I know that, sure, thats not really my point, its more about over negativity in gen . . .ah, never mind . . . Teary

I know, I know. I agree. People are far too critical. Their passion for writing has overtaken their passion for comedy, it seems.

Some contributors seem to have an odd perception that there are people on these forums who don't like comedy. That doesn't really make any sense.

Well, they probably just read a lot of the posts and come to the most obvious conclusion. ;)

I agree, it's a bad idea for writers to venture into these (or any other) forums, in case they actually do listen to us.

Well I don't agree with that. Some of the stuff we say could actually help. A lot of the time, people can't see problems with their own work until it's pointed out to them. Where better to go to see what people who watch the show actually think about it, and how to make it better? People do read the site and do take note of what we're saying. I just hope that they can use it for the better.

Hah!

Anyway. We're really going off-topic a bit here now, even if it is still perfectly valid on a comedy message board.

So. Peep Show.

Peep Show is shit.

I hated Marks hair in this episode. What were the writers thinking? Ruined the whole series for me. This weeks was great actually.

I was exaggerating the point, I do think they should visit and just take what they read as it is and not to heart.

Anyway, yeah Peep Show... love it.

Great to see Ingrid Oliver on the show. She's absolutely hilarious.

Oh, is that who if was. I thought I recognised her. She was great in the Biffovision pilot.

It's weird, but I find it's often the most hardcore fans who are the most critical of anything. I visited a Dr Who forum full of people who are literally nuts about the show, but they were pulling every episode to tiny tiny pieces.

Anyway, this week's Peep Show was absolutely brilliant ;)

I agree, I've watched it three times now. I just love the voice Mark puts on when telling Jez about how he was about to allocate him his allowance Laughing out loud

He goes all evil Bond villain!

It was funny how Jeremy shouted "F**k off!", when his mum's boyfriend suggested he was 35, because I'm pretty sure that's Robert Webb's real age.

"You brought gunny Jeremy?!"

Loved this weeks episode, although the ending was a bit flat, but it had plenty of great moments throughout. I just wish something would go right for Mark once because seems to be going wrong all the time for him.

Full on sci-fi geeks are the worst; Dr Who geeks perhaps the worstest. Worsterest. Thats not a word.
