Lee.

The tubby bloke. He looked really fat last series. And fancying one of the people in it cannot surely be the criteria by which you judge a sitcom Zooo!

Nikki was ace, as was Just Shoot me. I'll never get the affection for forumulaic British sitcoms that incestuosly reproduce themselves like some of kind 12 fingered mutants.

Dharma and Gregg was a bunch of bum.

What do you think people? Should we wind up the voting now that midnight has passed, as originally planned?

Maybe give it 10?

Any objections, raise them now type thing.

I want a laugh, not a wank.

Haha, fair enough. I didn't find it that objectionable, but no, it wasn't a good show at all.

I mean that's what I love about it, his character. I care what happens to him. I don't see it as a string of gags.

With a mirror you can do both.

I'm just glad no one misunderstood my use of the phrase 'Aaron's little head'.

Probably use of the word "little".

(See, this attempt at something even vaguely non-self-deprecatory will undoubtedly backfire.)

Yay! You should try it more often!

Sooty - How could we forget Vicar of Dibley? That really is shit.

Until that last f**king poverty episode, no!

Griff! Make it stop!

But it is, surely? Every line Lee has more or less is a gag; that's really what puts me off it a bit. I know that's supposed to be his character, but I do find it off putting and tiresome after a bit.

Given some of the sitcoms you're a fan of, I imagine TDT and BS are a bit subtle for you.

That could well be.

Oh god yes, that was pure evil.

Ooh I've just remembered another shocker, Babes In The Wood, despite the presence of Samantha Janus. I will echo Seefacts's view that you want a laugh not a wank from a sitcom. (That's actually a good line. Well done Seefacts.)

Samantha Janus is odd. That is all.

I'm going to go to 12.30 BSG time and then we will have an official list of the Likes and Dislikes of BSG.
