Mark Corrigan is my image of most posters on this website and his interaction with Dobby reminds me of their flirting with the fembots.

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.

Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostI 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!

Originally posted by Qdos Consulting View PostMitchell 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.

Peep Show is one of the few comedy shows that started off brilliant and managed to survive unscathed after the writers got their own sketch show and started appearing on every single comedy quiz show in the land.
I think it's a same David gets all the limelight though, he's very funny generally but t'other one is as well IMO.
