Quote: Aaron @ September 27 2010, 11:11 PM BSTA few good laughs, but after the excellent episode 2 it really felt lacklustre overall. None of those truly magical moments.
This, although I didn't even have any 'good laughs'. A few smiles though.
I suppose this is why comedy writing is such a difficult thing to do - I really don't understand what people who thought it was practically the funniest thing ever were seeing.
Quote: zooo @ September 28 2010, 10:56 AM BSTSloppy level of writing?
I do like it when amateurs critique successful TV writers...
Yeah, someone even had a go at Tim once

Not with the shorts though.
Were there shorts?

Ha!
Quote: David Bussell @ September 28 2010, 9:04 PM BSTMaybe, but I'm talking about out-and-out remakes, like Peep Show, Spaced and Red Dwarf.
Dear John..., Till Death Do Us Part and Steptoe & Son were all remade succsefully for the US market.
Who knew CBBC could be so dirty?
Enjoyable episode, but I am finding it increasingly contrived.
A few bits felt a little less realistic than I've come to expect (particularly Simon punching his own penis), but nevertheless a very funny episode with some proper laugh-out-loud and gross-out moments.
I loved the plant eating and the naked Simon.
Great episode, I laughed a lot.
The weeing was amazing.
That's happened to me before, I understand Will's disgust!
That was the best episode of the series so far for me, in terms of laugh out loud moments per episode and a lot of big laughs too. Some classic lines, one I will watch over and over no doubt. I do think that Simon's punching himself was a bit of an overreaction, I can understand his exasperation at such a moment but I sometimes think his character is a bit "over-acting" and "dramatic". Sad to see Tara go out of it though, she was a good character. I didn't see Carli in the 5th episode and the 6th is about camping so it looks like the remainder of the series and the movie even perhaps is set to focus on the boys and new one-off characters...
I think the girls have always been a bit weak. Certainly don't get given any funny lines. They're just there to create situations. So I don't really think it's missing anything when they're not there.
