Weak Weak Weak Weak WEAK

Fail fail fail fail post! Love this show!

dont worry about him, hes the british equivelant of a glen beck or rush limbaugh listener, they decide everyone who disagrees with them is a marxist, they hate the guardian for revealing more corruption and government/security services scandals so try desperately to claim its all just an extreme left wing bias so its not real and they still believe in a hierachy in society, the chief symbol of which is royalty, so they are getting very, very defensive now that the majority of the public tend to answer polls saying they wouldnt mind seeing the end of monarchy. oh and of course the bbc is an evil illegal soviet institution or something, like this guy believs that clearly its left wing propaganda for making jokes about royals, though it also mocks the left like the human rights guy being a self important idiot oblivious to the problems hes caused for people, a pretty right wing jibe, but that doesnt fit the message that the bbc is a great left wing dictatorship that you have to pay 100 bucks a year for a few dozen radio chanels and i think 9 tv channels, and has to provide news/education/culture/special interest programming etc.

the fact is most people like the bbc in britain but there are those who are ideologically opposed to anything state supported and theyve been jumping on recent scandals to try and amplify the distaste for the bbc in a hope they can kill it after a 100 years. also a lot of it is they wish there were no bbc news or world service as it makes it a lot harder to make things up and be like fox/msnbc with lots of of people telling you what it suits them for you to hear, and as the bbc is the most trusted and widely watched news source in the world, it hurts people all over the world who find the truth incovenient, hence you constantly hear from the right that the bbc is totally left leaning any time they challenge mistakes by the right while you also constantly hear from the left that its totally right leaning and pro establishment and deliberately doesnt challenge certain things as hard as they should or anytime they challenge the left too hard. its a farce, but you could show the poster above anything and tell him the bbc made it and hel list you the thousand things wrong with it and how its all propaganda, and then you could show him bbc programes and tell him they were made by someone else and hel tell you this is much more like it, far less lefty, much funnier etc etc. trust me that guy has no interest in facts, hes pushing an agenda, im guessing he makes posts like that on everything bbc simply for being bbc. in fact hes already done it, the show he recomended instead of this funnily wasnt another british tv show by another channel, which being a little englander youd expect, it was veep, a show based on the bbc show the thick of it, written and created by the writer and creator of the bbc show, so bbc humor as long as its not under the bbc logo, brilliant. ah this guy is a walking cliche.

i do love as well when people try to marginalise the guardian as just lefty propaganda, theres a reason its the paper mentioned in films and tv shows above all the others and why its name comes up places like this, it has the record for breaking major stories of game changing implications while making fewer mistakes than the competition, is judged by impartial groups on journalism standards as one of the best investigative journalism sources in the world, so people that really dont want reality getting in the way of their political dogma all try sooooo hard to scream bias. theyve broken some of the biggest stories in journalism, get over it and move on, if you have things you know wont stand up to scrutiny thats bad, for everyone else its the entire purpose of a free press, its the same thing they whine about with the bbc, they cant credibly ignore the bits they dont like by claiming political bias so the stories they dislike are far more damaging, hence they attempt to scream bias even louder hoping in the end people will hear it so often theyl believe it.

fact is there was a reason to mention a half wit royal and the guardian in a show about diplomacy in a corrupt central asian country, its based on real events. prince andrew, when he isnt in court for the bribes hes been caught taking, is a trade representative, unfortunately the courts have decided that as its a voluntary position and hes not on the pay roll, its a position he cant lose even when caught breaking the law. the second episode was based on events as reported by the american ambassador and later revealed in the wikileaks of diplomatic cables. its about the time in 2008 in uzbekistan that prince andrew, at a public dinner with dimplomats and businessmen went off about 'those *beep* journalists' from the guardian 'who poke their nose in everywhere' by doing their jobs by looking into bribery and corruption in the region, and a dinner where the businessman admitted that no deals get signed without the presidents son maxim getting his cut or 'consultancy fee'. reporters looking into such things hurt andrews bank balance it seems, as at the time hed just sold his mansion that no one wanted to buy when it was £12m to a saudi prince for £15m just as hed helped saudi arabia secure a large arms deal with bae, a deal that nearly couldnt go through due to anti corruption investigations sparked by the guardians reporting. so how do you a story about a corrupt prince whining about the guardian without being disparaging about royalty or mentioning the guardian? those damn leftys making stuff up.... oh i know buddy, reality apparently has a well known liberal bias, what would this guy think was the fair and balanced way to tell that story? bury it and never mention it because it embarasses something he likes, but hed be outraged at the scandal if you ever bury something that embarrasses something he hates. and the clown talks about bias....

I cannot help that other imdb subscribers have a serial lack of taste when it comes to comedy, my opinion is just that MY opinion. As for the personal attacks, well that's just typical of your guardian-reading, left-wing ideologs who cannot see the wood for the trees, they will some day, unfortunately, it just isn't today.

It is my firm belief and from what I've read the belief of millions of others that the BBC just cannot 'do' comedy any longer being as they are so tied down by political correctness and liberal platitudes.

In closing, it seems that my review did reflect the majority-view seeing as how the show was cancelled almost immediately. Perhaps Ambassadors will have a better chance once resurrected as a drama, now that I might sign up for.
