I have too much sympathy for Mark, which also takes something away.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 11:02 (twenty years ago)

Jeremy has become much less sympathetic.

― Oh No, It's Dadaismus (and His Endless Stupid Jokes) (Dada), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 11:04 (twenty years ago)

funny at times but not enough to make it worth watching

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 11:14 (twenty years ago)

how do you know?

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 11:18 (twenty years ago)

i am assuming that about a number of programmes tho granted e.g. Broken News (not seen it), current Simpsons (not seen them), oh and Faith And Hope on ABC.

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 11:19 (twenty years ago)

i'm think mark used to be the central character really, but it's maybe tilted way over in the other direction. mark's sex-ph34r is a bit much, so i identify more w. jeremy.

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 11:20 (twenty years ago)

maybe Little Britain too (xpost)

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 11:20 (twenty years ago)

"Blessed" on BBC1..................... only joking!

― Oh No, It's Dadaismus (and His Endless Stupid Jokes) (Dada), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 11:21 (twenty years ago)

I have seen peep show

saw an episode of little britain last week

disgustingly awful

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 11:44 (twenty years ago)

i guess you do have to watch something before deciding it wasn't worth watching. but how many times?

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 11:50 (twenty years ago)

it is important to exercise some unwarranted prejudice or you'll be overloaded.

otm

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 11:52 (twenty years ago)

I must have seen at least 5.5 eps of peep show

maybe only about 1.75 eps of little britian but that's more than enough

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 11:55 (twenty years ago)

avoid Broken News! I saw the end of it before a HIGNFY rerun last night, and within two minutes I was virtually screaming "Oh just fucking stop it!" at the screen. Unwatchably infuriating and unfunny.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 13:42 (twenty years ago)

gaaah! i forgot to watch the e4 repeat last night! damn...

is it on again?

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 13:47 (twenty years ago)

was Broken News that 'thing' on bbc2 last night? Toss, basically.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 14:17 (twenty years ago)

I agree with Dick and disagree with Martin. I think Broken News is often staggeringly good.

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 6 December 2005 14:38 (twenty years ago)

it's the funniest British thing to have been on Channel 4 since...

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 14:55 (twenty years ago)

haven't watched broken news properly but it seemed a little irritating

maybe you have to concentrate

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 16:16 (twenty years ago)

so: see when big suze was telling mark about her sister? "and the only airline that understands is BA"? does anyone else think this is a preamble to her scamming mark for cash, or am i just a horrible and suspicious person?

i thought that last episode was fantastic. yes, it's far-fetched and silly, but wonderfully so.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 12:49 (twenty years ago)

Big Suze would never do anything so mean!

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Wednesday, 7 December 2005 13:23 (twenty years ago)

Mark's capitalist tirade on Friday's "ep" was too disturbing. And still it was unquestionably the funniest episode of the series, which is just frustrating.

― michaelleary, Sunday, 11 December 2005 17:23 (twenty years ago)

can't wait to watch this.

I've only seen the first episode of the 3rd season, and I was not impressed.

I have the next two episodes downloaded so can someone reassure me it gets better.

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Sunday, 11 December 2005 19:17 (twenty years ago)

Three four and five are better then one and two.

― MitchellStirling (MitchellStirling), Sunday, 11 December 2005 19:54 (twenty years ago)

Love it now.

― Cathy (Cathy), Sunday, 11 December 2005 21:10 (twenty years ago)

nah

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 11 December 2005 21:17 (twenty years ago)

I 'heart' Big Suze!

'you could win this; you owe us that'

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Monday, 12 December 2005 09:17 (twenty years ago)

I still don't like it much. It is nasty and its important realism is too often undermined by its unrealistic storylines and events. Yet it is not without wit; I will not claim that it has nothing, no talent, no verve, for it surely does.

― the bellefox, Monday, 12 December 2005 14:21 (twenty years ago)

Here is another unrealistic feature: the way the two main characters go from hating and baiting each other to asking each other for sympathetic advice within, not a day or a week, but the space of a 30-second conversation.

I don't much like its portrtait of friendship, if that's what it is, as a matter of bile and loathing.

― the bellefox, Monday, 12 December 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)

It is hardly offering up an example of thoughtful, mutually beneficial friendship; and this lack is part of its point.

This series has been very good stuff, without really changing or expanding the format, characters or central direction; more of the same, which is to be taken gladly amidst the poverty of comedy elsewhere on British TV. But a bold new direction would have elevated it further.

I do partially agree with the Pinefox; whilst I have no problem with sordid, bleak moments, it does sometimes seem like they are grafting on the 'darkness' and melancholy to fall into line with fashion; it does not arrive innately from the world created in the show - despite indeed the destructive 'friendship'. It can't currently ever hope to reach tragic proportions - as "Fawlty Towers" certainly did, and "The Office" very possibly. While it is often very intricately funny, and the characters work very well (Johnson is indeed an ace card whenever used... "my Skinner and Baddiel...!"), it could do with going a bit further outside its established frame; throw in a jarring, painfully moving episode, give other characters the POV-perspective. But, it does work as a fine - and certainly up-to-date - comedy; if indeed not a timeless one, I suspect.

― Tom May (Tom May), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 01:22 (twenty years ago)

Don't believe the hype, this series hasn't been as good as the first two, just not as funny - and, typically, this is the first series to be noticed by the wider world, oh well.

more to the point, what's happened to Jez's American wife?

She's currently getting tastefully naked and indulging in two-on-one sex with Colin Firth and Kevin Bacon in Atom "Dirty Bastard" Egoyan's latest film

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 10:40 (twenty years ago)

WHY WON'T THAT STUPID BITCH LET ME PROPOSE TO HER?

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Friday, 16 December 2005 22:13 (twenty years ago)

haha weed frisbee...

beat me to it

― Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Friday, 16 December 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

She's currently getting tastefully naked ....in Atom "Dirty Bastard" Egoyan's latest film

Now i'm even more pissed off that this vanished from theaters in the US!

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 16 December 2005 22:50 (twenty years ago)

Last one was an improvement. But disappointed in this series, which can only mean one thing - it'll sweep the board at next year's British Comedy Awards. V. sad that Big Suze won't be on our screens on Fridays anymore :(

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Saturday, 17 December 2005 11:34 (twenty years ago)

Liked last night's.

― Ally C (Ally C), Saturday, 17 December 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

I did too. It gave me a wide smile.

― Lara (Lara), Sunday, 18 December 2005 20:06 (twenty years ago)

I love how Big Suze pronounces 'cuddle'.

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 19 December 2005 04:23 (twenty years ago)

brilliant

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 19 December 2005 04:23 (twenty years ago)

i was happy for jez and big suze. but it was a sad episode, overall.

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Monday, 19 December 2005 10:07 (twenty years ago)

maybe he will accidentally kill sophie with the poison you get from licking cheap wedding invite envelopes

NOT REALLY OF COURSE. what a smashing ep.

― Britain's Obtusest Shepherd (Alan), Monday, 19 December 2005 11:49 (twenty years ago)

It is really depressing.
