Quote: Tim Walker @ September 24 2010, 12:52 AM BSTJust seen the trailer for the next show - MM going on about the difficulties of using taps. Brilliantly inventive. There was me thinking that, on the whole, taps are generally mundane and easy-to-use - then MM makes me question my whole (previously indifferent) attitude to the "tap situation" in this country by pointing out that - actually, yes! - people have massive problems using taps. Do watch this trailer (I've Sky+'d it for repeat viewing) - this really is cutting-edge humour from a man at the top of his game. Next time you're having trouble using a tap, at least you'll be able to remember MM and have a smile - instead of (as usual!) pulling your hair out in frustration and anger.
I do hope that, in the show proper, he really expands into the everyday craziness surrounding mixer taps.
Or how about those taps where you think one is hot and the other is cold, but they're the other way round from normal? Or when you get no hot water from either tap!? How about those taps with washer problems/insufficient water pressure - where you turn and turn the tap and you only get a trickle? What's that about!? What about those taps in pub toilets that you have to press to start, but then when you release the pressure they stop? - They make washing your hands really difficult - got to be a good 10 minutes in that, Mr M? You could point out that "tap dancing" actually involves no use of taps - though that might be a bit esoteric and experimental for a mainstream show?
Taps, eh...?
Yes, taps.
I think you're being completely over the tap!
