Classic example today of people trying to run our lives - Smack The Pony gets a 'recommended' star in the Daily Mail. But why? It's hardly ground-breaking comedy. In fact, I'd go as far as saying it's not even funny. I think it may once have been funny. I remember something once that made me chuckle. But it's gone the way of Big Train and run out of steam. The Daily Mail telling me it is funny and I have to watch it is almost wartime public deception. It's not edgy, satirical, funny, all the things that make comedy worth watching. I might put on my old copies of The Day Today - I'd buy that for a dollar!

YES! Now that is comedy! Although the last one was a tad disappointing.

Well I can't comment on this series but I watched the first series and I didn't think it was funny at all. The song at the end of every episode was painful to watch. If they need help on how to make a song funny, then they should go watch the French and Saunders impression of Bjork. Now THAT was hilarious!

Hold on, I remember one funny bit in Smack the Pony. "For she's a jolly good fellow, for she's a jolly good fellow--" BANG!! "Oh sorry I though she was someone else." That's it!!

Some people like it, others (like me) think it's a waste of space. The Office is good though, I haven't heard a bad word said about it yet.

Everytime I've channel hopped onto Smack The Pony, it's made me laugh

Just today my mate said it should be called "Smack The Director" as it's so awful (in his opinion)

Gimme gimme gimme is utter toss, I agree.

Chewin' the Fat isn't much better either.

I haven't had chance to see Smack The Pony yet or The Office, but I do intend to have a look at some point.

Give me an episode of Faulty Towers or Only Fools and Horses any day!

Did any of you ever see Los Dos Bros? It's about two brothers who go to a psychiatrist and tell her about their lives. It's got Hugo from 'Smack' in it. Damn funny.
