Aarrgghh, forgot this was on. Caught some New Statesman last night so that makes up for it.
Anyone watched The New Statesman? If not, buy the Series 1-4 boxset off Amazon for £16.
Rik Mayall plays a Conservative MP during the 80s (their reign of power basically) and comes up with all sorts of twisted plans to get his own way. Mayall is perfect as Alan B'Stard.

True but I hardly watch TV these days and I really would only watch a couple of programmes on BBC3/4, I've already got analogue cable so don't need it for anything else.This space left intentionally blank.

His latest show was reasonably good, too. But i think it would have much improved in a second series. 'Believe nothing' I believe it was called. -

Registered 11 years agoEasily the best show of the year so far.
Armando is probably the funniest Scottish/Italian man of all time.
Oh, just a small correction to the OP, the also excellent Curb Your Enthusiasm was on BBC4 (since snatched by E4 to be shown at 3 in the morning or something stupid, fecking idiots), although that obviously wasn't homegrown. -

Registered 9 years agoi missed the second episode, darnit. is it repeated over the weekend?
first episode was fantastic, and from what i gather that's the weakest in the series

Curb Your Enthusiasm is something I really enjoy as well. Only the seen episode 'Porno Gill' on BBC4, but I'd love to catch some more at some time. But at 3 in the morning? You're right, they are fecking idiots.

He fronted part of an anti-Europe advertising campaign by dressing up as Hitler and making out that it was another way of them taking us over :/

Nice timing to bump this! I finished off the second half of series one, and both the specials yesterday, and am just taking a quick break from In The Loop for toilet visits and snacks.
I washed my hands. -
Oh, and the film finishes in half an hour. Cracking timing. Meant to be. Destiny. All that stuff.
