Why do I get the feeling that this year will be the last outing for the 'Comedy Showcase' strand?
Actually Tim, Channel 4 have already set aside about £1.5 million* to commission six more pilots next year for another run of Comedy Showcase in 2011. If you think about it, they got three full series out the first one, and at least two out of this one... so far (I suspect Guantanamo Phil will be commissioned too)... so it's actually quite a good investment for them.
(*Admittedly, I suspect this money is only available because of the cancellation of Big Brother)
