Lunch Monkeys - Series 1

New show coming to BBC Three. Looks pretty bad, will anyone be watching?

Terrible title. Even if it were a show very specifically about primates and what they eat between 12-2pm, it would still be a terrible title.

At least 'Admin' had some sort of real world, does-what-it-says-on-the-tin aspect to it. Whereas "lunch monkeys" is a phrase which I am pretty sure no-one has ever used ever. As a rule, it's best not to name your show after a collequialism which you've just invented yourself.

"Hey everyone, I've just written a sitcom about builders. What's it called? 'Wall Shitters', of course."

:D
