    I bought series 1-5 last year for £15, it's even cheaper now: Bargain.

      I love the show but my wife hates it - she prefers celebrity resurrect my career roller knitting on ice or whatever bollocks they put on
      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

      I preferred version 1!

        Same here - but then I'd rather watch celebrity resurrect my career roller knitting on ice than listen to Chris Moyles who she thinks is some kind of saintly comic genius just because he has made a career out of pretending to be unpleasant.

          I haven't caught many episodes of the peep show, but anything with David Mitchell in is worth watching.

          On an almost unrelated note, does anyone also get a uneasy feeling when they see Greg Davies (as he was just now on Never Mind the Buzzcocks - which I didn't watch incidentally). It's spooky how much he resembles Rik Mayall. A much bigger and unfunny version of Rik Mayall. I thought is was Rik on steroids first time I saw him, except they don't make you taller. Not adults anyway. Spooky. Whooooooeooer. B00!

              Is this now a thread where we are going to tell everyone else which entertainment we don't like? I'm not so keen on Graham Norton except for his role in Father Ted.

                Mitchell and Webb don't write it though, do they? I love Peep Show, but I thought the majority of their own sketch show was about as funny as Hale and Pace.

                  Agree, their Mitchell and Webb thing is utter tulipe. But the Peep Show is

                    can't stand Moyles. I think his radio show is utter garbage. When I was commuting while working in the Uk I'd listen to 5 live for the news and then planet rock for music

                    That link was blocked here but is he the guy out of the inbetweeners. That's pretty good also. More cringe inducing comedy.

                    Can't stand him and thought while he was ok in Father Ted, he was actually probably the worst character in that also. It's a shame the guy who played Ted died as that was a cracking show.

                    According to them they do. I really like both shows. Armstrong and Miller is pretty good but once you have seen episiode 1, all the rest of the shows reuse the same jokes.

                      I'm sure Mitchell is very involved in the writing, no idea if they both are or who else might be.
                      But many sketch shows by good writers are crappy. For instance James Cordon is writer on Gavin & Stacey (not everyone's thing but well received) and on the Horne & Cordon sketch show. I think sketch shows are hugely hit-n-miss though, not just for writers but audiences. Little Britain has a huge following but to me it's just the same characters using the same punchline... on the other hand The Fast Show could be accused of doing exactly the same but is great.
