I didn't see many of them. It was good, but it felt as though it was retreading old gound a bit.

Have you seen Asylum? Early nineties. It had a loose-fitting plot shaped around what was essentially sketches. With Simon Pegg*, two Jessica Stevensons*, Julian Barratt** and Norman Lovett***, plus a different standup comedian each week (including Bill Bailey****).

* Spaced
** Mighty Boosh
*** Red Dwarf
**** Unchallenged King Of All

There was some comedy about some priests on an island, but it's name escapes me.

That was brilliantly silly. I have the set.

Trailer Park Boys is very funny, not well known enough in my opinion. It can be found (legally) on Paramount Comedy late at night.

I watched an episode of "Hyperdrive" (a BBC 3 comedy set in Space but different to Red Dwarf) last night for the first time, Was quite funny actually and features Spaced and B3ta/5punk favourite Nick Frost. Also the guy from Big Train, Jam, Black Books and most funny comedies, whose name escapes me.

Nick Frost. He and Pegg are often in The 99p Challenge on BBC 7 too.

Ah, Eldon. The Kevin Bacon of comedy. He's been in everything.

Thanks for the fuckloads of suggestions, guys

Such as his propensity to wear women's clothing and eat auto parts?

Extras is proving to be extremely funny this series, partly due to the shear absurdity of the embaressing situations. Watch it.

Glancing at it last night I did manage to see Ronnie Corbett snorting coke off a toilet seat.
I think I may make more of an effort to watch this now.

I really wanted to go to our Station Summer Ball as Klinger this year (theme was 80s TV), but just didn't have the time to get the dress and hat. Pity, I already have the dog-tags and boots obviously and I was trying to persuade Mrs Pants to go as Houlahan. Still, there were several Daisy Dukes there, one of which borrowed a pair of my socks to boost her, ummm costume, after thrusting her cleavage at me and asking if they were big enough. The socks were a result of my reply of 'no'.

What were we talking about?
