Horne & Corden Page 31
A horrible image...
I can't help thinking Corden licks Horne in his sleep.

*The BCG forum shudders with horror at the very thought*
Quote: Matthew Stott @ July 11 2009, 12:41 PM BSTYou two are meanies.
In what way? They plaster their name over their self-penned comedy sketch show, they're fair game, same as anyone else. No-one's being genuinely personally offensive to them here.

In a being a meanie sort of a way. I identify very strongly with the fat one. Maybe. Plus I was only joking.
Ooh hoisted by your own petards! I think we should stop picking on primeministers, I identify with the ugly, Scots moron one.

You mean you didn't mean it? So this is how it feels when someone else is pretending?
It feels horrible I shall never pretend to be something I'm not again.
From The Mail On Sunday 2 section today ('The Zapper' by Miles Goslett)...
Bad news for James Corden and Matthew Horne, co-stars of Gavin & Stacey. Their BBC Three comedy sketch show has been axed after only one series. Thousands have already been spent on pre-production for the second series but, according to a programme source, this loot may as well have been set on fire. Critics were never wild about the Horne & Corden stock material, which included skits about fat people and gay war reporters. One rated it 'excruciating - as funny and as puerile as a sixth-form review'. That's why it was on BBC Three.
Not the comedy world's most earth-shattering news, but...
It's surprising that they spent any money on pre production without being sure of a recommision.
Might have been cancelled after commissioning, such as was the case with After You've Gone Series 4.
(In fact, checking our guide, I see that the BBC were in "advanced discussions" about a second series.)
It had at times a million viewers which is a helluva lot for a digital only channel.
I guess my problem was as much with the people he watched that crap as with those who appeared in it.

And that cheered me.
Yeah, whoever first, obviously not me.
eh? and why are you responding 7 months late?
Woot!
