you all seem like the type of person to sit in a dark room being miserable waiting for something to happen it might not be the best show in the world but it is amusing and you try finding something better to do when theirs nothing else on unless you like watching rubbish documentaries or some rubbish eastenders copycat, eastenders is bad enough without some cheap copycat

Good to have you aboard, Mr Dawson. Or do you prefer Tim?

Laughing out loud

Hi Tim

I like the occasional pint, unless I'm watching 'Coming of Age', when I get through a whole keg.

Yes, credit where it's due. BBC3 is responsible for 'Gavin and Stacy' 'The Mighty Boosh' and even stuff like 'Ideal'. But it's a tiny percentage of output.

The answer is to stick with the producers who made the above and move the others to CBeebies where their target audience is already.

Then I must be Tim Dawson, because I've found myself quite liking it. Hell, everyone who likes it is Tim Dawson!

Unimpressed

BBC Three is absolute gash.

In the 5 or 6 years its been on it has only produced 3 hits in The Mighty Boosh, Little Britain and Gavin and Stacey.

The rest of the output is like this "comedy"; pathetic mindless drivel aimed at impressing idiots, children, and children who are idiots.

The Smoking Room was BBC3, wasn't it? That was good. And was The Visit on BBC3? That was okay... The rest is pretty forgetable, though.

You've long since ceased to matter. Unimpressed

If only there was a si- Oh bugger it, yes, they both were.

Although it's BBC Three, not BBC3.

What about Pulling and Nighty Night?

Pulling - excellent. Nighty Night - no. Just twattish.

There's lots of good stuff on BBC Three, and lots of shit.

Just like any other channel.

Imagine that!

Enough to warrant its slice of the license fee. And has it really blooded a lot of exciting new talent? Discuss.

Yes.

For better or worse; it's led to big-to-biggish things for Lucas and Walliams; Corden of Gavin And Stacey fame, the Boosh boys, and so Matt Berry, Sarah Horgan (is it?) who was a newish writer with Pulling. And I'm sure plenty of others who I can't currently remember.

Sharon Horgan, yes.

Wasn't Monkey Dust on BBC Three as well? Swiss Toni?

And Snuff Box. :)

Of course it has!

I really like BBC4 and BBC3.
Even if not every single show on their schedule is to my taste.
