It's a sad state of affairs when one-joke series like this [Directors Commentary] and Monkey Dust get hailed as 'comic genius' simply on account of feeling vaguely 'new' (as opposed to, y'know, 'funny').
Charlie Brooker, The Guardian, 14th February 2004Director's Commentary is part of that tradition of smart-arse people talking over other people's programmes (Harry Hill's TV Burp, Beavis and Butthead, Animal Magic) by way of sundry E. L. Wisty diversions ("I've always said the thyroid is the cruellest gland"), and brightens up ITV's Wednesday-night schedules like a bunch of stolen daffodils.
