You live at No.42 dont you?

Is it just me or was that programme was the unfunniest comedy show ever. I
think they got on telly due to an affirmative action/racial diversity scam.
Im not a racist btw but I know funny when I see it.

What the frick are you talking about?

Anyway, based on not even knowing what you are talking about - if there
are 5 million chinese people in Britain, and there are 3 chinese people
on the whole of aminstream TV - a comedian, and a presenter and a
newsreader - and all three of them are average or worse, then you could
get rid of them, but then there would be no chinese people on TV.

Which you might think is irrelevant. Personally I think its important
that britains racial diversity is represented on TV even if the price
of that coincidentally happens to be shit TV. Because you may never get
good TV out of that whole section of society if that whole sections
kids think being on the TV is not something they can do. In an ideal
world MAYBE people wouldnt relate so much more strongly with people of
their own race MAYBE. But in the real world they do.

I thought it was funny - the conceit of having a lecherous Indian
granny particularly. One of those shows you have to decronstruct to
get the point of, methinks.

Maybe its funny once but not when its used as a mainstay as they did in the
show. Incidentally,
I thought she was the best thing on it but I thought she was distinctly
average at best.
But as a group of comedians it wasnt funny to me personally and probably
why
it isnt on the telly anymore (I dont know this for a fact as I dont watch
telly or own one for that matter).
But maybe Ive got it all wrong and have blown a funny fuse instead.
As for chimps arguement for more diversity regardless of quality. Well,
everyones different in some way
so do we all get a TV show? No. Its about quality pure and simple. TV is a
commerial enterprise, if its
no good it gets the bullet. Back to my original point though, it wasnt
funny enough to be a comedy show
in my opinion and everyone I have spoke to about it agrees. So I think it
must have been given a leg-up
to get it on the box in the first place. Theres an underlying feeling here
that minorities dont matter until
they get big enough, the irony.
To get back on topic, for this group anyways, I bet at least one of the cast
plays a mean Sitar!!!
