For fellow haters of Count Flamin' Arthur Strong, I have terrible news

There is going to be A TV Series. Written by Graham Linehan, ffs. I'm crushed on both counts. I loved Father Ted and Black Books. Though I should have seen it coming with The IT Crowd (Noel Fielding being the honourable exception).

I shall cry.

And yes, obviously I Don't Have To Watch. But this is TaxPayers' Money, ffs (channels inner Tory). We could have another nurse...

O God. I hate Count Arthur Strong the radio series, but DP loves it.

Neither of us liked Black Books, though - but maybe just didn't watch enough to get in to it.

AitchTwoOHoHoHo · 14/12/2011 21:11

by GRAHAM LINEHAN? isn't twitter keeping him busy enough?

EverybodysSnowyEyed · 14/12/2011 21:16

I found it reasonably funny the first time I heard it but they may as well put te same episode on repeat. there is never anything new - it's the same old joke.

won't be watching

Noooooo!! I've never come across anything I've hated more than Count Arthur Strong.What is wrong with the BBC?

habbibu · 15/12/2011 14:10

Well, indeed, Aitch. One would have thought.

And yes, it's madness gone mad. It needs Banning.

Princess, does your DP normally laugh at things that are not remotely funny?

PrincessFiorimonde · 15/12/2011 17:31

Habbibu, mostly we find the same kinds of things funny, so I can't account for this aberration.

AitchTwoOHoHoHo · 15/12/2011 18:10

clearly he is having an affair.

PrincessFiorimonde · 15/12/2011 22:22

With Count Arthur Strong???

AitchTwoOHoHoHo · 15/12/2011 22:25

What? What??? Are you trying to ruin my Christmas?

PrincessFiorimonde · 16/12/2011 10:23

Aitch, I see that you must be right and clearly I shall have to Leave The Bastard.

AitchTwoOHoHoHo · 16/12/2011 11:06

i think you might need to have him humanely put down, tbh.

and Shock at Christine.

habbibu · 16/12/2011 13:32

Don't blame me. Blame Linehan. Blame him A Lot. And vocally.

On the other hand, aren't Radcliffe and Maconie the acest of ace?

OP posts:
PrincessFiorimonde · 16/12/2011 20:13

Habbibu, what do you mean by 'Radcliffe and Maconie'? Is that a goodie, or just a new form of torment?

habbibu · 17/12/2011 17:15

No, no - BBC6, afternoons. Excellent music and chat. Truly splendid.

HidingInTheUndergrowth · 18/12/2011 19:54

Phew, for a moment I thought you were going to say they were replacing sorry I haven't a clue with the horror of count Arthur. Thankfully I don't have a tv so can just pretend this madness isn't happening.

WMDinthekitchen · 11/02/2012 07:18

Count Arthur Strong is dreadful.

jodevizes · 12/02/2012 18:37

Oh Dear, this is terrible. It was bad enough on the radio without having to see him. What kind of incriminating pictures does he have of the BBC controllers??
