Is it just me or does Simon Farnaby look like a failed cloning experiment involving Alexander Armstrong? 
Well it aint great and it aint shit. It sort of comes between the two. Grit. Really.
Well, the country does need its Grit supplies replenishing at the moment, so more power to its elbow.

I prefer Sheat.

Yep.
To me that was certainly a little step up from episode one, I quite enjoyed it really. All the 'how it is to be Australian' examples made me laugh. "Have you ever tried to rape a crocodile?"

Those were the highlights, definitely. I had a good old laugh at those.
They were ace.
Was your fifth birthday present a car door?
(or something).
"Have you ever been run over by a drunk driver whilst in bed?" (Or something like that)
"Have you ever worn shorts to a funeral?"
Lasted 10 minutes this week, and that's only because I couldn't be arsed to reach for the remote.
This is awful, the whole thing is as lazy as I am.
Plus the sets, so 80s, it was making me cringe. Iain Lee isn't an everyman, he should play more of a twat, y'know play up his strengths.
I really enjoyed this week's. I think Iain's everyman does work.
Iain's the everyman? I thought that was Buxton's role.
Blimey, this sitcom really is demolishing the walls of convention.

Buxton's supposed to be more of a pathetic idiot, isn't he? And Lee the more normal character.

Perhaps this lack of character clarity is half of the problem with the programme.
