PLEASE - more Adam and Jo!

I've really enjoyed the Adam and Jo Show DVD and the XFM Podcasts are an absolut JOY to listen to. Then there have been Adam sightings on "Time Trumpet" "the IT Crowd" and of course as Tim Messenger in "Hot Fuzz".

So I'm not saying that Adam and Jo are lazy (as I certainly am!) but I'd love them to come up with another show of their own. Their slack comedy genius needs a larger audience - some one thought Adam was Jimmy Carr in Hot Fuzz. I mean Jimmy Carr - really, Adam has more comic gold in his little finger.

I feel sorry for Joe, Adam seems to be much more prolific than his partner :(

I agree, they should do more shows like "Adam and Joe go Tokyo", there's little like them on TV. I'd love a 5th series of the Adam and Joe Show too, although I doubt it'll ever happen.

Yeah - Jo is a bit of a slacker compared to Adam. Yet a powerhouse of industry compared to myself!

Jo did do some really rather crap sort of panel show thing that was a bit embarrasing a few years ago. Luckily his X-FM stuff has been back to previous levels of hilarity - they definatley work best as a team I reckon.

I'd love to see 'em release all the 4 seasons on dvd too - but a 5th series would be awesome.

Joe was in Hot Fuzz too - he was Bob, one of the CSI-type guys at the beginning!

I think Joe is the quicker and wittier of the two judging from their radio show and Adam never seems to do very much on those panel shows he goes on. They should definitely do more projects together - I can't imagine this 'Ant-man' thing is ever gonna happen.

He's called Joe. Not Jo.

Well, it *is* 11 years since they started, and they did produce 4 whole series of what was, albeit quite funny, basically buggering about.

I think we should allow them to grow up and move on.

Or at least, move on.

Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg's co-writer for Hot Fuzz, has announced working on a new project with Joe Cornish, of Adam and Joe, due to come out in 2008. Might be worth a watch.

Check this out if you haven't seen it: www.adam-buxton.co.uk , lots of youtube stuff, worth a look though, adam is still as funny as ever!
