    The interview with Armando Iannucci about there only being 4 jokes was probably supposed to be ironic and post-modern, but actually exaggerated the comedy content of the show.

    I like the way you highlight the fact that he's gained weight as part of your criticism. Not for you just the fact that he's no longer funny as a reason to deride him. He's also fat!

    Shows your putting the effort in.

    I'm glad you liked it - I was pointing out that he has become lazy and over confident in his own cleverness...<ok>

    I thought it was excellent.
    I really enjoyed it. Thanks for reminding me it was on or I would have missed it otherwise.

    the whole gaining weight thing is obviously a post-modern slant on societies desire for good looking people on television.....very clever.

    I'm a post-modern vegetarian... I eat the meat ironically.

    I haven't saw the new series yet. I like Stewart Lee and saw him live at the end of the year and thought he still had it.
    He does look like geography teacher now right enough <ok>

    Getting stuck into Russell Howard was brilliant.

    I know what you're saying. I don't mind Russell Howard, I just think he'll struggle to change in the future when his audience gets a bit older.

    Gt this watched Bollo<ok>

    I think he is very much alternative and is an acquired taste!

    I Like him.

    Is it a 'new' series because that routine is ancient - very funny though. He did it in Glasgow years ago - brave man.
