His (unexplained/irrational) dislike of legendary British comedian Tony Hancock...

Eh? How can you remember his dislike, and not remember the reason?

I missed an episode. Was it explained then?

It was only mentioned once. In episode 1.

Lomax: D'you like Tony Hancock?
Tea Leaf: Dunno who he is, bruv.
Lomax: Good. That's what I told 'em. I don't want his name mentioned in this house again. Not after what he did to Sid James.

Oh yeah...

So it's an irrational dislike only.

Perfectly rational.

Odd, but rational.

Agreed. Unless their storyline is particularly good. They need to be cut short. >_<

How come there's been so much talk about the dwarves, but so few gags like this?
Why's no-one else mentioned low wages, short staff, little acting talent...?

Clichés need to be wheeled out on such occasions.

I have bought the DVD of Psychoville. It has 2 discs with 7 episodes spread across them, with the special features being:

Commentary on all eps
A behind the scenes feature
A split screen option thing for ep 4
An interview
A photo gallery

Commentary on all eps

Ooh. Who does the commentary, is it just Reece and Steve?
Does anyone else join them, like Mark Gatiss for his episode?
Probably not.

Sadly, Mark doesn't join them. (I was hoping he would turn up too)

The last episode is just Reece and Steve but on the others they are joined by either Matt Lipsey or Jon Plowman. Justin Davies(sp?) turns up on one of the episodes too.

The commentaries are a bit more muted than The League commentaries but there are some interesting insights and a few giggles along the way. (The other idea they had for the dwarf storyline was seriously disturbing!)

Heh!
I do love a League commentary with all 4 of them, so I'm sure these will be at least half as enjoyable.

They make a great team! I love it when Mark says something he probably shouldn't and Reece says disdainfully 'Oh Marrrrk', or the ever sensible Jeremy will pip in with 'you can't say that'. And Steve is just chuckling away in the background.

*runs off to listen to a League commentary*

Heh, especially if it's concerning Jamie Bell.

Laughing out loud "He's got a tight little body"

Oh dear. I'm actually quoting the commentary.

Heh. Chalk it up!
