I have to say, I don't get the hating kids in comedy, let alone TV in general. As long as there's funny lines/scenes/etc, then I'm happy.

And I'll just echo Mark in saying that I don't think that that was meant to be a twist. I didn't believe that it was meant to seriously suggest that he was having an affair. More that he was acting as if he was, but quite clearly wasn't.

OK, let's get a form of perspective here. Two different comedies but how does 'Outnumbered' stand up against 'Benidorm' as a first series?

The dodo died. Then Dodi died, Di died and Dando died... Dido must be pooing herself.
 

Well I only watched 'Outnumbered' and I still think 'Benidorm' was better.

Outnumbered outnumbers Benidorm, by far.

Was it a Mac joke?

I liked it. I thought it was funny and very natural which came with the improv. The bit when the girl and the mom were talking about what pets they wanted I thought was funny and the kids could actually act which is amazing. Someone said it earlier (can't remember who) but when kids aren't acting and just saying stuff naturally it works a whole lot better. I'm looking forwards to tonights
 

Didn't it feel like they were being fed the lines? Just given a little nudge sometimes?

Well - it looks like we're split on this one.

I thought it was awful. There's much better humour on TV - IT Crowd, Gavin & Stacey, The Visit.

It was like Royle Family or The Office but without any humour

I'll give it another go tonight. I think I might enjoy it better now I know what to expect. I'm hoping when the curly kid asks for his fiver again that Dad will give the brat a damn good smack. That would be great TV!

There's a Gervais fixation on this site that seems to permeate every thread...
