I liked it when the horse fell down the stairs.

Mark the Sparrow makes this, I think. The sequence from him pointing out all the farm equipment to the end of the sing-a-not-a-long of bringing in the sheaves had me in hysterics.

4/6 Romance is in the air for Philip, and Claire becomes a mother - but is Winona doomed to be left on the shelf?

It clashes with BBC News with... Natasha Kaplinsky!!!

and yes the BBC lumping different comedy shows together within the same hour or two is sort of annoying if you like one but hate the other (i think i can take or leave I Am Not An Animal thus far but i refuse to watch TPOLAPOCP) - but then again maybe it's their way of luring enthusiasts of conventional sitcom towards the more surreal unorthodox stuff

TPOLAPOCP = Mexican volcano

I don't think I'm ever going to be able to watch a whole episode *all the way through*, I get fed up. Also, it was very violent at the beginning and they seem to be upping the filth factor. I found it quite disturbing.

Surreal comedy doesn't seem to have much to do with surrealism, not that I'd know, so what I'm wondering is, what would be a better label for surreal comedy?

yes i couldn't think of a more apt label, it's not that surreal once you get past the initial premise.

Disturbtainment? Oddcom? Unencumberedbyrealitygagfest.

I taped this cos I didn't fancy watching it with the in-laws. Mrs Berry seemed to enjoy (not necessarily a vintage) Porridge the other night though.

I am about to watch the American THE OFFICE - I'll report back in 40 minutes.

Note #1 - it uses ELO's "Mr Blue Sky" as its theme tune.

Interesting that the Office (US) pilot episode had been around for almost a full year before it finally aired (March 24, 2005).

I never realized how much The Office theme song sounds like "Mr. Blue Sky" but, hell it sure does.
