I think this is hilarious and class, ace

Much better than last week, I really enjoyed it; and Joey was great.

That wasn't exactly Not Going Out laugh-a-minute, but where it was funny, it was very funny. Some wonderful, big laughs for me. Very much enjoyed it, and as I predicted, an almost totally differently toned and paced show to last week.

This fell very flat for me this week. There was little plot and just didn't gel for me at any point. Le Blanc had some good lines, but that was about it. Also, it's got a very odd feel as it looks vaguely US (although not as cinematic), but doesn't feel like US or UK writing.

I agree, it was better then last week. The Part where she was going berzerk about the Gate made me laugh abit.

I'm obviously missing something here, not sure I can be bothered watching any more.

I think my view on the show is best summed this way: the funniest moment in the whole thing was when Tamsin Greig said "c**t".

I'll give it one more chance as I didn't mind it last week.

Though to be fair, it isn't trying to be.

You really preferred last weeks? I thought the first episode was really weak.

Slowly, one episode at a time, the crowds follow where Mrs Anorak led...

It was pretty good this week, last week was pants.

What he said.

Let's hope next Week will be better...

A definite improvement over last week, and Le Blanc was good. It's still hard to care about the writers, though, or their shitty Bafta winning show. And Grieg getting offended by someone laughing at a Tourrettes documentary seemed lame.

It wasn't a criticism.
