Possibly even better when viewed in the context of Mr G - The Musical (song starts at 2:28):

The best and the worst of the UK

Friday 30 November 2007

There's nothing I like on TV these days.
Apart from the fantastic Flight of the Conchords, all saved up on the PVR for a rainy day marathon, all I record now is filler TV, the kind of stuff I play back at 1.5 speed while folding laundry (i.e. Project Runway, The X Factor and Ugly Betty).
Last [...]

Touch Me, I'm Karen Taylor

Tuesday 19 June 2007

Touch Me, I'm Karen Taylor is a new comedy show on BBC Three. Very funny - and at last a sketch show that does not rely almost exclusively on catchphrases (remember Little Miss Jocelyn? 'It's going to take a looong time').
Best bit in episode 1: Cash Cow, the late-night quiz show.
Best bit in episode 2 [...]
