Ergo nothing of the sort, read what I said in context of his comment re giving hope to wannabees! 
It was telling people that they had no right to find something funny I found a little odd!
Mind you there were some really cracking lines in Holby back in the day!
As an aside - is there a sitcom/comedy show that is brilliant? Is there one that didn't overstay its welcome or have bits you'd were rather not in it? I like NGO and it's probably my favourite show at the moment, but I'm not blind to its misfires.
I think what's odd about the critical comments here are that they seem to be totally immune to the humour, whereas the show itself is 30 minutes of non-stop wisecracks and one-liners (unlike anything else on telly).

Sounds like an excellent idea for a new thread.

Neither have I. For those exact reasons!

Hmmm... Yes, Prime Minister went off a bit, but Minister is good, I'll agree to that. The others, it would be churlish to dispute 
And I LOVE Holby City! It's the only other thing I watch!

The trailers are quite sexy. 
Even when they made the ginger lady look like a big spider?

I just want to hug you now, you know that?

She's much better in this series. She's grown on me. The bum helped.
