Yes I guess you are absolutely right, one man's meat etc.
Specifically though I thought Shappi Khorsandi's (who I think it a good stand-up) "Shappi Talk" was pretty awful
Perhaps the BBC like to give her airtime, because she ticks so many PC boxes in terms of not only being that fairly rare thing, a female stand-up, but that extremely rare thing, a middle-eastern stand-up.

I'd love there to be more joke driven serials like Milton Jones (but then that's probably because I'm a joke writer and stand-up) in amongst the standard fare.
Also Milton Jones is pretty special in being able to make puns work so well.

Has anyone listened to Nick Hornby's new sitcom? It is very funny, though I am slightly dissapointed it wasn't about family life, a subject which Hornby excel's writing about in his novel.
If you're talking about The Richest Man in Britain, the perhaps readers here should be cautious, for the latest episode received very mixed reactions.
