You know how the BBC puts out sitcoms which exist seemingly inexplicably when compared with their quality, charm, humour, or admission from literally any human alive that they'd consider watching it?

 

Having just seen this trailer I was about to post the same. Fuck me, the trailer is meant to draw you in, to entice you to watch.

Catherine Tait caterwauling "me, me, me, me"...who the fuck wants to watch that?

I had to see it more than once to be sure it wasn't a horrible nightmare brought on by the heat.

Am incredibly late to the party but I've recently started watching Would I Lie To You, mainly due to the frequently used meme on P&B of Bob Mortimer reading from the card. Normally I detest celebrity-based game shows as rather than answer the question they try to outdo each other in being funny. But this is great.

David Mitchell's exasperation at having to deal with Bob Mortimer's stories is hilarious in itself.

Some of Bob's best moments:

My favourite one.

They are all pretty good but the dentistry one is my favourite. 

Some of the non-comedians are terrible but they get ripped apart by Brydon and in particular Mack. Some of them turn out to be decent though.

Some of the better non-Bob Mortimer guests are Chris MacAusland, Richard Osman and especially Henning Wein.

I have a visceral reaction to her. I think she must be a demon or something.

I had to stop watching the American version of The Office when she turned up towards the end and it became clear she was going to be a permanent addition to the cast. There's something so awful about her that it makes me feel ill. My nightmare is being forced to watch a chat show of her being interviewed by James Corden for eternity.

Shortly before the apocalypse, there will be a TV announcement.

"And now, Catherine Tate and James Corden in their remake of the best of Mrs Brown's Boys"

Which TBF would make the apocalypse a blessed relief.

Please all watch There She Goes. My sister also has a chromosomal condition (1p36 deletion syndrome). It is the most accurate representation of growing up I've ever had

Go back and watch the rest. She comes in playing her usual obnoxious character but they dial her right down soon after and she kind of fades away. Some brilliant episodes missed if you genuinely stopped watching. 

 

 

Changing Ends. Sitcom based on the childhood of Alan Carr. Decent 6-parter. Not belly aching laughs but good for a wee chuckle. The wee guy playing Alan is definitely going to be picking up a comedy award as he was outstanding. Co-wrote by Simon Carlyle (Two Doors Down).

I keep meaning to - it's been long enough that I've been tempted to watch it again from the beginning anyway.

She's one of those rare people who seems to be able to turn me off from anything, no matter what she does. There's probably a nightmare universe where she replaces Danny DeVito in Always Sunny, becomes the only recurring cast member in Black Mirror, and is the new Big Bad in the MCU.
