Does any on watch this?

Does any on watch this?

I started watching it a few weeks back as there aint much else on late night. Last episode i saw was a bit weird with loads of swearing and one of the main characters dying (well, getting shot anyway)

I catch it on Sky here and there.
I really like it, and other people I've come across who've seen it like it too. I always see repeats so I've never caught an episode in any coherrent order, but I always enjoy it.

I like Johnny's rap about his biscuits! :-)

That's the best bit I've seen.

Shame the rest of it's pretty ****.

I much prefer something like Spaced.

has it's moments (the pasty bikino was genius).
you can tell it was written by a student though, especially as all the later episodes are just thin episodes written round obscure 80's cartoon references.
it's on late when no-brainer tv is always welcome and it beats "generic US sitcom 4,265"

I'd rather watch The Young Ones or Bottom though.

Agreed. Plus the fact that Spaced is godly.

He did survive. Didn't you watch series five on BBC3?

Spaced is the only good UK sitcom for years. Everything else has been rubbish, Two Pints... included - it's terrible. I think each episode goes like this (from what I've seen):

Swear
Gurn
Gurn
Sex joke
Drink
Gurn (insert swear word)
Drink
Sex joke
"Hey, didn't he used to be in The Royle Family?"
Sex joke
Gurn
Fin

Not my sort of thing at all, I prefer the gurning that comes with Spaced.

There are some good american sitcoms - Curb Your Enthusiasm, for example, is utter, utter genius, but it's hidden away here and poorly advertised. The Smoking Room is good too, but people get confused when they wear suits and think it's The Office. Even though it's nothing like The Office. If you put both down on paper, The Smoking Room would read like Shakespeare in comparison.
