This show has died on its arse!


Even the BBC have realised it which is why they've repeated the same episode this week as last week's.

The things I dislike about this show:

- How Andy Parsons, after he makes his jokes on 'Scenes we'd like to see', always has a smug little glance up to the audience. What's with his constant playing up to them, does he bring his family along every week or something?

- How they always get comics you've never heard of from other countries, who have nothing better to contribute than jokes surrounding their own countries. It made me cringe the other week when they got that South African and New Zealander on, and scripted their stand-up categories to be South Africa and New Zealand respectively. It's just too predictable. Not to mention I couldn't understand half of what that South African guy said.

- The feeble choice of guests. Must they keep choosing the same unfunny guests so soon after their previous appearance? I mean why do Chris Addison and Jack Whitehall keep coming back on for instance.

- Russell Howard, naturally.

Agreed. It's total and utter *beep* now. It was getting tired evan before Frankie Boyle left, but now it's just tedious. I stopped watching when Boyle left, but when I do catch 5 minutes of it here and there when I am channel flicking, it makes me glad I no longer watch it. Russell Howard is simply intolerable.

I couldn't agree more, I'm so bored with it. I read Grazia from cover to cover whilst it was on.

I used to be really addicted to it and now I don't mind if I miss an episode or whole series. It's just not that funny anymore!

I hate to agree but you're right. Thank god for the repeats on Dave.

When the music's over, turn out the lights.
