Does anyone know when the THTV with Terry Gilliam will be on? I missed it last time.

I find 'Trigger Happy TV' funny. O.K. it's basically 'Candid Camera' but on occasion that was funny too. Also Dom Joly is a less obnoxious and smug than, say, Beadle, Iain Lee and Edmunds.

No. Just find it odd that he was initially marketed as a "new young talent". Shouldn't he have got a proper job by now?

True. Anyone know what Dom Joly did between school/college and THTV?

He probably spent 12 years thinking up the big mobile phone joke.

Why is he "cutting edge" when Adam & Joe are just "sophomore"? At least most of their stunts are funny and well written.

I read about his former job in Select, but I'll be buggered if i can remember what it was now... it was something to do with a diplomat.

Adam & Joe's genius "football song". They wrote it since other comedians were getting in the charts / papers by loving football. So A&J wrote a football song even though neither of them knew anything about the game.
The lyrics included the fantastic phrase "Glenn Hoddle Is Having A Goal" and
the couplet "When I go and see Villa / My view is blocked by a concrete pillar..."
I say it again - genius.

Phil- Tk enjoyed the stunt where they pretended to be street artists pretending to be statues. See, easy?

my favourite song was Speed = Distance over time, (actually helped me in my exams!)
Isn't it something like Archie H feelgood?

My name is Rosow, That's Roscow H Spellgood,
I like to travel laong distances in short time,
That's why I increase my teminal velocity,
'Cause Speed = distance/time!

All hail Adam and Joe, and the song that will make physics nothing to physics master!

Very easy, yes. I apologise for my ignorance. By the way, can you tell me what "I liked there stunned about the staute funny" means? It sounds very amusing and I may have to incorporate it into everyday conversation.
