Sorry but why is this in comedy and not sitcom? Regardless of whether individuals think it is funny or not it is still classed as a sitcom.
Anyways, I'm not resurrecting this thread because its been brought back to life anyhow. Amanda Steadman has revealed that they are already into filming for series 2 which is good news for people like me who liked it.
The people who didn't should just agree to disagree on this just like we all do with comedies.
Well I think I started this off in the wrong place and no-one could be arsed to move it.

So you didn't ressurect it then?
Anyway I'll look forward to the second series - with Alison Steadman.
I won't actually be watching it WITH her though.

Well no, as the show isn't 'dead' if its coming back soon. So I'm continuing with new info.
OK then.
I thought you meant ressurect the thread which you have in effect done.

That's David's fault for starting this thread in the wrong place. Anyway, now moved.
Yeah, but it was then moved, and moved back again. And now yet again!
I know - I do admit my heinous crime.
Inflict on me whatever punishment you deem appropriate - except pain.
We can keep it in the sitcom thread providing we add an h to the the word sitcom. Series 2? Between the first series of G and S and Roman's Empire are there any more Jesus jokes left?

I know I can't believe that. Or maybe I can it is the Comedy Awards after all, their decisions are hardly correct most of the time. I do hope Not Going Out beats it though in the categories where they are both nominated.

Well they can never be right or wrong as comedy is about opinions, hence this thread. While I liked GandS, it goes to show how few successful comedies were around this year to compete with it. I'm surprised IT Crowd and Lead Balloon didn't get more nominations, especially for best TV Comedy.
Well deserved too, a really great show. It's a billion times better than Peep Show or Star Stories, so I hope they take Best Comedy. Best New Comedy is tight because from the bits I've seen, Not Going out and Lead Balloon are very good.
James Corden deserves the newcomer award.
