"Where's me washboard?"
Dec. 16th, 2005 11:10 amOh, Squiddy! Where have you been? We missed you!
Well, chums, I have had the lurgy (of doom) and have mostly been lolling around on the sofa watching crappy television and ignoring the outside world. But it's OK now. I think. Your heroine has once again returned to an upright position and is filled with enough energy to whine about all the crappy TV she's been absorbing.
So - the British Comedy Awards. Apparently you're only allowed near an award if you're Ricky Gervais, Catherine Tate, David Walliams or Matt Lucas. And how did Johnathan Ross get nominated for *everything*? All he's done this year is the same thing he's done every other year for most of time and hosted a slightly amusing late night talk show. And there I was thinking that British Comedy included things like 'Black Books', 'The Mighty Boosh', 'QI' and 'Peep Show'. But no! Apparently not! Series 3 of Little Britain (still recycling the same jokes which first appeared in every episode of Series 1) is far funnier.
And another thing - Why don't they have awards for Best stand-up or Best Quiz? Live comedy (which is brilliant) has been completely disregarded and one minute of 'Never mind the Buzzcocks' is far funnier that Johnathan Ross' entire career.
However, I was amused to learn that this year's Best TV comedy Actor, Chris Langham, who wasn't able to collect his award in person due to an (alleged) case of flu was actually in the slammer thanks to his Glitter-like tendencies. Lending a bit of credibility to the whole thing there then. Nice.
