You sure do love the word "nepotistic" Alfred. Almost as much as you hate the semites and homos. What a douchenozzle.

Although if I put an empticon in the middle it'll look like it's just floating there in space.
Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ August 5 2010, 8:37 AM BSTLet me say I have absolutely nothing against either 'types', I was commenting on the BBC's notoriously exclusive, familial and downright nepotistic culture, as many have alleged it to be. It is no big secret that the afore mentioned 'types' seem to be everywhere in the corporation. Amstell is a talented presenter, but it appears to me already that he cannot act, and his material seemed insular and about his own celebrity life. This is self indulgence, surely?
Do we really need another celeb bioprog that is about as detached from most of our lives as you can get, and already done to death? And did Amstell get this prime sitcom slot through his his fantastic manuscript, or because he handed it in himself to one of his friends at the BBC? I think I make a valid point sir, madam, other members, but am willing to be disagreed with. Good morning.
You haven't SEEN any of it yet!
How can you justify getting this angry about it when you have absolutely no idea of its quality?

That's BCG!

Brave attempt, though. You've certainly earned my respect.
As for the sitcom, I never really 'got' Simon Amstell on Buzzcocks, but am willing to give him a second chance with his sitcom. There, that's big of me, isn't it?
