Starts tonight, midnight, ITV1.

I'm not on until week 8. Nov 17th, I think.

Anyway, if you do happen to watch it tonight, and you saw any of the last series, let me know what you think.

Personally, from what I've seen the change of format improves the show no end, well, the quality of the sketches. It's still low budget, but hopefully now funnier.

I hope not. Or I hope people don't think I'm crap. Though I did send them a couple more sketches (we had to send 7, they chose 4) which were funnier than those selected.

One of my sketches is based on a misheard word though...

And yes, they did it in the first series too, add dialogue to the end of some of the sketches, drawing them out longer than necessary.

My name is Ben Langley, but I'm not on until 17th November. That date might not be right, but I'll know for sure nearer the time.

Anyway, I need you all to vote for me, because that way I've got more of a chance to get more stuff looked at.

My career depends on you!

The people last night were utterly poor, the sketches were mainly based on bad word play.

And they don't seem to know how to stop a sketch, at least 5 times i counted some more unnecessary dialogue way after the actual pun had ended.

What's your name, Meka, and are you as crap as them?

Nah, they repeated series 1 at least twice.

I did see some of those sketches at the showing I went to.

Whether you like it or not is not really that important, just as long as you vote for one of my sketches when the time comes. ;o)

This can't be only the second series, it must be around the eighth by now.

Never really understood the appeal of Bo Selecta...

... but then again I don't sniff glue, so I wouldn't.

It's just as bad as it used to be!

The worst writer was the woman, two of her sketches were based on terrible puns...the worst being 'the face that lunched a thousand chips' which really made no sense as a sketch.
