The office and phoenix nights are both class.

A little different is the channel 4 comedy peep show, genius

Just watched the first episode of the new series of extra's from last night.

the whole point of these comedies is its not aimed at the main stream gervais even has a little dig when he says to Maggie i want to reach everyone even 40 year olds etc etc not everyone gets it and thats the whole point its not My family or 2 point 4 children where every things shit i think its bloody brilliant. Oslo his 3td season of podcast is out at the moment for those that need there gervais hit i Oslo found there old xfm radio shows online which are fantastic too

I went to see Gervais live with Mrs Steeley. She didn't get the Office but the tears of laughter were streaming down her face 5 minutes into his routine. It was the only time where I literally could not stop laughing and the veins in my neck were sticking out. I got a bit worried when I almost couldn't breathe at the bit about the industrious mouse and the lazy mouse (watch Politics).

 yeah peep show was a good cult show pab

 thats actually where my screenname came from , a lot of people think it means big ahem cojones

 but its fom the scene where the guy is trying to mix in with ' the lads ' , he goes out and plays pool

 then they go back to a flat for a game of poker , he hasnt a clue how to play the game but looks at his hand and thinks

 '' mmmm ...   all reds cant be bad ! '' - he then goes all in and declares

 '' when the chips are down , the big tomatoes come out ! ''

 i watched that round about the time i signed up for online poker and the line stuck , so i thought it was a cool screenname


 back to the office ..... a very funny scene was the one hes waiting for his blind date and a massive , ugly women walks up

 '' oh for fuck sake '' he mumbles

 lady : '' you alright ? is allan in there ? ''

 db '' oh yeah , phew !! ''

 lady " sorry ? "

 db '' oh im waiting on a blind date and i was worried you were it ! ''

I found last nite episode of Extras so cruel....

But perhaps it is due to me getting old and sensitive....

[Acidmouse]

Love extras and the office. Peep show very good as well.

curb your enthusiasm and alan partridge are my favourites

Trigger happy tv was tainted by meeting some of the people who did the surprised public parts, i don't think they were all actors though.

[Acidmouse]

Little of subject but anyone know where I can get all Gervis podcasts? I have the 1st series 1-12 just looking for rest.
