Welcome to Scallywagga – a spanking-new sketch show straight out of the north of England. It’s fast paced and innovatively immature enough to appeal to the subversive adolescent in everyone.
Its cast of characters include Asbo PIN, who has an uncanny knack of predicting people’s PIN numbers; pastry-obsessed Gregs Girl; and Adrian, whose parents resort to increasingly bizarre measures to disown him. Plus, there’s always a party on the go and plenty of trips to Scallywagga High.
The series features rising young comedy stars Carl Rice, Jessica Hall, Luke Gell, Joanna Higson, Stefan Gumbs, Lena Kaur, Scott Taylor and Curtis Cole. They are aided and abetted by the slightly more grown-up Sally Lindsay (Coronation Street), Steve Edge (The Visit) and Neil Fitzmaurice (Phoenix Nights).

Hello, i’m William McKenzie and i’m proud of how well i’m doing at making friends in my new school. So far i’m up to one real friend (simon) a sort of semi-mate, who’s really a friend of his (neil) and a person i sort of hang around with but to be honest i think is a dickhead (Jay Cartwright).
Acceptance isn’t all, i know that, but it is a nice thing and i understand it will take time. I could do with it taking a bit less time, but there you go.
My interests are legion (it means many) and various. Books, rollercoasters and girls all feature highly and i’m hoping that i can meet a girl who enjoys these things. I haven’t met many so far, but here’s hoping.
I live with my mum who is separated from my father. My friends like to come round to stare at her because they believe, mistakenly, that she is fit. She isn’t, she’s like a mum.
I intend to have a career in politics or the media after i’ve attended one of the top universities in the country (maybe durham) and travelled a bit. I’d like to go to Australia really as i’m quite a fan of the New Zealand pop group “crowded house”. They are a bit old these days (although they did release a new album last year) but i think their breed of pop is timeless.
I have a wide musical taste though and am also into a new band called ‘bedtime for toys’. They have influences that range from punk to pop, their lyrics are intense and poetic, but mainly i like them because i fancy the singer.

So it's asset-stripped Little Britain then? FSVO 'asset' obviously.

First off, this is not one of those blogs that twats write to make them feel like they’ve achieved something with their lives. “oooh this is what I think, isn’t it important, but also funny.” No, it’s not. It’s embarrassing. No one cares. Grow up. Stop clogging up the internet, you’re taking up valuable porn space. Blog twats.

Scallywagga really does look like a fucking embarrassment for all concerned. Even the trailers make me want to shoot my neighbours.
I saw a one-off dramedy thing about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost living together in a London flat which actually looked alright - I think it was on one of those "here's a bunch of pilots, let's see which one sticks" strands on BBC Three.
Buggered if I can remember what it's called though, which isn't all that helpful for me or them.

Strictly Baby Fight Club C4 Thursday 24 April 2008 9pm
This powerful, one-off observational documentary offers a rare insight into child Thai boxing, one of the fastest growing martial arts in the UK with now over 500 registered clubs teaching this sport.
Children as young as four or five are becoming the latest recruits to organised fighting, where some people's attitude is: if you're good enough to fight, you're old enough.
Now, Channel 4's Cutting Edge strand enters the competitive and sometimes obsessive worlds of four families who are investing everything into training their kids to be the best young fighters in Britain. The film follows five primary school children: Miah and her twin brother Kian, Thai, Connor and Sohan.

What's with the title?

Or - making kids fight is terrible - let's watch them cry!

Right, so these are more Oxbridge grad twat writers having a snobby laugh.
Sometimes I can see Pol Pot's point.

If we wait long enough, all Blue Jam sketches will be made into actual TV shows. Urine injections and therapeutic crucifixion to follow.
