Grownups - Series 2 Page 7

Your secret's safe with me. Bye bye!

The last page of this thread is a demonstration why you shouldn't stay up all night drinking! (I knew you couldn't resist returning Tim.)

Anyway, back on topic now. Grownups only discussion please:

And in 20 years' time when I am in control of BBC Comedy SN will only have a job in the main entrance, on her knees servicing the weather presenters as they come through the revolving doors. MJ will have been comfortably pensioned off but will be required to explain at every AGM what was so f**king funny about 'The Smoking Room'.
The cast of 'The Life Of Riley' will be forced to breed with cast of 'After You've Gone', and the resultant offspring will be taken away from the herd and introduced into the massively superior 'Outnumbered'.
Alan Carr will be legally separated from proven-brain-shrinker Justin Lee Collins.
Patrick Keilty will be legally abolished other than appearing on the new BBC5 channel show 'I'm a 30 Year Old Virgin And I Think I've Been Raped.'
I will commission the new sitcom from Jennifer Saunders entitled 'BBC Pension Plan' which will chart the hilarious story of a bunch of 80's comics getting jobs for their kids in the industry.
Sanjeev Bashkar gets a series for him and his missus for no good reason.
I will launch a comedy "truth and reconcilliation" programme, whereby after the BBC having wiped classic comedy in the 50's/60's such as episodes of Hancock and Not Only But Also, we wipe as many episodes of 2 Pints as possible and all of Coming Of Age.
A discount off the licence fee for anyone who was exposed to 'Life Of Riley'. Those who wrote it to be imprisoned for a year whilst having their script read back to them constantly. Suffer for thy art.

See you in the BBC Club soon. By the way, Nira and Kenton haven't heard of you either.

Again, Nira knows me. I have her number on my mobile....

You should know that is bollocks - I was talking to Nira a couple of weeks ago.

I resigned from the website. I have a new pilot to finish and the current one means I should shut my big mouth. Cheers for now mate. Bye bye, Tim

Jesus Christ Tim, you can't resign from nothing. Stop pretending you're going away and just post when you bloody well feel like it! Good luck with the pilot.

Tim isn't actually lying about these things Andy. Why do you feel the need to try and trip him up all the time?

That's Nira Park and Kenton Allen - for you poor saps that aren't in The Biz.

You touchy alien lifeform you.

Well, back to Grownups. Unsurprisingly, I enjoy it. I don't laugh out loud often, but it's a good, relaxing half-hour where I can just sit and be entertained without needing to concentrate too hard.

What do you actually concentrate on? It seems to me your life is one big concentration-free zone?

Yes, yes it is.

I concentrate on the TV. What I mean is, I don't have to pay close attention in order to get the gags, see references to other shows/films/etc - it's totally self-contained. Doesn't require any effort to watch it.

Surely the logical conclusion of this type of philosophy is that you'd really like to be in a coma because you get to lie in bed all day and be fed through a tube. So much less hassle than actually living.

Laughing out loud

Grownups is still going because of Sheridan Smith's boobs. Man, each episode they get more bouncy, that's why Grownups is still on. lol
