Considering the quality of their food I think they had the last laugh.
Yeah thought I'd take a punt at getting the name right . . .

Crazy talk! It was a mighty tasty burger . . .

Coincidentally, on the DVD commentary to The Armando Iannucci Shows, Armando himself points out that he was surprised to find out there were two 'n's in his surname.

It's a sign of where we've reached in society that a "handmade" burger is a major selling point. 
Yeah, two n's AND two c's is a bit greedy . . .

To be fair I could't really tell the difference from the robotmade kind. I just like burgers . . .

Anyway, in what way were you "standing up" to this Hamburger company? Surely they either were willing to sell you a burger or they weren't?

Ah, well. I placed the order which included a smokey barbeque burger. The handmade woman taking the order thought I'd asked for a portion of smokey barbeque relish, which arrived at the table instead of my burger. So I got a refund on the relish, and my burger for free . . .
There was a handmade woman now? 
I could see fingerprint marks on her flesh. It's all a bit sinister there . . .
Two in Clover, great gem of a sitcom, yet not many people remember it.
Constant Hot Water with Pat Phoenix.
Only joking. It was the kind of programme I'd see as a kid that could make me depressed within two minutes.
Soap.
Lucky Jim.
Shelley.
Absolutely.
I'm sure there's more, but I've either forgotten or underrated them.

For some reason I didn't mention this after remembering it was released on DVD. So I'll second it now.

It was alright. Not watched it in a few years, but I don't recall thinking it was anything particularly special.
It was Rik and Aide being Rik and Ade, which is no bad thing really.
Quote: Griff @ November 17 2009, 1:46 PM GMTYes, I thought Respectable was very funny.
I actually looked past the decent writing and entertaining characters and saw it had a nice bit of flesh in it too.
