Come on for an ITV comedy it was great LOL.

It was though in all seriousness.

Ade Edmondson is great and the line of the night.

Women are only ever after one thing but they won't tell us what it is.

LOL
 

I thought it was really, really excellent. Coupled with Benidorm being much better than expected, it was a cracking night for ITV.

Ade Edmondson was as good as ever, it had some great one liners, some decent physical comedy and some nice chemistry. A very good start.
 

For ITV, certainly. Maybe it's just my hatred for main stream sitcoms.

That was the highlight for me. That and realising I had the same pokemon duvet when I was little.

So how old are you now, if you had such a duvet when you "were little"?

"I have 2 CD's. Phil Collins."
"What's the other?"
"Phil Collins Volume 2."

I think that's right. That was one of my other favourite lines.
 

The Best of Phil Collins (and vol 2).

I was hoping for something along the lines of "Volume two? I'm surprised they managed a first.", but alas, it never came.

I laughed most at the "Hand on cock" joke, but I'm immature.

Loved the little bit of 'Bottom' when he booted the Chinese bloke under the bed.

I was out so I missed it but going back to the radio show it did seem a bit cliched.

Was it any good?

I missed the first half, cos I got all caught up in Torchwood.
 

You saw the better part of the show then zooo. Basically though, he lives in the cupboard under the stairs in his kids' house since his wife chucked him out.

The "Women are after only one thing" line was all over the trailers so they knew it was a good line.

Avoided this thread until I'd watched it, which I just have. Came on expecting people to have slated it but it just goes to show comedy is a funny matter of taste! I thought it was pretty poor, to be honest, but it did make me think again about the value of an audience - without the laughter I think most lines would have died on their individual arses. It seems to be aiming for the My Family audience, which isn't me to be fair, and it might end up being quite successful.

And yes, I thought this was a very funny line as well:

...but Edmondson murdered it (ok, maybe manslaughter is fairer) by delivering it without a pause in the middle. It's funnier with a pause. Isn't it?

PAUSE

Isn't it?
