I meant Mitchell.

no dip in quality at all, which is great news - i guess because they've never gone mental-office-mainstream-crazy, they've not been weighed down with doing anything other than precisely what they want.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Friday, 11 November 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)

I could see this series getting quite popular actually. I can't wait to get the new DVD on monday

― Googley Asearch (Toaster), Friday, 11 November 2005 22:37 (twenty years ago)

this is great, i was worried it might lose some of what made it so great but it hasnt!

And now David Webb's on QI.

thanks for the tip! i hadn't noticed that. he's much better looking irl.

God so so good. Is this what the office is like if you work in an office?

Welcome to Big School!

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Friday, 11 November 2005 23:23 (twenty years ago)

Drinking in the day, why didn't I think of this before?

It's like watching my life.

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Friday, 11 November 2005 23:24 (twenty years ago)

"Don't I know you?"
"No....I don't think so....you're probably thinking I look a bit like one of the Shadow Cabinet"

"I have to say this is a bit rich, but I guess maybe there's certain administrative costs for *you* to bear"

― Masked Gazza, Saturday, 12 November 2005 03:23 (twenty years ago)

It was excellent. Has Big Suze been in before? I don't recognise her.

― Affectian (Affectian), Saturday, 12 November 2005 12:24 (twenty years ago)

Yay, it was just as great as the previous series. Which is a massive "phew!" for everyone I think.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Saturday, 12 November 2005 12:37 (twenty years ago)

Excellent! I'm going to watch it a second time now, and I'm going to buy the series two DVD on Monday and watch it all in one night.

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Sunday, 13 November 2005 01:04 (twenty years ago)

David Mitchell must write a good percentage of his dialogue I'm thinking.

― Masked Gazza, Sunday, 13 November 2005 01:12 (twenty years ago)

Which would include his monologue.

― Masked Gazza, Sunday, 13 November 2005 01:14 (twenty years ago)

Hi,

jez in church: 'there's something almost spiritual about it'

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Sunday, 13 November 2005 20:07 (twenty years ago)

well googleproofed there paddy

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Sunday, 13 November 2005 21:54 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha, no one's ever called me Paddy on the internet before. It feels quite sweet.

Jeremy: "You can't be pissed and be miserable, it's just not possible"

― Oh No, It's Dadaismus (and His Endless Stupid Jokes) (Dada), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 11:38 (twenty years ago)

they made a big point of having near-contemporary films on at the cinema. stuff that came out just 2 or 3 weeks back -- they must have filmed the body of the series before then, and thrown that one shot into the edit.

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 11:45 (twenty years ago)

Anybody else get the series 2 DVD yesterday?

"I've shot you jeff. With a bullet of Scottish Finance Regulations"

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 12:08 (twenty years ago)

BTW it's repeated on more4 on the following monday

― Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Tuesday, 15 November 2005 12:12 (twenty years ago)

I'm doing it Dad, I'm studying Ancient History and there's not a thing you can do about it!

― Corrigan, Wednesday, 16 November 2005 16:23 (twenty years ago)

This latest new one was fantastic; it just gets better and better, frankly. Strangely moving, as well as absurd. Brilliant use of "This Week"...! Despite the central pair's myriad flaws, you really do empathise with them, I'm finding.

― Tom May (Tom May), Saturday, 19 November 2005 03:00 (twenty years ago)

If by 'empathise' you mean 'feel like a particularly useless combination of their worst parts', then yes.

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Saturday, 19 November 2005 15:58 (twenty years ago)

Yeah this weeks was a good one too. Though i found that Superhands, a character i previously didn't like at all really stole the show.

When he threw the laptop and said

"it's just a metal box jez, it's indestructable".

Fantastic.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 19 November 2005 17:34 (twenty years ago)

Superhands is easily the greatest Peep Show character.

"The secret ingredient is crime"

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Saturday, 19 November 2005 17:39 (twenty years ago)

Super Hans (as I believe it is) should definately have his own unsuccesful spin-off show.

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Saturday, 19 November 2005 18:08 (twenty years ago)

Um I didn't like the second ep! I thought it was really weak and desperate to be weird and shocking. Disappointing, cos the first one was good.

― Cracks (Crackity), Sunday, 20 November 2005 20:59 (twenty years ago)

It lacked the believability and didn't hang together too well. Definitely the waekest episode.

This week has Jeremy organising a magic mushroom party though!

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Sunday, 20 November 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

i actually cried with laughter at jez at one point: "one thing we're definitely not doing is opening a pub called 'free the paedos'".

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Monday, 21 November 2005 09:45 (twenty years ago)

BTW it's repeated on more4 on the following monday

ah, this is U&K for fuckwits like me who, er, forgot to watch it or set the video on friday. woot.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Monday, 21 November 2005 09:51 (twenty years ago)

It's repeated on E4 actually. not More4

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 21 November 2005 10:01 (twenty years ago)

Watched the second ep last night. Still the funniest thing on TV, even if it was a little strange as far as the episodes go...

"No more sectioning for you today"

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Monday, 21 November 2005 12:05 (twenty years ago)

I have had that sectioning conversation before, and the sudden realisation of power was equally wrong. Very funny stuff, and I especially like the fact that Mark may not be the most fucked up person in his relationship.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 21 November 2005 13:47 (twenty years ago)

"Your dream is people on the omnibus... grey... eating grey sludge... that's your dream isn't it?"

― Oh No, It's Dadaismus (and His Endless Stupid Jokes) (Dada), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 10:24 (twenty years ago)

So, who do you relate to most, Mark or Jez? I'm definately Mark, my other 'arf says both equally, which is a little scary.

― Zora (Zora), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 10:32 (twenty years ago)

i think being both equally is better than being just mark?

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 10:39 (twenty years ago)

that whole sequence in the clinic was fantastic. and for some reason just Mark saying "that's good tucking!" made me hurt myself laughing.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 10:39 (twenty years ago)

just watched ep2 this morning - many many splendid laugh-out-loud lines. dunno why people thought it was a weird ep tho, no odder than usual. "my bone's got a little machine", yeah! fuck, what was the other really obscure music reference in the script?

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 10:56 (twenty years ago)

"People voted for Hitler and buy Coldplay records..."

― Oh No, It's Dadaismus (and His Endless Stupid Jokes) (Dada), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 11:00 (twenty years ago)

they referenced 'European Bob' from The Streets 'Weak Become Heroes'

also a reference to Spaced with 'the four Bs' thing (Big Blue, Blue Velvet, Betty Blue, Blues Brothers)

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 11:02 (twenty years ago)

You think Mark + Jez = rounded individual?

kk. Personally I think they cross-multiply, rather than balance each other out.

x-post etc.

― Zora (Zora), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 11:03 (twenty years ago)

they referenced 'European Bob' from The Streets 'Weak Become Heroes'

that's it! exactly! thankyou.

when were the four Bs mentioned in spaced, stevem? i mean, i completely believe you, but i just can't remember it.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 11:05 (twenty years ago)

as student posters

they referenced 'European Bob' from The Streets 'Weak Become Heroes'

wtf!? i missed this. hwo and where?

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 11:14 (twenty years ago)

TS 'The Blues Brothers' vs 'Blue Velvet' vs 'The Big Blue' vs 'Betty Blue'

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 11:15 (twenty years ago)
