It stars Chris ‘The IT Crowd’ O’Dowd and Kevin ‘Star Stories’ Bishop, and is set in a radio station. This being ITV – where the entire comedic output is the Harry Hill hour of a saturday night – I had my doubts, but I like The IT Crowd, plus I knew that Justin Hawkins was making a guest appearance (although I didn’t know that this would be limited to a minute and a half at the very beginning of the show – Sorry, Karl, for texting you, only for you to be disappointed…). It really wasn’t bad. Lots of MotherFucking jokes (what’s not to like?), it raised a smile or two, although it loses points for having sponsor ad trails starring Iain Lee. I was worried for a moment. But all in all, I’ll definitely be watching it again. That is all.

II) The fact you’re such a big Hyperdrive fan. February 26, 2009 at 11:25 am #92738 siParticipant I was worried about Kevin Bishop as well, but he actually wasn’t bad. And leave Hyperdrive alone, I liked it, and so did my dad. So nyah. February 26, 2009 at 11:45 am #92740 TheLeenParticipant *cough* and I *cough* February 26, 2009 at 1:33 pm #92755 AndrewParticipant I worked on this a bit – as script consultant for the channel – and I’m really pleased with how it’s come out. There’s also a kinda Young Ones-style stubbornness to including lengthy sections with each week’s guest band, which I’m strangely taken with.. February 26, 2009 at 1:37 pm #92756 PhilParticipant One thing worries me: I) Si’s new avatar. February 26, 2009 at 1:41 pm #92758 Jonathan CappsKeymaster I’ll give this a crack, I think. On the subject of ITV sit-coms, though, everyone could do much worse than tracking down 2003’s Dead Man Weds – a great little single series sit-com written by and starring Dave Spikey, along with Johnny Vegas being brilliant. February 26, 2009 at 2:06 pm #92760 siParticipant I thought Dead Man Weds was a cracker as well – Johnny Vegas gave a great turn in that. As for my new avatar – well, Cappsy’s indirectly responsible for me changing it. February 26, 2009 at 2:21 pm #92765 DaveParticipant >As for my new avatar – well, Cappsy?s indirectly responsible for me changing it. Did he put you in hospital? February 26, 2009 at 2:33 pm #92766 siParticipant No, but he ruined my Kryten one. February 26, 2009 at 2:43 pm #92768 Tanya JonesParticipant Yes, it’s awful that we should stop you buggering up the forum on a whim, isn’t it? And have you damaged your toe, perchance? February 26, 2009 at 2:52 pm #92769 Jonathan CappsKeymaster > No, but he ruined my Kryten one. To be fair, I did *try* to keep the animation on the re-sized version (despite animated GIFs not being something we’re big fans of) but I failed. I thought my compromise of Kryten mid-wink was a good one. February 26, 2009 at 2:52 pm #92770 JamesTCParticipant Looks like he had an ingrowing toe nail taken out. Mine looked like that when I had it taken out. February 26, 2009 at 2:54 pm #92771 siParticipant Both my left and right big toes are like that. It’s the bloody result of my accident last month. February 26, 2009 at 3:10 pm #92773 JamesTCParticipant Lister stood on your toes? February 26, 2009 at 3:25 pm #92775 Seb PatrickKeymaster >No, but he ruined my Kryten one. Actually, we’d all discussed how your avatar, which was above the size limits (for reasons we can’t figure out) was BREAKING the layout in places. So that’s why it got changed. Cappsy was just the one who happened to do it. February 26, 2009 at 3:36 pm #92776 siParticipant Yes, but he sent the email, so I will hold him personally responsible and hate him forever. February 26, 2009 at 3:40 pm #92777 siParticipant Right, I’m going to go off and find something decent for my avatar. February 26, 2009 at 3:41 pm #92778 Jonathan CappsKeymaster How about we vote for one? I vote for a nice kitten playing with some string! February 26, 2009 at 3:45 pm #92779 PhilParticipant I vote for a picture of Cappsy actively ruining your avatar. Or James spunking in your eye. February 26, 2009 at 4:04 pm #92780 siParticipant There. I’ve gone for this fantastic drawing, which can be found here: http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee21/Drendari/Mimi-Na/RedDwarf.jpg?t=1235663051 February 26, 2009 at 5:05 pm #92788 ChrisMParticipant That IS good. February 26, 2009 at 5:24 pm #92789 Tarka DalParticipant Rimmer’s not in blue, so he shouldn’t be touching the G. February 26, 2009 at 6:00 pm #92791 Ian SymesKeymaster It’s a hologrammatic G. February 26, 2009 at 6:11 pm #92792 hummingbirdParticipant Kind of ruins the effect at avatar size though, don’t it? February 28, 2009 at 11:12 pm #92877 JoParticipant I find it amusingly apt that Lister is holding the E March 2, 2009 at 1:03 am #92931 Ben PaddonParticipant Thank you with a capital R. March 2, 2009 at 5:49 am #92947 DaveParticipant Nobody else spells Thursday with an F. March 2, 2009 at 10:55 am #92968 Tarka DalParticipant Give me a B. March 2, 2009 at 10:00 pm #93035 Ben PaddonParticipant I was saying Boo-urns. March 8, 2009 at 11:36 am #93375 siParticipant It’s just occurred to me that I’ve missed the second episode of FM… EDIT: No I didn’t – I managed to record it at the last minute, I remember now. Are you bothered? March 8, 2009 at 11:47 am #93376 DaveParticipant >Are you bothered? Did you enjoy it? March 8, 2009 at 11:53 am #93379 siParticipant I haven’t seen it yet. That’s why I thought I’d missed it. Author Replies Viewing 32 replies - 1 through 32 (of 32 total) Scroll to top • Scroll to Recent Forum Posts You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
