It was on my tv, but it didn't really catch my intereast - it seemed too much like that show presented by Mark Lamarr, whatever it was called. (and whether it was presented by MLm or not)

I watched all 50 minitues of it. It made me realise what a mediocre, nay, poor stand up alan davies is. The only funny material shown was eddie izzard and a bit of ardal o 'hanlon. When alan davies came on i felt like shouting 'be quiet, i'm demonstrating mortgages'.

There was a hilarious interview with him on The Priory - Oh sorry, that meant to say. There was a hilarious haircut with him on the Priory.

God, imagine being stuck talking to Theakston and Ball - for once i feel sorry for him.

Then i remember those fucking adverts.

What is wrong with anyone doing adverts, exactly? It gets them good money, I don't see why it should affect their stand up at all, it doesn't rot the soul or make your hands go hairy. So why fucking not? These people have got to eat, you know.

Go on then. Shoot me down.

Doing adverts kills your credibilty (especially for comedians.) It probably has something to do with people hearing you do crap lines all the time. Very quickly people think, wanker, and lose interest in you. Of course Alan Davis was a wanker long before he started doing the ads.

Does Alan Davies really need the money that he gets from those embarrasing adverts - it seems unlikely to be honest. If he had any self respect, he wouldn't have said any of the 'funny' lines or have any participation in those adverts.

"It's a perm"
Fuck off

well i watched it again last night, and again i thought it was entertaining and funny here and there. I always find it interesting watching Bernard Manning justifying his existance. Also I think alan Davies is quite funny. What I didnt like about last nights show was that he seemed in no doubt that he was very funny.

doesn't he have to be to persist with his career as a 'comedian?'

Wouldn't it be more intereasting if the documentary followed the breakup of his relationship with his girlfriend? Or is that just me?
I missed the second episode, but i haven't decided whether that was a good thing or not.

Nah - it's not just you.
I'd like to know how he ended up with a crappy kids TV presenter who looks as though she's stepped straight out of my dental nightmares.

...then again, I'm nosey and also a bitch, so it's probably not necessary.
