Yep. Nice and scapegoaty.

He's one of the writer-performers of the excellent Cowards, I believe.

They're not really that obsessed with film then, are they? Certainly not to the degree that they should boast about having this (somewhat niche, I imagine) disorder.

Anyway. I enjoyed it. A good example of how it is possible to shoot a realistic sitcom in real-time and not make it dull, dragging, or unfunny.
I watched this on iPlayer before.
I shan't be watching it again... I just don't care for it at all. 
Quote: Tim Walker @ September 7 2010, 3:00 PM BSTIt's good to see BBC Three trying something different in their sitcom output.
It was like an episode of Two Pints shot by a film school graduate who had gone through the script with a red pen cutting out all the jokes.
I liked this more than I expected, I thought the sister was the best character.
Apparently it is the most watched sitcom debut ever on BBC Three. Didn't expect that.

For the record, Simon Pegg doesn't run/own Big Talk Productions, that honour falls to producers Nira Park and Matthew Justice, who founded it.

They've also got a Christmas Special planned where I go round there and watch them eat their turkey.
I do find increasingly that the characters depicted in comedy programmes are less a source of amusement to me than the people I meet in real life.
I could only stand 10 minutes before switching off.
Elliot and I watched it and quite enjoyed it! He said that he'd let me eat the dropped toast and laugh at me afterwards, so I guess it's accurate to a point, too. I just thought it seemed really natural. Even having seen Russel Tovey in so many other things, I didn't get distracted and keep thinking of him being a werewolf or any other roles he's taken, as I am sometimes won't to do when I've seen actors in lots of things. Easy and enjoyable, even if it's not genius.
I did think of him being a werewolf once, I couldn't help it.
He used to be a werewolf but he's in a niche so called sitcom aimed at 20somethings (which at the moment seems to be polarsing opinion although it did get higher than average viewing figures) nowoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
