"I'm With Stupid" off to good start

New sitcom "I'm With Stupid" made a successful debut on Sunday night. The first episode, which aired on BBC Three at 10pm, attracted 367,000 viewers. The show follows the unlikely friendship between Sheldon, a homeless man, and Paul, a wheelchair-user, after they meet one evening in a local police station.

In comparison, ITV2's much hyped new US sitcom, Entourage, pulled in 168,000 viewers in the same time slot, whilst a second installment screened immediately afterwards was watched by just 95,000.
