Surprised this current series hasn't had some debate on here.

They seem to have taken on a grumpy old men of comedy mantle and also with the move from BBC1 to 2 maybe think they're under less scrutiny. They're sailing close to the wind on some sketches risking accustations of sexism/misogyny (I saw you coming) racism/xenophobia (Parking Pateweyo) homophobia (the old blokes discussing querrs).

And the biggest crime of all - it isn't really that funny. The chav family sketch for instance is a pretty accurate mirror on society but is laugh free.

Is anyone else watching?

Saw part of one show and thought it was dire.

Think it has been mentioned on FISO somewhere though - sure I remember Murf posting a comment about it.
