Anyone see it on BBC2 tonight? Pretty good, and as much as I hate Rory McGrath, he was actually quite witty. Excellent observations, and well worth it to hear Geoffrey Palmer say the word 'Wanker'

I found it worrying as well Mags, mind you, Geldoff was spot on about teen mags for kids. I'll give him that!!
See the birds with beer guts with crop tops? Ugh!!

Not having the benefit of BBCtv I thought perhaps this was another post about Mods, no, not those really nice young guys who are the backbone of this wonderful site but the sort who used to ride scooters-they must be getting on a bit by now.

I really enjoyed this program(it made me laugh)I agree With Magoo About the Bob Geldof one about Teen Magazines,Mind you he cracked me up about double glazing salesman on the phone(When he just said Fuck OFF).
and about boy bands and girl bands calling the music shite and just drivel.(Bob you have to blame morons like Simon Fuller,Simon Cowell etc for this Shite and Drivel in todays Music Charts).

I certainly be watching it next week(mainly for comedy Value).

That was me who observed Geldof's quip about Teen Mags, very correct IMO.
I loved the missing apostrophe's in Barons Court and Earl's Court and the letter from Ken Livingstone with deliberate mis-placing of them.
A series well worth taping for those that missed it

Girls with tubby tummies, cropped tops, loads of rings on their fingers, gold chain around their neck & huge earings, usually with some spooty oaf in tow & sometimes pushing a pushchair with their sprog in it........!!
