I wrote this last night but resisted the temptation to post it mindful of the fact that some drink had been taken and I wished to see if I still felt the same today. I do...

I watched the first one of these in the series and found it not too bad...but this tonight was bilge. What has happened since ep. 1? Never saw ep. 2 so can't comment on that. Was it any better? Surely it couldn't have been any worse than this one.
Tonight was (IMO) shockingly poor from the point of view of the quality of its material, and sadly for me, I just found it painfully unfunny, bereft of any decent ideas and bordering on the juvenile most of the 30 minutes.
The sketches, such as they were, seemed beaten into submission by spinning out gossamer-thin ideas and letting them run on for well past their sell-by dates.
It was very sad to see two excellent performers going through the motions, working with and contributing to the creation of woefully substandard nonsense.
Mrs Blenks commented that surely had M & W's friends and family seen this prior to transmission then they would have advised that it should never have been allowed to see the light of day.
