Does anyone know when Distraction will be back on Channel 4?
I don't know if this should be in the Requests Forum but...

Thanks

I really think we've had enough of Jimmy Carr for the time being. Rolling Eyes

It's not listed in C4's autumn press pack. Jimmy Carr's just signed up to do a second season of the US version, though. So that might turn up on E4 at some point.

Distraction is probably the worlds worst programme! its showing 9.30pm over here in nz on tv2 and i find it rather sick, and the hosts jokes not funny.

The only thing funny is Leigh Francis' skit on A Bear's Tail of Jimmy.

I wouldn't go that far, but I think the original poster would probably be able to get his fix from Balls of Steel.

It's like a mix of Distraction, Trigger Happy TV and Jackass, except it's unoriginal, repetitive, tired and, oh yeah, not particularly funny. I do like Channel 4, but think the Supernanny, Clean House, What you Eat and Balls of Steel-style formats have all pretty much run their course.

Trigger Happy TV would have to be by far the best.

I actually thought Distraction was quite good- by far the best Jimmy Carr channel 4 vehicle gong....and certainly better than the now recomisssioned 8 out of 10 cats (which was woeful).
