Ha. It's not that I'm too judgmental, I just know how good comedy can and has been and I won't champion something that's mediocre just because it's slightly better than that other thing that's shit.

But it's not about "championing" it, unless you're their marketing director. :p It's just a reality that the majority of art produced – whether it be tv shows, movies, music, or some other form – is horrible. When a show comes along that's funny (all the way through or in parts), then it's just nice to appreciate it. Can my wife cook like a cordon bleu chef? No, but that doesn't mean I'm going to "not champion mediocrity" and refuse to eat it. There's room to enjoy the really great classics and have fun with the good stuff as well, if for no other reason than to highlight why classics are classics.

I feel trapped - like a moth in a bath.


 

Got a couple of clips of episode 5 (completely legally, I should add) that I've just stuck up on YouTube - you can view them here:

Roy fixes Douglas Reynholm's computer

Moss invents the perfect bra

Is this right?



The second series out on DVD October 1st? 3 days after the last episode airs?

If that information is correct, I hope that doesn't mean there will be a lack of extras. Graham's normally pretty good with commentaries and the such.

Yep, that's correct. And it's still not the quickest ever transfer to DVD!

Not sure why it would mean that there wouldn't be extras though?

Haha! Yes I might just do that, although I'm not too keen on boxes, don't ask why, I'm weird.

I don't know. Maybe I was thinking that they were rushing the release or something. There's no mention of extras on Amazon.

Yeah, but we all know how patchy Amazon's info can be. Check our entry; there's quite a bit of extras info there.
