Coogan has a hand in it. Didn't he get told to pull together some new talent a while back? There was definitely an interview in Guardian Media along those lines months back.

So it's a Baby Cow job? Presumably Henry Normal also involved then? I was just put off by the "spoof documentary" tag which, whilst being tired, has been done well recently (That Peter Kay Thing). Generally, they're dire, aren't they?

I find Coogan/Normal stuff a bit hit and miss, to be honest. The best thing about Coogan's Run was the one done by Matthews/Linehan.

I saw Caroline Aherne, Craig Cash and Ricky Tomlinson at the RTS Awards on Saturday. Didn't speak to 'em mind. Also saw Gordon Burns, who won best newsreader, later asking him who won the award that was third from the right of the award won by the person who collected their award after Best Programme. He told me to "fuck off" (and I'm quoting).

Steve related to Paul Berry of Epping Forrest College?
Just asking.

Oh yeah, cos they're all related! Hey, I know a man from Australia, in Neighbours called Ian Smith, reckon he's related to my mate Paul Smith? Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


idiot child, you go now.

oh for biscuits sake you cowardly bastard don't you have anything better to do than slag off teenagers? No, well that says more about your sad little life than it does my promising one.

I think "Boiler Faced Brat" slags you, RHC, a teenager, because you bang on about being a teenager the whole time.
Anyone who constantly goes on about something is gonna get some flak, so deal with it.

I'm a student - I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO poor!

I've got a job, ISN'T WORK CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm surfing the Internet and then I'm going to do the shopping for my mum.

What is "the internet"? Who is "my mum"?

You do realise she's gone to bed by now, don't you?

Leave off her, you bullies.

I might watch it again tonight, just to check, but my initial thoughts were it was rubbish. Certainly didn't have me laughing.

Anyway, "Human Remains"...

I dropped in and out, didn't see it all the way through. It made me laugh a few times. But it should have been shorter - 15 mins instead of 30. It didn't have much of a story to keep it going, unlike "People Like Us".

Also, if it was supposed to be a documentary, it didn't stick to the rules - there were scenes that would never have been filmed, or would have been taken out, in a real documentary. This is the same problem that the Corpses raised over "I'm Alan Partridge" - a real-life AP wouldn't let them film that stuff, but then IAP wasn't billed as a "fly-on-the-wall", that was something Coogan tried to make out later. The problem was definitely there with "Tony Ferrino - Who? What? Why?", which didn't make sense on its own terms.

I'll carry on with it for a few more eps, but judging from the trailer for the next one they're re-using the unusual-people-talking-about-their-sex-lives idea, which seems a bit wearing.

Meanwhile, I missed the start of TGp, so will have to tape it on Sunday. It was the best ep I've seen.

Hang on, what's so offensive about RHC reminding us she's a teenager?
Don't you realise this is the closest us old people have to our grandkiddies visiting us?

You twenty-somethings...honestly.

Hmmm. That cyber rose looked better when it was in Patrick Marber's play 'Closer'.

It's a wonder Marber can get dates.

Or maybe he just gets ones who look like this:

P. Marber is a o====3.

signed L&H

Glad I'm here in time to defend myself from such adult and mature comments.

Blimey, Radey, are you Patrick Marber?

>Hang on, what's so offensive about RHC reminding us she's a teenager?


Shit, and all this time I thought RHC was male.

That'll teach me, eh kids? \[still, least now I"m not the youngest any more]

no, but age is going to become irrelevant, one day...
who knows which other sorts of relationships they are doing?

>no, but age is going to become irrelevant, one day...

You keep saying that, and I'll keep being able to buy alcohol legally. And see those big ol' scary films. And buy porn. And buy cigarettes, too. Not that I would, mind you.


Age does not equal maturity, and maturity will always matter.

Roll up Kiddies, who's coming to see an R-rated movie with Auntie Suiii (I'll even buy booze and ciggies for you if you want!)

*waits outside in car*

Yay! Auntie suiiii!

[you know, they didn't age check me when I went to buy ciggies last time? I shall take this to mean that I look 30 already, which is feckin' annoying...]

*grins*

dear old auntie suii was rather chuffed when we *were* asked for identification while buying booze and sweets in torquay.

:O)

Heh.

The sad part? Don't even smoke, I just wanted to see if I looked 18 without needing the identification...

we've narrowed her age down to between 18 and 15, now we just have to trick her into telling us- oh god is thing on-

*rolls eyes*
I'm older than you. Did my GCSEs so long ago I've forgotten most of it. College days now. Try sticking that into your narrowing band of ages and wait for the "does not compute" error.

On the other hand, you could just accept that I'm not going to tell you, and get over it.

subbesis actually a 47 year old man called Albert, this is a fact.

Jo_ham, I was *thrilled* to be asked for ID, cos it means I don't look like I'm 56! Very ironic too that it was the youngest member of our little tribe that had to purchase our beveraaaages *ahem*. Awww, remember when that number 31 bus nearly killed you?!

>subbesis actually a 47 year old man called Albert, this is a fact.

Only inside your pretty little head, my lovekins.


> Awww, remember when that number 31 bus nearly killed you?!

What a pity he got out of the way, eh? ;)

Poor Josephine. It was a very surreal experience actually. We were all in Pizza Hut having a great time, and Joe decided to phone while he was crossing the road, and suddenly a sort of shriek emanated from the phone handset! We couldn't help but laugh.

Mmmmmmmm schadenfreude.

Heheh. Ho_ham is funny when he's in danger of imminent death. Heheheh. :)

I think we should contrive to get him into a series of life threatening mishaps, send them to 'Americas Most Tragic Fatal Videos' and grow rich from a lifetime of cable repeat fees!

Heheheh, but by far the funniest thing was went he went gay!!

He went gay? Ah yes, Tim Curry. He could sway any man.

true, true.. :O)

and it was a behemoth coach, not a piddly #31 bus.

I had inches to spare, really..

It's a good job that you're quite literally the size of a strand of tagliatelle, or you'd have been in trouble!!

:O)

my beanpole status has got me out of many a close shave.

like the time I was being persued down a narrow alley by the fuzz.

that will teach them to eat all those doughnuts.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...............doughnuts

*drool*

Damned Wotsits always make my fingers go orange!!

Paint your face orange.


That will teach them.
