Yes it is. Or no it isn't. I'm basically saying what you've put above is quite wrong. 
Psychoville - Series 1 Page 12
Aw, I guess you need a new hangout now Reggie Perrin's finished...
Finally watched it on iPlayer and thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's a bit like a warped version of a 'Ripping Yarns' story.
Obviously loads of LOG style stuff, but enough difference to make it fresh.
But why, oh, why (Dear BBC) did they not stay away from the 'menacing party' clown/children's entertainer.
It just feels 'done'.
Uncle Buck (John Candy "Get in your mouse, and go!") springs to mind.
I can't imagine there weren't concerns raised by people involved.
He was a particulary horrid clown - and it did make me laugh - but I wouldn't have gone there.
Overall, though, one to watch - very much my cup of tea.
Loved it!
Really filmic with great music and some splendid characters. looking forward to seeing how they develop it. Didn't have a problem with Mr Jelly. You could tell Mr Shearsmith was having a damn good time in the role!
I thought it was good and at the very least it didn't tarnish the comedy masterpiece that is The League Of Gentlemen.
To me this show is showing the world how great comedy can be. Interesting, believable and mad characters coupled with a great plot, what more do you really need.
I'm not sure about showing how great comedy can be.
But it's nice to see writers being given the licence to do their own thing and not be constrained by what anyone else might say you should be doing.
I quite enjoyed it, and admired them for trying to get away with the "Cash in hand joke"
I'll definitely tune in next week to see what happens.
yes I'm sure.

Anything else spring to mind?
What is this "cash in hand" joke?

When Mr Jelly gets thrown out by the parents of the birthday girl, he still demands to be paid. The mother gives him one of his prosthetic hands with the money in it, saying, "Here. Cash in hand."

Did anyone else see that coming a mile away??
I still laughed like a mental patient though. 
Quote: shaggy292 @ June 19 2009, 10:47 AM BSTBy the way, did anyone else notice that as the credits were rolling for the programme before, it read "coming up...Pyschoville"?
Yes, I'm hot on things like that.
Well, I recorded it and watched it last night. Sat through it and then erased it from the hard drive. Not a laugh in sight. Utter nothingness. If you or I wrote that it would not even be commissioned. I won't be coming back for more.

I love it when people say that just because they didn't happen to like the show.

I don't see what everyones problem is with that joke! 
I didn't see it coming at all. I don't believe anyone did. I think they're mistaking that for afterwards groaning and saying 'Oh that was an obvious joke'. Which is different.
