I liked the Brass Eye special Posted Fri Jul 27 00:42:44 BST 2001 by 'Paul'

"I'm Alan Partridge with a vengance" I think was something like one of the SOTCAA blokes said. Well, yeah, another great return that you aren't allowed to like, what were we to expect? LAUGHING at comedy? No fuck that, we're connoisseurs, darling.

Well bless my soiled little plebby pants, but all this forum flatulence is not going to detract from my enjoyment of this fucking great night for TV.

YOu'll still do an edit spot for it though. Even though you're so bitterly dissapointed.

'Peter Phile'. That was silly, but great. He's still 'got it'. Just.

I promise to watch it again in a smiling position and pay close attention to those bits. What more can I do? Oh God, another half an hour down the drain.

funny bits:

well all of it really. ok the victorian sex bit wasn't that funny, and the thing about 'peter file' being attacked was too obvious.

'this is the last thing we wanted to happen', didn't this even raise a titter?

Actually the Victorian bit was hilarious if you'd previously seen the C4 documentary about the same subject, it was shown in February.

*Most* bits were hilarious if you'd seen the shows they were referring to. However if you avoid most telly like the plague because it's all too "dumbed down" and "populist" then it must have been watching a programme in an alien language.

I meant the fan situation was like that of 'I'm Alan Partridge' - with a vengance because although we knew Coogan could miss the point a bit and could turn out a sub-standard show, I thought Chris Morris could avoid that.

i liked Brass eye special because of many humourous reasons. one of which was the puffed out cheeks, pursed lips look on Chris Morris's face after returning to the studio after a segment near the end (i only watched it once and cant remember which bit).

that was priceless.

but the as the whole of brass eye is a satire (pisstake, whatever you want to call it) of television then you would need to have some sort of knowledge to appreciate it anyway.

and as for the format of the show, i thought it was perfect. i think it was called brass eye SPECIAL for a reason. it was mocking those one-off telethon style programs that you often get on these subjects. the multiple presenters, the stadium to keep kids safe, all of it pointed to the show having a different focus. and i also think some of the acting by the 'presenters' was deliberately bad for the same reason.
