Much of the start of BBC comedy came in the 40s and 50s from exforces entertainers such as the Goons.

Who then inspired generations of writers into the 80s.

Perhaps BBC comedy needs a really deadly, appocalyptic war?

The signs for this series really aren't good I have to say. The BBC have not only now delayed the start by another week - but it looks like Clone is also now destined to go out in a graveyard slot on Monday

Does that mean 10.30 or later?

Isn't 10:30 BBC3's prime comedy slot after 9 on Sundays?

Terrific. Mark Gattis getting more f**king work. Like there aren't a gazillion better actors.

Not the greatest comedy product from the BBC.

I've flicked over to Virgin1 Star Trek Voyager.

7 of 9 is in a silver jump suit.

Happiness.

That actress has a weird face. I haven't watched this; it just hasn't pulled me in.

The face isn't my major area of interest.

Er, interesting. Light on laughs. The premise is essentially a good one, but just from that first episode I don't have the best feeling about the show.

I didn't laugh once. I'll give it another chance though.
