- The best thief you'll never see.
Was just beaten to being the worst by the car episode.
The other night I tried to watch a Lee Mack standup performance and thought it was crap. I like him on panel shows as he's really good at quick fire off the cuff unscripted stuff, but it didn't transfer well at all for me into a stage performance.
Im not much into comedians on stage these days, they seem to talk about the most mundane things and the audience laugh. The ones I have laughed at are Peter Kay, Ross Noble, Jimmy Carr(although don't like as a person), the first show of Sean Lock I enjoyed but not the second. Ricky Gervais thought his Animals show very good but each following been progressively worseThe other night I tried to watch a Lee Mack standup performance and thought it was crap.

You said you don't follow the show, so can't really say one way or the other if its the cream of the crop of sitcoms. I think it had an excellent run before this situation change and time jump. That was a terrible episode you watched, we all thought so. Nothing wrong with gross out humour when it's actually funny.
Oh twadiI've seen many episodes from the older series. I've just not seen any since it changed things up. It's a show that as far as I've seen is on a downward spiral. Although, I've seen a couple more eps from this series and they were decent, amusing. Nothing more.
Not one of the best but way way better than the one with the kids in it and quite funny with the parents at the end.
may be at the rate there going they could have that 4th child age 10 and the other 3 left home and got jobscould be a seasonal ep, put back until Easter/Halloween/Christmas

About to shoot Series 9. Studio audience tickets now released.
Can Lee and Lucy agree on the true meaning of Christmas?
There was Count Arthur Strong, not as funny as the radio series and killed off anyway.the sitcom scene is thriving away from the major channels but it's sad that once upon a time the prime time/main channel comedy shows were of the highest calibre (only fools and horses being the greatest example but also fawlty towers to blackadder and everything in between) and now all they can produce is this pathetic whimper.
The 2015 xmas special of NGO was the most painful, poor, unfunny and pointless of all. Signalled the death knell of the BBC 1 christmas special for me, a once proud tradition that does not have a place in today's listings. (the only other xmas specials of recent days I can remember are Mrs Brown's Boys and Citizen Khan)
