'Eyes Down' the series was written by Angela Clarke but Fitzmaurice was in it. It's a while since I listened to the commentary so I don't know who Kay points the finger at or how seriously his criticism is intended but he does make some slightly sarcastic comment about Fitzmaurice being in a successful BBC comedy called 'Eyes Down'

I bet Kay and McGuiness are thick as thieves. Best mates in real life, so I reckon a lot of Kay's bravado towards others is for his benefit.

Just watching this, and I've got to say some of the funniest stuff I've seen for a while. I've been laughing all night!  Really surprised at how good it is actually and looking forward to the second bit.

The one problem I had with this was that the "crap" auditions on the X factor are funnier as they are real and genuine, also the flogging of 4/5 songs for every act was far too much, not enough funny moments for me.

I liked the bits inbetween the songs a lot more than the songs.
Everything should have a bobble on it |

It upsets me to know that you're being serious.

I agree, and it's not being suffocated by Peter Kay either.
The bits he's done, though, have been very good.

I'm loving it. I liked the clever choice of some of the songs.
Great. Am late with mad hair and can barely breathe in scary knickers. |

Neither; for saying that THIS is "lifeless dull and dreary" with the implication that Phoenix Nights isn't. Each to their own.

I love character comedy, Pheonix was about the best character comedy around.
As such I suppose it was a lousy sitcom.

I quite agree with this sentiment. The real X Factor has loopier people on it than Kay was showing. I didn't really give it much of a chance to get going though so perhaps I should watch the rest (I've taped it)
