    Oh and Bluestone 42 – tomorrow night. A comedy about bomb disposal in Afghanistan. Yes, really.

    Conversely, Ambassadors is embarassingly bad.

    Ambassadors is embarassingly bad.

    I really liked it.

    I watched man down with Greg Davis. I thought exactly the opposite.

    Is bluestone 42 a new series?

    No, it’s about the 4th or 5th one. Missed the first couple until my brother recommended it (he’s been in a few wars himself).

    Hated that “Hello Ladies” the other night. Junk

    as much as i love matt berry, i’m not convinced about toast of london yet. although i’ve only seen the first one so far.

    man down was absolutely atrocious, such a massive letdown.

    drifters does seem to be pretty good so far, yeah.

    2nd series of hebburn is due to start in a couple of weeks, that should be ace as the first series was an absolute joy.

    I thought this was really good, proper laughed out loud at the 2nd episode.

    Ambassadors is pretty good, just watched Toast of London and that was ok as well. Neither of them were great but a lot better than the guff BBC3 keeps churning out.

    I am disappointed in this thread. I was hoping for a Little and Large reunion. 😥

    Looking foward to Hebburn, the best comedy since the inbetweeners

    Lots of brilliant stuff on. Ambassador, Greg Davies for mainstream stuff. Fresh Meat coming back.

    Tons of brilliant stand up and podcasts.. Never been better.

    The Wrong Mans with that James Corden had me laughing recently.

    Aye, wrong mans was pretty good, quite original too. Careful though, admitting you like something with corden in it is like wearing a Coldplay or Mumford tee shirt in here…

    Yep Ambassador and Wrong Mans the only programmes I make a point of watching.
    Which is 2 more than normal.

    I managed two episodes of the wrong mans before the predictability become too much to bear.

    Drifters made me chuckle though. Living in that neck of the woods made it work for me.

    Now, radio comedy is where it’s at. Have you heard any of the New comedy awards on radio 4 extra? and if ’Tom Tuck goes straight to DVD’ comes up somewhere again you will thank me for it. Truly genius.

    … James Corden …

    For some reasons I don’t think he is funny.
