A couple of good bits...


... like the Nazis who realise that they're the baddies, and the almost-controversial burkha/black-up sketch.

But...

...it would have been nice if it was a bit more dangerous, and I certainly hope they don't spin out recurring characters, the 'hilariously' drunken and drink-obsessed snooker commentators for example. We could do without another Fast Show.

I really wanted to like this more than I did, as I love Mitchell & Webb, but Peep Show it ain't.

True, they may have been introducing them to the TV audience. I really do hope it gets better, I want to like it.

I thought the best 3 sketches were:

1. Nazi's
2. Sir Chicken Caesar and Ginger (the drunken tramps - basically a Withnail and I sketch!)
3. The rude posh waiter

and a special mention has to go to the Banana Dance!

Some of the sketches were not so funny though and I felt myself wanting this to be Peep Show series 4!

How can you forget "That's Numberwang!"

If you can't remember it, it didn't happen!

The Banana dance was hilarious! I was really dissapointed however that we didn't get to see the big chicken finale at the end of last weeks episode!

I didn't really like Numberwang that much - a bit TOO overly-manic I thought.

Although many people like it if that's their thing...

The Numberwang section in last night's show wasn't all that funny, I thought, but it looks like it might be the last, anyway. Unlike a lot of shows, it seems they have the confidence to put a recurring sketch to bed before they have bled it dry (see Angel Summoner etc in the first episode).

Yeah the Numberwang the other night was a bit mince. Whole episode was crap actually. Except maybe "Touching Cloth". That raised a small smile.

If you can't remember it, it didn't happen!

I thought it was really funny, especially the whole "now we know" sketch! It was just soo surreal that was it hillarious, to me anyway! Numberwang, touching cloth, snooker guys, the ice cream/ child doctor sketch was a laugh too- very much a peep show joke. Although its not of that quality as a show, its not a sitcom, so in my eyes it never will be.
