"Hello, sah, I am calling from your bank."

"Talk to me."

Beatbox guy - good.

Oasis - bad.

Excellent replacement to the genre vacated by Trigger Happy TV.

By Oasis I mean the Oasis Mouse. Basically anything with a chipmunk voice effect is a positive no-no.

I was still giggling like a drunk thing throughout the second episode, though it may have lost a bit of its sheen. Or maybe the booze wasn't as good.

Oh, and I know I'm a week late, but what I really meant to say about Cape Wrath was that the detective-who-wasn't-a-future-surgeon from Life on Mars was of course in it, being almost as mysterious.

Which was nice. Just by being he managed to give me the shivers even without anything else he was up to.


And I meant to talk about Jekyl, which I'm really enjoying (nice one, Steven Moffat, who incidentally wrote that piss-poor 1999 Children in Need Doctor Who special before graduating to the real thing), and Rome, which I enjoy when I've got subtitles on (apart from when it covers up the good visual bits)

Now resolved.

Of course the second episode of Cape Wrath I found to be a little lacking. A little lacklustre.

You're right, there's definately been something missing in the way of quickfire-sketches (like you say a la Trigger Happy TV).

Tommy Tibbs the purchaser of ladders was good. Not to mention the hotel guest that wanted the consierge of the hotel to come up and give him a leather belt spanking...!

And when mixed up with the endless joy of prank phonecalling... bliss!

Can't get into Rome right now, so to speak. It doesn't seem the same without Ciarán Hinds.

Re: the consierge sketch I loved the bit at the end when the FJ pokes the pedicab rider with his mobile. Hee hee!


I almost forgot about the ISP guy.
Pay as you goings...it's all your faultings.

And now we've got Heroes starting on the Beeb (I stupidly decided to wait rather than watching on the Sci Fi channel - I was worried I might miss an episode by accident since I don't hang around the channel that often, which is stupid reasoning considering it seemed to be repeated pretty much every night of the week).

And The Wire on FX starting from the very first series (people with FX who missed it can watch the first episode on the Guardian website).

Sweet cathode ray joy!
