Quote: Aaron @ January 28 2009, 10:36 PM GMTYes, because it's plural. One series, multiple series'.
But it's "the present BBC series" innit? He doesn't have more than one series on at the moment does he?

No, but there have been multiple series'/series of the series... Man this is getting confusing.
Plus, it started off as ... *checks* Graham Norton's Bigger Picture, which was a different (albeit similar) show again.

Badge and Aaron. They'd be great on a desert island together.
You cannot be seriesous!
Oh and I read this as 'What is the capital of Phil Jupitus?' Ankara I reckon.
Quote: Griff @ January 28 2009, 10:51 PM GMTThe plural of series is series. We do not form plurals in English by adding an apostrophe.
You would only add the trailing apostrophe to indicate possession, ie "several series' worth of episodes".
It is not correct to write "Five series' of Doctor Who", or "there have been multiple series' of Peep Show".
That's what I meant. I think.
:/
Oh bugger knows. Either way, yes, that programme.

Phew. I was going to say, but somehow I felt it would be inappropriate for me as a non-native speaker.

Why is it with all the foreigns on this board you just can't tell! I wish I spoke a language that well

Haha! I love it when our foreign cousins know more about the language than we do. Or at least as much. Entschuldigung. It is my favourite German word.
I saw him at the Edinburgh festival in 1996 doing a thing about Star Wars which was OK. I saw him again last year in a small scale West End production called Life Coach which, while amusing, was more comedy drama than just comedy.
Not bad an actor in that I thought and interesting to watch a performance in a venue that only seated about 50 people.
As an aside I was contacted by the writer after I posted about the show on my blog. Nice bloke and we still swap emails from time to time on writing and his future projects.

I can make it work:
I think Phil is a very good stand up. If you watch his DVDs he's very good indeeed. The pity is we never seen him performing just on endless panel shows. I think he's a real talent.

Comic Relief, I suppose.
