Yeah isn't it just essentially a sequence of MIcheal Mcintyre-esque bores coming on and saying shit like, "oooh what's up with low energy lightbulbs, they're not the same as the lightbulbs we used to have are they?". For an entire fucking hour.

as far as I can tell the audience are so numbed out their skulls on prescription painkillers he might as well just wank into the crowd whilst the tomorrow never dies soundtrack plays on loop.

Or Jam for the absolute furthest end of that spectrum.

I meant Jam was as leftfield as they go. At no point did I say that it was similar to The Mighty Boosh...

Most of the obvious ones seem to have been mentioned - shout to those coming with the obscurities - gonna check Cowards Jim!

Given that it's a pre-watershed "family" show, the first couple of series of this are absolutely brilliant. I'm not sure I've seen it in a couple of years though.

PhoneShop took me by surprise the other week. I'd written it off based on the trailers and gave an episode a go because of a comment on SNH... it's fucking hilarious! Might have to go back and watch the first series!

Absolute Power is even funnier post-hacking scandal... always surprised how few people have seen it.

That the Steven Fry spin doctor show? Always thought was amazing when it was on, might need to give it a revisit

Peep Show is a must!!

peep show and alan partridge are the two greatest comedies hands down, curb is the funniest american comedy but doesn't come close to them 2.

Yeah, him and John Bird (Bremner, Bird and Fortune). Brilliant it is!

What about Monkey Dust? So fucking dark but awesome at the same time. Same with league of Gentlemen

I'm surprised this doesn't get repeated or show up in the iPlayer more.

Psychoville too...
