Well, it is. Don't bother about the totally unrealistic details etc. I particularly liked the bit where the work-experience girl was sick over the new lad character. That was quality.

Clearly no one else is interested, but anyway I reckon that Andrew Sachs has long ago figured out that David Walliams is gay, and there'll be a tearful scene in which they all come clean and it's revealed he doesn't mind. Meanwhile, the lesbian will be having a fling with the cousin of Walliams that she met at that party.

Are Andrew Sachs and David Walliams in Attachments then?

Might have to start watching it.

Or was it a joke?

Can't tell with this forum...

David Walliams portrays one of the programmers for Seethru, and he is also gay. He has a strained relationship with his father, played by Andrew Sachs, who keeps asking him if he has a fiance yet. In the last ep, Jake (that's his character, I've just remembered), had to go to a family function, so he invited along the lesbian who works for Seethru, forgotten her name, to pose as his girlfriend.

That sounds a bit like Charlie Brooker's 'Late Developers' cartoon. Bet it doesn't have the phrase 'snot-guzzler' in it anywhere, though, which would therefore make it not as good.

Any chance of a Superkaylo update, Charlie? Or is it discontinued now what with all of this Zeppotron business?

I like them muchly, which is probably sticking my neck out 'round these parts, but there ya go. And in a 'better on the radio' kinda stylee, dare I suggest that the Unnovations on the above are significantly more amusing than the ones on the Unnovations site?

No, Luce is the shoulderpad bossbird.

The bisexual / lesbian type is Sophie.

And she's a stroppy cow. I've never seen so much pouting.

It IS entertaining though: the crew/production probably didn't know they had so many eps to film so they crammed all into the first 3. The characters are either totally out or totally in the closet, spoiled brats stamping their feet if it doesn't go their way or whatever.

I will keep on liking David Walliams for ages yet, his portrayal of an alien in the Dr Who spoofs on BBC is unbeatable...:O)) Is he going out with Reece Shearsmith? Got a feeling they were an item..
