To think Miranda won't be funny in 10 years time?

[DottyBlue2]

I used to love Miranda. DD loved Miranda. I even took her plus a friend to see Miranda and had to wait a year after booking the bleeding tickets.

But I've just caught an episode (the one where she pretends to go on holiday) and it's just got a bit..... tired and dated. AIBU? I've got nothing against the girl. I think she was just a bit of a fad .

Is he dead then?

Jack Docherty isn't dead.

Never heard of this Jack Docherty. Maybe Graham Norton's people had him erased from our memories.

Okay, thanks Ronnie! I thought someone mentioned upthread he'd died.

didn't find her funny to begin with

I don't find it funny at all-but I can still laugh at older series like 'the two ronnies' or 'the royle family' so not just an out of date thing for me. I don't know what it is. My Grandmother used to say 'That's too daft to laugh at' about some series and I think that may be it for me.

It's OK wagglebees - the grammar police comment as, as owllady suggests, entirely pointed at myself but probably an easy mistake to make so have a proper biscuit and not a biscuit . I keep obsessing about that line from St Trinian's (

"He looks like he doesn't have a pot to piss in"
Miss Fritton: "*&!!?$£"
"I'm sorry. He looks like he does not have a pot in which to piss."

Carrying on - what about Reeves and Mortimer? I howled at that in 1991 but in 2016 WTF? Even Shooting Stars is sexist and creepy when Vic leers over women and rubs his thighs.

Shurrup about this dead nonsense. It was my mistake
Batshit, it was on at teatime I think. I only know as my little sister used to like it! :o I think I most probably had a job or baby or something

Yes Reeves ad Mortimer is terrible isn't it? The man with the stick! I thought that was hilarious at the time.

"Vic Reeves Big Night Out" was on UK Gold a year or so ago. Awful isn't the word for it. 'Embarrassing', 'disgraceful' is. I kept thinking, during the one minute I could stand watching it for, how did this man get away with it? Were we all that desperate for something to laugh at in 1990? A tearful Margaret Thatcher was hounded from office that same year. Now that was funny!

"You wouldn't let it lie would you"? That was it wasn't it? We actually laughed at that? My goodness. Got to hand it to VR I suppose, he got away with that and forged a very lucrative TV career too on the back of it. Shocking really!

I once met him in m&s foodhall

Did he knock over the biscuits and shout "You wouldn't let it lie!"

Was he buying a cup a soup?
