Er ... we seem to have gone off at a bit of a tangent here. But that's okay. Carey gets my vote, too.

Getting back to the sub-topic of 'Orrible', that series was so littered with well-written material, and so well delivered, that I'm truly surprised more people didn't get it. Or just find it incredibly funny. I mean, a moment like this (and there are many of them in the show) is priceless:

SHAUN (Ricky Grover): It's like Chris Akabusi said, Paul: 'Get the fuck in, get the fucking job done and get the fuck out!'

PAUL (Johnny Vaughan): Chris Akabusi did NOT say that, Shaun. For a start, he's a committed Christian!

Yeah but MARIAH . . . Only kidding.

Yeah but good material surrounded by shit does not a good sitcom make. I mean 'make a good sitcom'.

Also Ricky Grover has unwavering ability to make anything he's in be shit.

It's called the Grover Effect. It's the opposite of the Eldon Effect. (As we know 'Hyperdrive' doesn't exist)

She looks marvellous.

All legs and tits and gyrating in lots of legs and tits showing outfits.

Legs, Tits and Gyrating - that's her next single.

Fuck. Me.

That was ...

Well. Yikes. Great video. Actually liked the song too. And am I the only one who feels like that kid?

Loved the YouTube references too...

Might have to watch again in a bit.


Cripes.

Yeah, give it 20 minutes, mind.

I think what makes 'Orrible' work is that there really are such wannabe wide boys out there who think they're 'in' with the local crime lords and are one of the 'faces' in their 'manor'. I've known plenty of these bullshitters, and I think having experienced this made me appreciate where the writers were coming from. I realise it isn't to everyone's taste, but I thought the series had huge potential and hung together very well indeed.

Probably drawing from the two years he was banged up, in Vaughan's case.

Aw, bless!
We rarely get a thread so smothered in dripping male hormones.

Undoubtedly.


As for 'dripping male hormones', that's conjured up an image to put me off my custard cream ...

It's not ruined. Just tastes a bit ... funky.

Anyway, I just checked out your myspace. Goddamit! Why can't people put some kind of warning that there's music on there?! I just woke up the whole house because I forgot my speakers were on!

Oops. Sorry! I haven't even been there for weeks.

Good music though! Doctor Who music!

If Dr Who has suddenly become gay (entirely possible) and started strutting around the Tardis in lycra and sequins to a soundtrack by the Scissor Sisters, then yes ...

Well not the Doctor per se, but The Master did pretty much exactly that!
