What's the fuss all about?
Some good actors, but YAWN.

I missed it first time around and have just finished watching the first series. I love it. Yes, the acting is good but the writing is amazing.

jeep · 17/12/2009 21:13

i don't get it either, though i don't get lots of things

HinnyPet · 17/12/2009 21:18

I don't think it's funny in the slightest.
Then again sometimes it takes a lot to make me laugh

stillenacht · 17/12/2009 21:22

I agree - it makes me cringe waaaay to much to be funny - I think Horne and Cordon are such try hards. Although I liked Matt Horne in teachers (although the series had 'jumped the shark' by then).

MistletoeMonster · 17/12/2009 21:23

Disagree, am loving it

SixtyFootDoll · 17/12/2009 21:23

This sereis is really struggling#I am location spottinga s most of it is filmed around here!

Monadami · 17/12/2009 21:54

I think it is as well. I watched 3 episodes of the very first series and found it to be boring.

deleting · 17/12/2009 21:56

It's alright. peep show which I think came out at the same time was much better.

mozette · 17/12/2009 21:59

I agree, very overhyped and not funny. Don't rate James Corden at all.

catbus · 17/12/2009 22:00

It started off alright and it was all new and spangly. But now thingy and dooobery really get on my tits, especially the big one because he's so full of himself. Not literally. Although he might have had a nibble.

Wanderinginawinterwonderland · 17/12/2009 22:03

It's fab! Love Ruth Jones in it.

This is the last ever series anyway and there aren't many more episodes to go!

sherby · 17/12/2009 22:05

too try-hard this series

way overdoing the funny bits from the last few series

Bomper · 17/12/2009 23:12

Loved the first series, was a bit meh about the second series, this one, well tonight I didn't even crack a smile!!

poinsettydawg · 17/12/2009 23:18

I tend to agree.

noddyholder · 17/12/2009 23:21

Me three i just don't like it.Rob ryden(sp) gets on my .....

poinsettydawg · 17/12/2009 23:23

it's corden who bugs me rotten

nickytwotimes · 18/12/2009 09:16

ooh, sorry, I did that very annoying thing last night and started a thread then buggered off!
Yep, just can't get into it at all, despite loving Ruth Jones, him with the ears, Julia wotsit, Rob Brydon, etc. Can't stand Corden. DH sits laughing like a drain...
By GOd, the wee baby in it is cute though, isn't he?

this series so far hasn't been as good as the other 2

mrmellors · 18/12/2009 10:17

The supporting characters are the best thing about it - still laughing at Peter Sutcliffe's wedding last night - but Nessa has become way to exaggerated. Sad, she used to be the best thing on it.

merrymonsters · 18/12/2009 16:21

I really liked the first series. Didn't think much of the second series and I haven't bothered watching any of this series. I find 'Smithy' really needy and annoying.

ParkBench · 18/12/2009 16:24

Thank God for that! I thought i was the only one who didn't get it judging by people in RL's when i say i can't stand it or outnumbered.

BunnyLebowski · 18/12/2009 16:25

Yes it is. And always has been.

It's TV for thick people.

And poinsettydawg I read that as 'buggers me rotten'

VirginPeachyMotherOfSpod · 18/12/2009 16:41

I like it still

But maybe becuase I have moved very close to sixtyfootdoll so spend my life viewing Welsh culture from the outside as it were (though I ifnd it pretty agreeable)

PuppyMonkey · 18/12/2009 16:48

I think it's all right actually. Not brilliant by any means, but quite ok compared to a lot of shite. Big Top, THAT is shite. G&A hardly in the same league.

I like it when they go Neil. The Baby.

PuppyMonkey · 18/12/2009 16:49

G&S I mean.
