pure comedy gold...absolutely fantastic!

Dark, dark, dark, and hilarious.

heartbeat? you poor thing.

is that even still on?

is heartbeat still on????? with thingy from eastenders??? shurely not!

at x-post

no, some spotty little jock now. ghastly. and i think i watched ep 2 of luther... so disappointing. such a cast.

i was putting DS1 to bed tonight and he was being a pain (despite being taken out to the cinema for the evening), i thought, "i breastfed you, you little shit". thanks simon for that one.

Gok - my thought on the Jewishness-being-overdone thing was only in relation to Rebecca Front. I think she's a fab actress but in this I thought she was a bit too Maureen Lipman/BT ad-ish.

Aitch - Garry Shandling! That's EXACTLY it. More than any other show.

Although I did read a review which referenced the Kelly Monteith Show!! Now that's a reference that only a few of us crumblies will get!

hahahaha i truly LOVED kelly monteith. thanks so much for reminding me of him, he was my first huuuge tv crush. and, oddly in light of how monstrous he became, hywel bennett from shelley.

Now tell us all about this remake of Bouquet of Barbed Wire that I've heard about. Is it FILTHY???

i honestly have never, ever heard of a worse celeb crush.

I think it may have been the jaunty theme tune...

Argh Kelly Monteith! There is a blast from the past. How desperate does he sound now?

Was he not gay? Surely? Or just straight in a Des O'Connor sort of way?

can a man not be clean-cut without being gay, fgs?

I missed the first one but have just set the box to series record the rest of it.

That's what I mean about D O'C. And I don't suppose at 8 or whatever one would have appreciated the subtle hints, hey. I, for example, had no idea that Larry Grayson was gay.

me neither. in fact it came as a real shock about freddie mercury, despite big Name Of Band clue.

In fact, until you just said that Big Name of Band Clue had never occurred to me.

D'oh.

...what happened to Hywell Bennett??

lol ME, it's crazy, isn't it? and the video where he was hoovering in a wig and mini-skirt...

i know re hywel bennett. it's like he exploded and was scraped up.

I'm thinking the clues were kind of there for the taking, yes

I can see that Heartbeat is receiving your undivided attention anyway Aitch.

lol. he was fucking great, wasn't he?

it only lasts forty eight mins, dumbass...

is the glasgow meet on fri? i may swing by.

We can at least be thankful for that.

Am embroiled in ds1's pre-P1 haircut on Friday so can't make it. I think Kelvingrove was being mooted last thing I saw.

ah no you are one of the main draws. what time the app?

Not laugh out loud funny - but interesting....
