Very funny and slickly-directed.

(This and Bad Education are my 2012 favourites.)

It is NOT "very funny"! It's one of the worst "comedies", ever!

Am I mad or was Sunday's episode 95% reused sketches? I thought it might be a repeat outright but I'm sure some of the sketches were new and older ones had been plucked from different episodes.

I thought that too, especially the end song. That confused the bugger out of me.

It was meant to be a compilation of the "best" sketches from the previous series.

As our guide states, it was a highlights special, comprising sketches from Series 3.

I'm impressed you could tell the difference.

That's a use of "highlights" I wasn't previously familiar with.

I actually smiled at the sketch about the the old couples talking, I am so ashamed. Sorry Jinky, but I did think the rest of it stunk to high heaven.

I haven't seen a single episode of this yet but but I read so many bad comments on it that I'm getting curious. Could it be so bad that's its good again? A "CC"...cult crap?

No I'm afraid it's that bad it's just bad in my opinion.

I flipped back and forth with each episode, but in the end decided it's a new coming of TV sketch shows.

I like Aaron's Monty Python analogy, especially in relation to the episode that seemed to consist mostly of guns being fired in the air. As I said after that episode I wasn't sure if it was crap or genius, and I still don't know, which in a way makes it genius.

You lot are f**king dunces - the 'Me kyant believe it nat custard' Levi Roots pisstake is genius.

Just seen their Magnificent Sporting Moments, which is effectively a twist on the You've Been Framed format. It worked ok.

I felt it thoroughly void of any value or worth in any way whatsoever.
