Brilliant

Firstly, I don't watch Big Brother and was flicking through the channels when this started.
Secondly, I am not a fan of Blue and think Duncan James is quite talentless.

Right that's off my chest.
Not sure if this is first episode or not but I thought it was very funny. I got hooked at the beginning when James started taking this piss out of himself and his 'band'. Thought he was quite good to be far.
Nigel Harman was inspired as the child "they're 18" molesting 33 year old PE teacher.

Like an English Curb your enthusiasm (but admittedly not as good) or a Lead Balloon (ditto) for the younger generation.

All in all a good filler for tonight and is now on the Sky+ for next week. If you haven't seen it give it a go.

I thought the programme was very funny. I love the fact that they were taking the piss out of Blue all the way through and Daniel was great in it.

Agreed, thought it was quality!

I'm 'of the younger generation' I suppose, but agree it isn't as good as Lead Balloon, but still a brilliant show that I will ensure I don't miss!

You're wrong, and you're a grotesquely ugly freak!

I'm 37 and thought it was excellent. Well written and well acted. I think the people who don't like this, with respect have missed the point. It is meant to be a little juvenile and slapstick (something I don't normally like). (We can probably expect said people to assume I'm juvenile etc. Like most males I can be, who isn't!)

I caught this show on the second episode and I got to say

!!!! WHAT A BRILLIANT SHOW !!!!

It was so funny I had to watch the episodes a few times. Just cant wait for the dvd to come out.

Just one thing will there be a follow up show to it cause it still has a lot of promise in it.
