James. Corden. So over-rated and pointless I can barely say the name as a part of a sentence for fear of lapsing into a coma.
Yes, this is Quintessential Comedy, the place where we celebrate the best in British Comedy.
But just sometimes the worst gets a mention.
Mong and Bint is fucking shit. Fact. [...]

Just Carry On…
[singlepic=68,320,240,,right]The Carry On series ran from 1958 till 1978 and other than a brief stop off in the New World in 1992’s Carry On Columbus has never managed to get back on its feet. Personally I would fund a new movie like a shot if I had the money… perhaps producers should consider a public [...]
BBC Talent?
A quick read of the Independent interview with bearded gag-vacuum Justin Lee Collins revealed that the cider drinking buffoon got a break via BBC Talent.
Oh I could tell you a thing or two about BBC Talent…
Back in the day when I was a struggling writer and musician, I entered the BBC Talent competition with a [...]
Dad’s Army Links
[singlepic=66,320,240,,right]Anyone tuning in to the BBC’s Dad’s Army tribute on Sunday evening might be interested in a few Dad’s Army web links.

Ripping Yarns!

Weekend of Comedy
If Dad’s Army birthday celebrations on Sunday night aren’t your cup of tea, why not settle down with another excellent Would I Lie To You? tonight and a repeat of Mock the Week on Saturday night?
You can get past the fact that Angus Deayton currently looks older than Clive Dunn, and that David Mitchell still [...]
Dad’s Army Anniversary
The 40th anniversary of Dad’s Army is upon us, and this Sunday on BBC Two Jonathan Ross will host a special broadcast at 7pm.
Despite the series’ immense popularity over the years, it is true to say that latterly the advenures of Captain Mainwaring and company haven’t really received the level of regard that perhaps they [...]
West Country Comics
Just to make me look daft following comments bemoaning the lack of televised support of amateur standup, ITV has announced a six-part series filmed at comedy clubs around the South West of England.
Hosted by comic Arthur Smith, Arthur Smith’s Comedy Club will air from Thursday September 4th on ITV at 11pm, but only in the [...]

Gervais’ Millions
[singlepic=28,320,240,,right]Not content with bending the USA to his whimsical will, Ricky Gervais has moved beyond the realm of the former Iron Curtain. It’s true - David Brentski will soon become a star in Russia just as he did in the US and of course the UK before that.
The Russian version of The Office - [...]
