I meant whether the concerns about the amount of coverage the BBC was giving to it were valid (you knew that though, didn't you :P)
I know at least 2 of them made complaints and neither of them read The Daily Mail. |

Silly me, fancy me quoting the 'wrong' newspaper.
Well for those who determine who they are, by what paper they are prepared to look at, its in the Independent as well.... and its even on the BBC. :) Go wash your mouth out for even suggesting it. Next time quote a more socially acceptable paper if you want to be believed:p

UK comedy is one of the best but there has also been a load of shite in the past, look at Benny Hill :rolleyes:
Not missing anything mate;) And Benny Hill was similar, but different. As with Mr Bean, it's a physical comedy type of thing that can be sold overseas without a language barrier. Given a choice between that and most aussie 'comedy' shows, I know what I'd pick... |

Mrs Brown's Boys is irish in genesis; it's only recorded in the UK. It's very much 'end of the pier' stuff, but it gets an audience of people who love that style of comedy.

Even you have to admit the Benny Hill show had advantages for the casual viewer :
