British Comedy Guide

Touch Me, I'm Karen Taylor Page 3

In house writing. You can't fault it.

The thing is there are some really good writers here and elsewhere, who don't get the lookin some of these people get. I hated Man Stroke Woman, because I had seen some of the material a couple of years previously online on urban legend sites and other comedy sites, and it had clearly been lifted. I dislike that side of the business, it's lazy.

I would rather never turn in anything at all than turn in something I *know* is not mine or unoriginal.

Or just plain bad.

It's the thing at present to have these 'character' shows, and I think it's had it's day.

The best show of that kind was the Fast Show, and they bothered to vary it abit. Little Britain, Catherine Tate and apparently athough I have not seen it, Karen Turner seem to be just repetition.

The teletubbies do that and they don't get a sketch show.

I noticed that Brenda Gilhooly is one of the writers. She who created a Page 3 girl who was thick, was it? One of the sketches in this was called 'Glamorama' where big breasted thick girls talked about war.

i've only just seen the first one, which had some funny sketches and some not. It was better than Anconna's one. I prefer isolated sketches over character ones that just repeat. I'll give it a second go, although I'm a little less impressed that it had so many writers.

I thought the sketch where she walked out of the communal showers and said 'I love having a shower after a good workout. Its the best piss of the day.' was quiet funny.

Gave it another go and will probably call it quits now. Her looks remind me of Catherine Tate in places.

It goes from A to B well enough and it was a nice enough song at the end, but considering there are so many writers you'd think they'd be able to come up with different sketches. The woman in the wedding dress was in how many sketches? The two girls on the sofa was dull last week, yet we get a couple more helpings. The girl in the nightclub (do people really stop dancing?) was done to death, and the woman who says 'To me,it sounds like this.........' wasn't funny the first time and she's changed from a traffic warden to a policewoman.

I want to go from A to B. I've seen A and it's rubbish.

Just saw this for the first time last night. It wasn't bad, and there were a few laugh out loud moments, such as the forensics sketch (you could see the pay off coming a mile away, but it still made me laugh). That said, I can't see me tuning in again. It's just not strong enough.

i agree, that wee joke made me laugh too. sadly i think that was the only funny sketch. the rest just semmed to be one joke - "i'm a bit rough, i'm a bit old, i'm a bit fat and i'm a bit desperate for a shag."?

just watched the second one. There are some good sketches in there and some weak. I don't really like the one where she listens to someone and then goes 'I hear what you're saying, its like' and then she acts like all childish. Why is it being repeated with no extra comedy value? The same with the 'Man!' sketches. Only worth one sketch.

Then these weird self-indulgent dance endings. What is the point? But the good sketches still make it worth watching for me. They are trying new things so some are bound to fall my the wayside.

I really didn't like this show. I laughed at one part though the myspace where the woman gets mad at her celebrity friends and dont invite them to her party. I won't be watching it again.

I didn't really like this either. I felt that her characters were all too much the same. At least in shows like Titty Bang Bang, they go for a much greater variety of characters e.g. men, ugly people etc...

I'm just buffing metal!

Anyone seen this. I thought it was really good with the occasional bad or unoriginal sketch but I think its one of the better new comedy shows from BBC Three. Maybe it has something to do with the number of writers (fourteen) on the show. If you like Smack the Pony then I think you'll like this. The Cash Cow sketch is hilarious.

It's clearly ripped off from a recurrent dream I have called 'Touch Me, I'm Melanie C'. I shall not sue however. I shall just expect Mel to make it up to me in kind.

Michael I think we get it now. You're in love with Mel B Laughing out loud

I dont like it. Tried again. It is still quite boring.
Mr Monkhouse do you like any other women besides Mel C. I mean there must be some good taste buds in their somewhere. How about Kelly Brook.
As i know you are so fond of her I found you a cool pic for your perusal. Its the only one I have seen of her that i can say. WoW! She aint that bad.
