Well at least a programme won that hasn't been on in the last few weeks.
However, Victoria Wood, as great as she is, hasn't written anything this year. Why did she win the writers award?
>Nice to see The Simpsons winning Best International Comedy, about time they got >some recognition. Did anyone else see Mike Scully receiving the award? Very >funny man, beard was a bit sinister though.
Very surprising reference to fisting considering it happened a few years ago and he lives in america.

Good question - although maybe it's not tied to this year's output, kind of like the Lifetime Achievement thing... maybe.

Give the man a break, it's the first opportunity he's had over here to make a gag about it...
well you see right, what i said to her, right.

> Wonderful, just wonderful. Did they put the votes into the SuperPleb-o-Matic 2000 to determine the winners then?
no, they let the Americans count the votes...
Could have been worse I suppose, 'Bob Martin' might have won an award.
*shudder*
I was out making merry and missed it. What was the reference to fisting? Or is this a joke?
His acceptance speech included the line:
"I was also going to make a couple of fisting jokes, but they told me..." (drowned out by laughter)
A reference, naturally, to Julian Clary's career-shafting bit of 'inappropriateness' at the Comedy Awards all those years ago. The man's probably been waiting for years for the chance to make a joke about it.
>The man's probably been waiting for
years for the chance to make a joke about it.
lol. That or he was advised by a helpful Brit in devising a topical joke for the speech.
Roll on next year...
RHC I like you. When are you gonna post up those sketches you've been working on?
RHC is ok - she's had a bad press
However I'm very worried that she hasn't asked what fisting is - does this mean you know?
Oh cover your ears, little girl!
<g>
Play Fisty For Me.
Sorry, that was me. I must have been distracted...
Put the gerbil _down_.
>RHC is ok - she's had a bad press
I was very drunk at the time, I mean we've all done it once...
>However I'm very worried that she hasn't asked what fisting is - does this mean you know?
No, I just pretend to in front of my oh-so-grown up friends "whaaaaasssssssup<bang>"
>Oh cover your ears, little girl!
Then I can't hear the pretty words you all so love to use, you know the flowery and colourful language...
Pull my finger.
>Pull my finger.
No.
It might come off...
How dare you! I can't help being a zombie.
No, Radiator head Child - That's NOT a finger!!!!!!
I've found all this very funny.
i like dinnerladies
>i like dinnerladies
Why?
I dunno really. I hated it when I first saw it, but once I'd been forced to sit through a couple of episodes by certain members of my family, I've grown to like it. It's very well acted, and has lots of jokes in it.

Dinnerladies is like those naff 70s British sitcoms IMHO. It's better than usual though due to Victoria Wood writing to the script, but the plots are basically banal and idiotic and the laughs are generally cheap ones.
It beggars belief that it beat The League, it really does.
>It beggars belief that it beat The League, it really does.
Hmmm the league is too scary, I can't sit thru any of it. On radio it's brilliant tho, which is odd (!).
No.
No-one is following that with the obvious comment.
Anyone who does, is getting a spanking.
I disagree that The League should have won. The League is basically a series of jokes about three blokes getting their cocks out or farting or something like that. At least dinnerladies can get laughs whilst keeping things clean.

Yeah, it was better on the radio, wasn't it?
(a spanking, a spanking!)
You did that on purpose, didn't you? Hrmpf.
Oh, does that not count?
I, er.
Er, ahem.

Ehhhh????
The League is awful! I'm so pleased Dinnerladies won!
