Burchill on 1973 Posted Sat Aug 12 21:07:30 BST 2000 by Peter Ohanraohanrahan

The high-pitched cornish slug strikes again. This series seems to revolve around her (perhaps gravity is involved.)

Quite a good episode this week, I thought. The stuff about Yarwood was good. But La Burchilla again... Oh dear. Every word delivered in that grating mimsy voice, every sentence devoid of anything of interest whatsoever.

BTW doesn't Richard O' Sullivan look like Rob Newman?

I'm going to surprise you with my interesting opinion! Aaaaaaaaaah.

Best one so far, by a mile. No factual errors that I could spot, and they were brave enough to leave in the Glitter references without adding the obligatory recent information. Burchill was useless as always, and Maconie possibly wrong about Yarwood (but we didn't really get enough chances to see him in action). Easy to slag off old-style comedians, though, and I loved Yarwood as a kid, so maybe I'm just being sentimental.

It's clearly different producers making each year though. The format's all over the shop.

Still, it was ok. Fingers crossed they stay good-ish.

C'mon, she's squeaky, intellectual (well, sort of) and she does girls. What more could you want?

About ten stone less of her.

Why do they insist on showing those actors dressed up in 70s gear. It's just tedious. I just sit there thinking get on with it.
