Count Arthur Strong R4

[TsarChasm]

I'm going to regret saying this cos there's a massive thread from ages ago with everyone saying it's terrible...but...I think he's funny

no, he said sudacrem too!

Oh he did?! I thought he said that...I kept being interrupted by annoying family, so hard to concentrate.

now you need to do what we did and buy the series on CD so you can replay and memorise you favourite quotes.

CD??! Oh yes, yes!

I keep meaning to get hold of some Shuttleworth to listen to in the car too. I find the thought of driving along to Two Margarines (drowning out dc in the back) strangely calming.

oh dear god I can't believe my eyes.

There are people out there that actually enjoy count arthur strong

what is this world coming to

I can just about countenance John Shuttleworth but count arthur strong seriously?

Surely this has to be a piss take.

OMG I'm back. I've been watching some clips (instead of doing anything remotely useful).

Am crying with laughter.

On Creationism...'Adam and Eve were created from some spare ribs. The garden of Eden was enormous so you can only imagine how big the house must have been....'

Nah, if you want puns, then Dan and Nick and the Wildebeest Years are the kings, plus Milton Jones. CAS is just tedious and obvious.

I had believed Count Arthur Strong to be the worst 'comedy' on the Home Service.

...that was until tonight, when I heard an excrescence called 'Too Much Information'.

Who the fuck commissions this shite??

RG. Your feelings are misplaced. Count Arthur Strong is damn funny. There. I've said it.

'Too Much Information' isn't funny though, is it?

...I cannot imagine anyone finding it funny. Even the booze fuelled live audience sounded as though any mirth had been coerced with the aid of a sharpened stick...

Awful - hate it - its the only thing on R4 I can't stand, not they don't have those awful Simon Gray sitcoms anymore. Dropping DS off @ cubs the other night, I thought - ooh, good, 6.30 will catch the R4 comedy half-hour on the way back but aaaaaaagh bloody CAS - thought that had been binned long ago.
