Can't get BBC Choice. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

>Sorry if this is a little late, but Simon Munnery's new show Attention Scum produced by Stewart Lee is on BBC Choice in about 5 minutes, it's apprently getting its run on there, then moving to BBC2.

Is this a 'proper' comedy show or another Game show format like the UK Play show? Hopefully it'll be a real comedy show. All academic as I can't get Choice either. :-(

I'm not a real fan of Munnery's, though I'll be willing to give the show a chance. Sadly I can't quite yet as I have crappy BBC Choice Wales, so it's not on `till next week over here. It's pretty pathetic, having a Wales version of the channel.. why?! And of course Fun at the Funeral Parlour hasn't been shown on BBC Choice Wales yet either, which is silly because it's apparently a show made by Welsh people and set in Wales, yet the English get it before us, how ludicrous, though apparently it's cack anyway, but it's the principle boyo.

Is it true that BBC Choice Wales simply opts out to show nothing but Lucky Bag, or whatever that sketch show is called?

Welsh? Hardly, they sound more like Pakistanis. Honestly, it would hurt your national pride if you saw it boyo.

Oooh Ooh, there's also a 40-minute Stella Street special on tonight 11:20 on BBC2, glad I just spotted it.

It's a compilation apparently. Nay matter. Any Peter Richardson is better than none at all.

Re:'Attention Scum' - apparently endless footage was shot and the show is boiled down from studio performance stuff and loads of OB improvy stuff. Would love to see it, having watched 'London Shouting' and 'Saturday Live'(96) recently just to see how misjudged much of Munnery's TV work seems to have been.

I wish him luck.

It's not produced by Stewart Lee. It's produced by Richard Webb. SL was the director.

It was full of great things, but still hampered by that vaguely po-faced, 'I think you'll find we're being innovative' sort of smuggery. I can't really believe that any of the participants had much fun making it; or if they did, it doesn't come across.

Isn't Richard Webb that bloke from The Cheese Shop and Bruiser?

There was no studio stuff, which was a shame. All field-removed. The live stuff wasn't improv either - just Munnery doing his classics on top of a bus.

That was Robert Webb, I think? One half of Mitchell and Webb, anyway.

Very strange show/format - interesting using the either/or format again for a little bit - but isn't he bored of the Sword now?

>That was Robert Webb, I think? One half of Mitchell and Webb, anyway.

Off topic, but I saw them do quite a funny sitcom in the Riverside festival in 1999.

Then they did Bruiser.

Ah well.
