Christ Morris Holds Gun To Cast's Heads In Make Me Look Funny Or Lose My Favour Threat
Posted Fri Jul 27 02:45:44 BST 2001 by 'Richard Von Kraft Ebbing'
Doon Mackichan, Amelia Bullmore, Julia Davis, Kevin Eldon and the rest: Underperformed. Overperformed. Mugged. Grinned fake media-whore, shit-eating smiles which you felt they weren't putting on. One last favour to Chris(t) while he's still got the power to demand them. Endured the self-indulgent, self-serving messiah once more before moving on. Hoped no one will remember they were in it. IT'S TRUE MORRIS FANS. And Doon Mackichan's delivery of the line "Yes we must catch that man. He really is a shit" was the most jaw-droppingly awful moment of TV comedy I have seen in a LONG time. Not her fault though. What can you do with bad lines?

And god bless David Cann (a genuinely talented performer) for not being in it, for whatever reason.

Yes, I was shaking my head in horror at that point. Look, it's Daisy bloody Donovan!

When I heard that line I thought exactly the same. It was like a bad 11 O'Clock Show flashback.

Highly unlikely, Mogwai. I think there's so much stylistic plagerism going on in TV comedy at the moment that NOBODY knows who originated what or when. A satire satarising a satire satarising a satire. This post-modern trend is fine, even if it all leads to the loony bin. But it has to be funny too.

Oh, I know. I was quoting Brass Eye anyway.

Indeed. So you were. I must be losing my sense of humour. I think I'm taking comedy too seriously. God, I miss Larry Sanders.

And 'On The Hour' if you take out the maybe. (That's a bit tenuous isn't it?)
