How do you want me? Posted Wed Apr 12 15:25:37 BST 2000 by clarky cat

"how do you want me" - how did this spring from the pen of simon "wolf/ men behaving like cunts" nye? it is sheer bloody beautiful genius. i don't know how this exquisitely crafted, subtle piece of comedy, superbly acted especially by dylan moran, gained an average 0.8 million viewers. no cunt i know watched it either. did anyone else actually watch this?

How Do You Want Me? is fantastic. Great performances all round, particularly from the boy genius that is Peter 'Darth Maul' Serafinowicz. Fine cast, fine scripts, fine series. Apparently, there is a third series on the off.

at last, a fellow fan. mind you, it got the critics frotting a bit so you'd have thought a few people might have tried it. even the sodding Daily Mail loved it - which probably secured the show its kiss of death. still, good to know about a third series. any idea when?

This is a brilliant piece of television and was on the wrong bloody day and time for me!!! So I'm waiting patiently for series 2 to be repeated ...

The Daily Mail thing is a very good point: How Do You Want Me's production company (Kensington Films?) is owned by Associated Newspapers, who own the Daily Mail. A case of cross-plugging if ever I've seen one, but a great prog all the same.

Fingers crossed I'll be talking to Peter Serafinowitz in the next few weeks, so I'll ask him myself... Oh, don't you love name dropping?

The show was on at the wrong time for me too, and I kept forgetting to set the video. From the little of it that I saw, namely episode 1 and about three others, I really really liked it. I've always liked Dylan Moran, I saw him do a brilliant, whisky fuelled stand-up in Birmingham back in 1995. Very strong cast and excellent writing.
