doc_newstead Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Yeah, I sort of watch it on BBC Three (it used to be on pretty much every night). I can only assume that they delayed on mainstreaming it because a lot of the 'jokes' rely on shock value with sensitive subjects. Especially that closetted gay guy (I think those sketches are pretty funny actually ). It's not laugh-out-loud funny, but a few of the jokes are knuckle-biting, awkward funny (like 'Curb Your Enthusiasm'). You go "Oh God, they can't say that can they?!". There was one set of sketches involving an elderly German man, who kept embarassingly letting slip he was an SS officer. The show ended with a scene in an old people's home... You'd have to see it really. Shocking, and maybe too near the knuckle. Came downstairs and saw my gf's family watching it (they've got Sky, so why they've never watched BBC 3 before is beyond me). Believe me when I tell you that they're a lot less open-minded than myself (but still nice), and I could the see mixture of disbelief and confusion on their faces Link to post Share on other sites
