MAN: What's he want now, eh?
[Him from next door enters - he's a stereotyped Pakistani character.]
HIM: Ah, Mr Eddie. I was wondering if I could be borrowing a cup of sugar for my lunch.
MAN: What's he say?
WOMAN: He said he wants you to give him a punch.
MAN: Ah. [He does so.]
HIM: Oooh, ooh! You misunderstanding me, I am asking for sugar. That is why I am here.
MAN: I can't understand a bleedin' word he's saying!
WOMAN: He says he wants you to give him a thick ear.
MAN: Oh, right. [He obliges.]
HIM: Oooow, ooooh!

which makes a point, and a good one, about representations of race in current affairs broadcasting. 'little britain' isn't in the same game, let alone the same ballpark.

this is what i've been trying to say. the workings of, say, 'brass eye' are incalculably more interesting than the dumb-as-shit plodding idiocy of LB. to compare the two is futile.

still the greatest (if you bear in mind its importance and the effect it had as well as its quality) single episode of television there has ever been.

Dumb comedy = Not Going Out. An entire show based around the premise of using as much of Lee Mack's standup (generally unfunny) and Tim Vine's standup (hit and miss, usually fairly amusing) routines and then fashioning a ridiculously bad plot around them. Basically, it is extremely shite, but can also raise a giggle. But you'd be better watching Tim Vine doing stand-up rather than Tim Vine shoe-horning his stand-up into a ludicrous domestic sitcom.

There was a new comedy series on BBC 3 last night called Thieves Like Us. I could not really pay attention as I was engaged in conversation, but it featured the Goldie lookalike from The Smoking Room. Perhaps we can see a BBC 3 mafia beginning to form, what with the rise and rise of Myfanwy off Little Britain, etc.
Anyway, was this programme any good? It involved nicking tellies, like on Max and Paddy.
