British Comedy Guide

Are you yearning for more GW? Page 2

On a Friday? and I was 14 and 15 at the time

But it was after 9 o'clock.

I don't know - the youth of today!

I've got to be honest, although series 2 was still very funny and had some memorable comedy moments, I think I followed it more as a soap than a sitcom. I don't know what was missing in that series, but most people seem to agree that it wasn't a patch on the first in terms of how funny it was.
I think with surreal humour there is always a very fine line between a joke being hilarious and it leaving the viewers thinking 'wtf?'. Maybe S2 missed the mark a little too often in this respect?

I would like to see a spin-off of some sort, but then I'd really miss the characters that were left out. I could watch Statham and Boyce in that lecture room all day long though!

Hi. Thanks for joining. Good question! Last I heard from the publishers it was supposed to be out next month, but I notice Amazon have since cancelled their February listing which makes me think it has been delayed again :(

re Mogadon Mac.

Well, come on Aaron, he was rather a sanctimonious git and rather dull much of the time. And I always felt that there was a more sinister side to him, as though there was something he wanted to hide about himself - past drug/booze problem, perhaps? Always felt there was something that Holly could have blackmailed him about.

Do you think I need to get out more?

Fair enough. But what the hell is this 'Mogadon' thing? Am I missing some kind of non-London slang or something?

Oh good grief no - I always thought that mogadon was some sort of drug to sedate people. I always use the word to describe people who are really dull. Isn't mogadon that at all? Have I been getting it wrong all these years?

Mogadon's a vet's tranquilliser for large animals...

Buggered if I know!

Like the voice of David Attenborough to humans?

Indeed so.

I suppose it's common knowledge that the whole of GW is available on Virgin cable On Demand service..?

That does involve having a subscription to Virgin Media though.

TRUFAX! time now. Branson's realised what a mistake ntl was, and is trying to sell up and get out of it ASAP. Expect another rebranding within the next couple of years.
