Blackadder - nowhere near as funny as people seem think and about 20% as witty*
The third series is the best as Hugh Laurie is a revelation as Prince George, followed by the second one - although Rik (sic) Mayall almost manages to completely ruin the entire series in a matter of seconds just by being in it, the solid-gold quad-bike CUNT.

The fourth series is ruined by the gay ending - I'm watching Black fucking Adder you spastics: if I want a poignant reminder of the horrors of war I shall visit the Somme: I certainly don't want one from Richard pissing Curtis, some dry ice and a bit of slowed-down film. It's the sort of thing that the kind of trendy teacher who'd ask the class to call them by their first name would make you watch to 'really make you think, yeah'? It's embarassing and pathetic in equal measures.

*or maybe I'm just as miserable as a miserable stoat who's just been given two weeks to live by doctor McMiserable etc etc zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

*takes deep breath to refute Monty's vicious tirade*
*can't be arsed*

Anyway Monty, I watched the London Rock and Roll DVD last night, mostly trying to see my ugly mug, but I couldn't find me. Nor my brother, who was in a black drape with ice blue facings. It brought back many happy memeories though. I didn't realise there were any hippy types there at all, they must have steered clear of the teds.

Did you spot Wilko Johnson playing guitar for the frankly awful Heinz?
