A fellow dwarfer! You do know it's making a comeback next year? Long
overdue too.

I thought it'd been binned, it's been so long.

It was. The bbc refused season 9 years ago. Doug Naylor spent years
trying to get a movie going with numerous failures and scams going on.
Just recently though, the Dave channel has commissioned an hour-long two
parter plus two half hour documentaries, one a 'making of' and the other
a smeg ups variant. Mebbes it'll go back on the beeb at some point now
that pile of shit known as Hyperdrive has been cancelled.

Now here, Hyperdrive was good!

But Red Dwarf is much better.

There were also some stirrings about Blackadder's fifth series, but who
knows!

The BBC could cancel a lot of horse shit:
My Family
My Hero
Clone
Scallywagga
Anything with Alastair McGowan in
Chewin' The Fat
Dinnerladies
Jam and Jerusalem
Little Miss Jocelyn
Outnumbered
*Anything* that has ever so much as mentioned Catherine Tate
Tittybangbang (how was this ever commissioned?)
Anything with Karen Taylor
Anything with Victoria Wood

Basically anything that requires canned laughter because IT IS NOT FUNNY.
Most the stuff on the BBC at the moment. It's a sad state of affairs
when we have to import comedy because the home-grown stuff is so awful!


Also, the American Red Dwarf was just pure idiocy.

You aren't serious. It was utter tosh.

They keep trying but Rowan Atkinson won't go back to BA. Shame, one of
the best comedies ever.

And anything with John Barrowman in. Who is this guy shagging? He's on
just about every bbc show going these days.

Oi!
Chewin the fat might've been a bit lackluster in places bit it had its
moments...
And it did spawn one FECKIN excellent spin off.
Or have you never seen "still game"?
Besides, it has been canned. apart from the odd christmas special it's not
been made in years.

We do still have the odd good one y'know.
Father Ted and the I.T. Crowd to name but two excellent examples.

You forget that most tv in america is also utter dross.
We only get the "best stuff" (apparently).
And they have far more tv production companies and channels out there to
pump out the dross too.

What about "The Mighty Boosh" and "Ideal"?

Boosh is superb. Ideal started ok, but has gone a bit... meh.

Yes but we shouldn't have to import theirs, we used to have the best
comedy writers at the BBC.

Coming of Age - oh my Godh!!!

Most of your comedy tries to be new age trendy. But it isn't funny because
it isn't well written. I enjoy a lot of older britcoms but really what
turns me off at the BBC is that they would rather introduce one-stop laugh
shops than quality comedy like Saxondale.

But maybe the brits and americans both have a short attention span.

How about driving a car into the past and canceling Pints and Lager and
firing Nickson?
