Never seen History Boys tbh. Was he in G&S? Mind you I only saw the first series of that.

He turned up in little bits, as one of a group of Gavin and Smithy's friends. On the stag do in series one, for instance.

Yeah maybe that's what it is then? They do have similar noses though 
Yeah, it was alright.
It was too slow. And the Americans do this sort of thing so much better.
I didn't think it was great but I think the writers have probably come up with millions of good pilot ideas but found out the only ones the idiots at BBC Three would take are the more unique wierd sounding ones, and so just written whatever shit they have to to get something on TV. I would do the same. Who wouldn't?

Who wouldn't want to write a show about a werewolf, a ghost and a vampire sharing a flat?! That just sounds like fun!

American shows tend to be tedious and self-congratulatory. This was far better.

In many ways you're an absolute arse, wrong on every subject known to man.
How would Americans make this better though?
Which Americans?
Talk about generalising.
It's great as it is, anyway.

Joss Whedon would do it better, for one.
Well, we disagree!
I think it's perfect as it is.
(although I love some of Joss Whedon's stuff.)
Anyway, no doubt some Americans will buy the rights and make their own version within the year. As with EVERY OTHER SHOW.

Yes, I'm still reeling from their take on Rentaghost.
Haha. That would actually be ace.

In all ways I'm a complete arse. Not as much as yourself of course, but still an arse.
In this case however, I am correct.
