Office = Not in the least funny
Coupling = Funniest sitcome ever

When The Office eventually played here I sat through it wondering what on earth was sposed to be funny about it? I watched one episode and had to force myself to finish watching that cos it was so boringly cringeworthy. Couldn't bring myself to watch anymore.

Only an interview? What if I panic? You know, what if I say an accidental word... there’s pressure, you know, the wrong word could just pop out of my mouth by accident... Nipples!

i'm surprised to find we have something in common. ;)

Just watched a few clips. I think I'm right. I don't laugh at Friends and I didn't laugh at Coupling.

Different horses for different courses I guess. Feel free to call me a donkey or an ass ;)

If they can't hook me with the clips on the official website I'm not gonna waste any more time hunting down some actual episodes.

How many seasons of Friends do you own on DVD then -HF? ;)

[Patrick Enters Anti-Natal Class]

Sally - "Patrick?"
Susan - "Patrick?"
Jill - "Patrick?"
Yasmin - "Patrick?"
Woman - "Patrick?"
Patrick - "Blimey, so this is where you all end up?"
Sally - "Patrick, have you slept with all these women?"
Patrick - "I don't know, I've only just got here!"

it's a well known technique.

The last three episodes on The Thick Of It are all repeated tomorrow night on BBC4.

Armando Iannucci was on the radio earlier in the week and said that there will be a full 10-episode season next year.

Alan Partridge was good but the office was way better. So new and different and right at the time when you had all these annoying docu soaps. It was spot on.

Has been the funniest thing since Fawlty Towers
