Here's a guide to the five comedies that will be making up BBC Two's spring / summer schedule (e.g. May - July)...
BBC Two - Spring / Summer 2009 Comedies
That woman in Krod Mandoon is far too sexy for it to be funny.
Thanks Mark. The schedule looks quite good.
In other news, India Beaufort was amazingly hot in Run FatBoy Run.
New series of Mitchell and Webb - hurrah! Also looking forward to Psychoville, I like it dark and twisted (my comedy that is).
I was going to make a crude joke about the chick in Krod Mandoon with references to 'A Passage to India', but decided against it.
I'm looking forward to Down The Line, assuming they can translate it succesfully. The team behind it are certainly supremely talented. Not sure about Psychoville. Hopeful, but slightly concerned it might just be a "Gosh, aren't we dark" retread of League of Gentlemen.

As long as it's not a clone of...er Clone, then I'll be a happy chappy.
Just had a quick look at the Psychoville clip - great! "Is David there?" - sound familiar?
Looking forward to Down The Line as well
That Pschoville clip was great! Very much looking forward to that one.

You can say that again, Fat Stott.

I'll definitely give Psychoville a try.
But I'm really looking forward to Mitchell & Webb.
I wonder if they will be doing any more radio shows as well.

They are doing a fourth series of ' . . . Sound.'
"Not sure about Psychoville. Hopeful, but slightly concerned it might just be a "Gosh, aren't we dark" retread of League of Gentlemen."
This is a harsh observation I think. Of all the people to accuse of just doing the same again, you cannot think that of them. They have never rested on their laurels - and in fact are some of the only comedy writers that don't just do the same joke week after week. It's probably not popular - their third series lost fans I think - but well done them for never churning out the same formula. I might be wrong of course - but so what if it's a re-tread? It's not like The League of Gentlemen is so over exposed. It's not been on for six or seven years has it!? I'm giving it a chance, before being "slightly concerned".
