I've only seen one advert for it.

Adam Buxton is looking goooood in this.

"Hi hi!"

He made me LOL alot in Hot Fuzz. It's a shame he had little screentime and got deaded by part of a church.

I liked that.

I thought that was great, and unlike last weeks was all ready set up for a series. Good silly stuff.

Personally I thought it was terrible but there you go. There was the occasional amusing moment as you'd expect with the people involved but it felt to me more like a bunch of friends mates having a laugh than a genuine attempt to make decent television.I really hope that they don't turn it into a series.

its hard to judge on one episode but i think i liked it.
it made me laugh a couple of times and they got the characters established.
my preference in something like this is to have unknowns. thats one of the reasons why peep show, friends etc are easier to get going - because you have no preconceptions about the characters/actors.
with this, because i knew everyone from something else it sort of affected how i viewed their characters and it made it harder to accept.
i couldnt work out where i'd seen the horation character before. and the blonde woman he was murdering.

Horatio was in Smack the Pony and Green Wing.
The blonde woman was in the film Festival.

That's what I know them from, but they are probably both from lots of other things too.

I forgot it was on. Woops.

Whoops.

Surely?

I don't think that there's a standardises spelling, is there? Either is equally acceptable IMO. More of a sound than a real word anyhoo. *shrug*

And Hot Fuzz, The Class (coming to C4) and...

RENFORD REJECTS! Oh, yes! Cool

Now that is old school.

This was total crap and a huge disappointment. It had massive potential, written by Bain & Armstrong, starring Reece Shearsmith and Adam Buxton...but it was just...shit. Where were the jokes?

Agreed - huge disappointment considering the expectation, great concept and cast. Few jokes and clunky story with amaturish characters.
But the first series of Blackadder was relatively poor when compared against what came after, so I guess you never can tell.

I laughed all the way through.
Is it me or you lot that's gone mental?

Only a couple of jokes fell flat, like Adam doing that old "Did I say that out loud" line.
Wish people would stop using that.

I laughed all the way through too.
