I always feel real middle class guilt when I watch Shameless. I know it’s a good show but I feel like a voyeur and can’t enjoy it

Didn’t like anything about The Thick Of It, but must admit haven’t like anything Chris Langham has done, so had even less time for him when he was going through the courts.
Loved Big Night Out, nothing else even comes close in recent Vic & Bob stuff.
But then I do usually like the things most of my friends don’t of have never even heard of - Joking Apart, Green Wing, Drop The Dead Donkey, Waiting For God, IT Crowd - if I get into it straightaway, then I’ll stick with it until the complete end. But if not I’ll give it usually three episode then ditch it.

So, has anything new been released in the past 2 years or so? In the “Links to cool things thread” I discovered “Flight Of The Conchords”. That looks like a fun show. Reminded me a bit of “The Mighty Boosh”.
Anything else?

I have no idea what’s been released in the last couple of years in GB.
Comedies I’ve enjoyed recently have been Catterick, Peep Show, and The Green Wing, but they’re all years old

Harry and Paul was decent enough.
Not as good as Harry Enfields Television Programme of The Fast Show but entertaining.

Benidorm is ok…not amazing but watchable but if you think about it the Office is all GB has produced in the last 7 years thats been really quality. And no, you can’t add Mitchell And Webb to that - they are rubbish!

The only thing I’ve seen on adultswim is the really weird talking floating food thing. Fuck knows what it is, but my lad swears it’s comedy genius …

Erm, Mitchell and Webb write about 10% of their sketch show… have you seen the credits list on their CDs? It’s huge. What I would say about them is that the radio show was genuinely brilliant.. I don’t think it was adapted for TV particularly well and sadly more people know them for TV than radio.

And even then it wasnt particularly good !

Co-Written by Mr Charlie Brooker - who also has another show coming out this month called Dead Set, which sounds quite good.
