Looked to me like he'd learned most of it by heart but there was an autocue off to the right that was keeping him straight.

I enjoyed it. Some very funny stuff; didn't even occur to me that some people might find bits offensive.

I quite liked this although it was a little long. I haven't seen Rufus Hound before, but rather enjoyed him. Some of his material seemed a little obvious, but his crueller gags were good.

Yeah, it was perhaps a tad too long wasn't it. I enjoyed it though - surprised in this age of TV execs being scared of ending up in the Daily Mail that some of the gags (e.g. the Diana & Jade Goody ones) made it into the broadcast though.

When's the 2001 edition on?

Very impressive, and funny. I like Hound even his kids comedy show is good.

Basically it was an intermittently funny show that was WAY too long. Hound was good enough, though at times I felt he was trying a 'how would Stewart Lee do this?' delivery.
