Looking at the latest edition of OFCOM's Programme Complaints Bulletin, I see that one individual has complained about My Parents Are Aliens on the ground of "Religious Offence" in the episode aired May 13th. Must have been the punishment episode. It's attracted quite a few complaints, that episode over the months if you look back through Ofcom/ITC archives.

Does the person who plays the Doctor (Peter Cocks) put in his own lines when they are in the lab on MoM?. Sounds like he does sometimes.

He probabally does. Improvisation is always the key to good comedy, there was always loads on the SM:TV sketches.

The Mucha Lucha sketch before the second episode is funny, and when the doctor intrupts and says something like "Stephen are you going to share your funny?"

and im sure a couple of lines were added in last week when the doctor showed us how to make big bubbles:

Doctor: This is the cord from my pyjamas

Stephen: Im sure i've seen those before

Doctor: well you only saw them a couple of hours ago

Crew: oooh

Doctor: When i was getting ready in my dressing room, Thankyou very much, you over there less of it, you bad lad!.

Surprised no comments about this weeks show.

Well, MOM still didn't show the final scene from Sabrina, the teenage witch but showed the beginning scene and didn't cut any scenes from the middle so thats better but I really hope they show the very FINAL ep in FULL.
Anyway, todays show was quite good, the Doctor was funny as ever but didn't appear at the end because he had to change to play a "guest" on the show called 'Roland Butter'. Its looking more and more certain that the twins are axed from the show but might just be on a long holiday. I hope they haven't axed them because I think they are a good addition to the show. Cakey sk8 is getting a bit boring really as its the only game they have on their now. I am liking the new addition called 'The Mayhems', perhaps it should turn into a chums thing and have a set in the studio with some more jokes added in.
Overall, a little bit of a boring show but still watchable. I'll give it a 7/10.

Was MoM given extra air time this week? CD:UK was scheduled to start at 11:40 this week, i was wondering why MoM was going way over 11:25 when they're supposed to finished!.

I liked the Doctors rap yesterday, the doctor is getting funny each week! That new gunge tank stopped working, the gunge stopped pouring out half way through!.

I Knew that was the doctor!, His small cockney accent while talking to Michael, Stephen and Holly gave it a way!. They cake fights are boring now at the end of Cakey Sk8, I've got a few old episodes on tape where a cake fight would break out non-scripted and Michael would say something like "excuse me for a minute" and throw a few cakes back to Polly and Stephen!.

Towards the start of the show Peter Cocks (as Roland) put in a 'call' to the Ministry, and when talking to Stephen, mentioned Globo Loco and said something like 'I like the Dad on that, he's good', Dad of GL being another of Peter's characters...

Ahh right - I thought it was a non-puppeteer or trainee Puppeteer.

I know that the Puppet was built by Neil Sterenberg.

I thought it sounded like Don Austin - But Don is a tad better.

I saw something on CiTV the other day about them going on location to toher sets every soon etc. Will they be up to something in the studio while they are doing this? As there was talk about CiTV moving to London or Granada Quay Street.
