I also like The Thick Of It on BBC2.
Vicious satirical comedy = brilliant  I watched Imagine when i got in last night and it was all about the sitcom format and how it had changed, it was quite interesting especially as it focused on a few of my favourites i.e The peep show and Green wing .They also featured the new show thats starting Friday on channel four, The I.T show,which might be worth trying to catch as its by one of the blokes who wrote Father Ted. |

What's that BBC 2 comedy called that I keep running into at the moment with the fat chap from Spaced in it
I think its called Hyperdrive.I've not been that impressed with it,personally i find Desperate housewifes more amusing,but it has had a few moments i suppose and the cast is good. the main bloke in that space one sounds like brent all the time, its pap |

That me chuckle this evening. Mangina indeed.
Is the 1st series much cop? May have to invest in the DVD.
Having seen all of that Hyperdrive it did peeter out quite badly. Had a couple of decent moments but didn’t continue some of it’s early promise. Any comedy sci-fi will always struggle compares to the first 3-4 series of Red Dwarf before it went cack.

I thought it was quality tonight. Only seen the last three episodes but they've all been very funny. I really like Naboo and the gorilla who is Nathan Barley I believe. Pretty much all the Nathan Barley characters are on there, the guy who played Dan Ashcroft is good too.

Before each episode Howard and Vince have a little chat about various things, the best one was where Howard threatened Vince "Do you want me to take you out for dinner with Mr and Mrs Pain?, serve you up a violent quiche!?"  |

I haven't seen last nights yet,but the last couple of episodes have been particulary ace The character Richard Ayoade[my new comedy hero] played was very funny,obssesed as he was with 'the crunch' and the Goth hair spray made from Robert Smiths' tears  |

First series dvd is a definate buy if anybodys wondering about it. I watched most of the second series online on the bbc website as they were letting you watch them a week before they were shown on bbc3.
Like to see all the second series again but keep forgetting when it's on bbc2 and can't afford the dvd at the moment.
Oddly the weakest episode in the first series probably has one of the funniest bits in it; the Charlie animation in the book writing episode is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
