It looks like at least 1/10 to 1/5 of the viewers thought that Bumming Off was a real show. (Looking at the amount of Twitter references and scaling up.)

To be fair, whenever I catch a bit of Coming of Age my first thought is, "This is a piss take, right?"

I did wonder for about 15 seconds. Then I realised I was being an eejit.

Eldon would never appear in such shit!
*Remembers Missing Scene Pilot*
Actually, maybe he would.
That's why I realised I was being an eejit.
"Hang on, why is Kevin Eldon in this crap??.... OOOHHHHH."

As in "OOOHHHH this is a fake sitcom", not "OOOHHHH he did that Missing Scene thing".

I'd forgotten about that - got a big LOL from me, and indeed the only part of the show that did. Very, very funny.
