Christmas Comedy 2008

Looking forward to Jonathan Creek.

I've also just applied for tickets for Morecambe and Wise at Christmas.

Ooo, I hadn't seen that one. Verrrry tempting.

BBC1's (not particularly exciting) Christmas comedy trailer is here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTkiE6GdPBg

I would imagine the Gavin And Stacey Christmas Special is the Beeb's big Christmas comedy show. Certainly the one they've got the highest hopes for, if only as a boost for the upcoming Corden and Horne sketch show.

Hope The Royle Family isn't going to end up the mawkish poop that the last one did. That was just cringeworthy.

Aw, it was great. Funny and sad.

I enjoyed the last Royle Family, can't wait to see the new one.

My next door neighbour in London is Stuart Milligan, who plays the magician I think? Don't know as I've never seen it :) but he's definitely in the Christmas special

He's playing five different parts in Jersey Boys in the West End at the moment. Lovely guy.

Ah yes, Adam Klaus. :)

There were clearly defined Acts as I remember. I found one part really funny.

Nice one Mark, just checked it out. Looks good!

Is the Shooting Stars episode new?

Yes, IIRC.

3 days? That must be about 10 lines a day!
