A totally unfunny over-rated pile of pants
Both Shooting Stars and the IT Crowd far funnier IMO
Love all three, but M&W definitely is one the best sketch shows of recent years, maybe since the untouchable The Fast Show?
I've not seen any of the previous series but watched the last two weeks as I've liked David Mitchell in other shows I've seen him on but so far just not getting M&W - maybe it will grow on me.
Not as funny as it used to be.
I have a mate who works for a BBC company who put it out on DVD. He told me after the sucess of the Peep Show the BBC offered M&W a six figure sum for DVD rights. It totally flopped and the news series they reluctantly paid £20k for DVD rights and they did that for political reasons.
Peep show is fantastic but its written by someone other than M&W so my mate tells me.
The new series is as funny as canver sadly as I like them.
