very hit and miss, but I think the main problem I have with this is that there is just something very slappable about Kevin Bishop.
I thought this last episode was well below par. Only a couple of good sketches and a lot of poor ones. 11 writers on the show too.
I watched this not yesterday, but the Friday before. Actually, quite liked it - especially the Ross Kemp bits.
Well I seem to be the only one who thought it was ace again.
Loved the Jesus Christ sketch. Had a few lol moments for me, and lots of titters.
Which reminds me, also loved the University Challenge.
"It's a pair of tits, you bloody geeks"
Yeah, the Jesus Christ sketches were good.
As were the University Challenge ones and the Catchphrases No Longer Socially Acceptable.
The rest I found were fillers.
Channel 4 should produce that Jesus Christ sitcom - I'd watch!
Harrow Harrow. Good.
The Black Adder. Excellent.

Yeah, that made me laugh.
