The current crop of BBC Comedy shorts is utterly abysmal...

Here's hoping the still upcoming Elaine C Smith led Govan Fair Queen can salvage the lot.

Probably best off just watching, and appreciating, the old classics - short or otherwise - that are now being made available across several different channels rather than keep trying out the new ones and then wondering afterwards why you bothered and if you'll ever get that 15 minutes or 30 minutes back again.

Do you ever get any of it back again though Billy?

Oh yes. The morning flight from Podgorica to Istanbul leaves at 08:30 and arrives at 08.15. That gives you just enough time to watch a 15 minute BBC comedy short without actually expending any of your valuable time.
