Hunt Me Down and Kill Me If You Want....But the 11OCS is Getting Better....Isn't it?? Posted Sat Oct 14 14:00:04 BST 2000 by 'The Eliminator'

Now then....You're all probably going to hunt me down, and cut me into small pieces and bake me in a pie for this......but......I think that the 11OCS has improved considerably from the Iain and Daisy era.

I like Jon Holmes, and if you give him a chance - you probably will too. Sarah Alexander is much more attractive than Daisy Donovan, and funnier too. Also, I think the writing has moved away from just saying 'Fuck' in order to get a laugh (apart from the style wakers) And also just making the public look stupid by interviewing them about things they don't understand. Obviously some of it's still shit, I'm not looking at it completely through rose tinted over fashionable sunglasses. More a hyper-fashionable rose tinted monacle. Anyway, I digress...The stand up 'amusing' interviews are terrible. purely because they're trying to make pretty average stand ups do things that stand ups really aren't very good at. And to be fair alot of the jokes are shit too, but it's easy to forget that it's written on the day (actually morning, I understand) of transmission. And it's all very well saying "Make it once a week". But that is the only thing about the existing format that makes it in any way impressive.

Anyway, let's not forget it's still only Jon's 7th episode on Tuesday - and if he keeps improving at this rate, he'll probably be pretty shit hot by the end of the series

Please Don't Hate Me,

THE ELIMINATOR

My dear Eliminator

The caperings of EVIL GAS BOTTLE, EVIL CLOWN and EVIL BLUE FLAME are ten to the power sixteen times funnier than the 11 O' clock Show.

I think EVIL BLUE FLAME is really settling into the format of the Forum (most of which is written 1 second before it goes out) and if you keep watching you'll see he's shit-hot very soon indeed.

if i've read your original post correctly, you're saying that the jokes are shit, most (if not all all) of the regular features are shit and the only good things about it are:

1. the new woman is presenter more attractive than daisy donovan (as debatable as it is irrelevant)

2. jon holmes is now less shit (hardly a boast)

is this a fair summary or am i being too harsh?

I think you are being slightly harsh, as you are probably aware. I was merely suggesting that the new series is an improvement on the last. BETTER presenters, BETTER writing style. Not perfect presenters or writing by any means. And as for the Daisy/Sarah comparison, that was a joke - maybe I should have underlined it, or punctuated it with an exclamation mark! Like that.

Cheers,

THE ELIMINATOR

The worst aspect of the show's current incarnation (incidentally, the series would have benefited enormously from a Dr Who-style Iain/Daisy handover episode where they began the show as usual and then morphed painfully into her who you fancied off Coupling until she started doing this show and him out of Another Level) is the fact that it's turned into Comedy Nation. Ever watch that patchy jumble of a show and wonder what its various contributors went on to do? Turns out that, three or four years down the line, they're all doing exactly the same fucking thing, only now they've found a big-budget prime comedy slot to do it on, and they still can't be bothered to write any decent material. Buller, Style Wankers - I fully expect the Cheese Shop to have their own regular slot doing that 'Live & Kicking' school sketch by the end of the series...

You're saying that as someone who has seen these people's work before, as have most of the contributors to this forum. I might suggest however that the majority of the 11OCS audience were blissfully unaware of these people. They were probably asked to do these characters by the producers.

I think Bulla is quite good as it goes...Style wankers are shit though.

Don't get me wrong, Ricky Grover is a good performer, and the first time you see him performing either as himself or as "Buller" he can be extremely funny. Round about the fortieth time round, however, some of the sheen has definitely worn off.

Watched the highlights programme last night. Well, yes it's marginally less obnoxious than in the IL days. I even laughed at the joke where parents might name their children "Toploader". (A joke that a child at junior school could have written, admittedly.) And Holmes and Alexander are better than Lee and Donovan.

But,...it's still not enough. It looks full of terror, and I'm sorry whoever questioned it, but what's bloody wrong with suggesting a weekly show, rather than three-times a week? It took the Day Today team 18 months to make six programmes - the 11ocs (clearly full of a creative team who idolise Morris et al but have nothing original of their own to offer) is inevitably rushed, and looks it.

As for Gratuitous Wood: I have never seen anything on a comedy show so blatantly and patronisingly aimed at pissed people who don't really like comedy but quote "outrageous" TV bits at each other in the office the next day. Whoever devised this idea is truly a cunt. (Oh, and it's not even original. The Lettuce Family on TMWRNJ was infinitely more amusing.)

btw 1: The Comedy Nation connection: Phil Clarke, producer of both series.

btw2: Bulla - can Ricky Grover actually *do* anything else?

He played Jo Brand's sound engineer on her rather odd series which featured real onstage performances but laboriously faked backstage footage with her "crew" (including the Welsh one out of "Absolutely").

You might also have seen him on the Stand Up Show, or similar.

Most likely, though, given the state of him, you've stood next to him in a kebab shop. Or a chippy.
