LB is so predictable now.

The "ladies" sketch is dull and boring, as is Bubbles and her not-so-convincing fat suit.

I wasn't too impressed with it to be honset, the women peeing the supermaket really gave a good hard laugh, But I think the novelty of it has started to ware off now.

I was expecting to be disappointed, particularly as I found a lot of the second series seemed weaker than the first. However, I thought last night marked a return to form. I found myself laughing much of the way through it.

I know a lot of the criticism is that it's become predictable... but I think that's just the nature of catchphrase humour - the reason it's funny is because you know what's going to happen... and it does.

Vicky Pollard was definately the best sketch

It got a massive 9.5m viewers last night, many of whom probably think EastEnders is quality drama! Laughing


I was incredibly disapointed - I thought it was awful. It lost it's way mid-season 2, and now just seems to go for gross out gags, something I don't recall being part of the success of the first series.

I found it a bit disappointing too... even though there are new aspects to the old characters (such as Bubbles's new nemesis) it's still the same old stuff. Old ladies weeing themselves in supermarkets was OK once, but what about the sixth time?

Also, I think BBC1 is the wrong place for it. THe best moment of Little Britain was the old lady saying to the vicar: "I've said it before and I'll say it again: what that boy needs is a nice big c*ck up his ar*e". That was on BBC3, and cut on BBC1. I prefer the nudity and swearing to the general humour purveyed on BBC1.

Uhh, you naughty boy! Get upstairs and wash that filthy mouth of your's out with soap!

I can think of somewhere I'd like to "shuv" Little Britain but let's just say Ceefax that that would be sensored on BBC One.
