But was it predictable that she would break that barrier and lick the camera lens?

Makes me laugh when Anne says "Tonight Matthew"

Okay, now this episode was good, but what the well are they doing having Judy and Maggie back?

I have nothing against them, which is uncommon, but Matt and Dave confirmed that they would be axed!

I don't know why but I found tonight's episode far funnier than last week's, the Andy and Lou with Richard and Judy was probably the funniest for me. Plus the Majorie Dawes was extremely funny.

I might be alone, but the show just doesn't make me laugh this series.

The returning characters are at best predictable, or so squewed outwith their own reality as to be, frankly, ludicrous.

Given that the new characters rely almost entirely on recurring gags, I find even them to be a bit thin for 6 episodes each.

I'd like to see the pair of them do something else - they are undoubtably talented and funny guys.

I do agree with you, Mr. Scott, but fans like myself wouldn't really be happy to know that it was axed because they can't think of anything else. They have only shown two, maybe they are saving the best 'till last.

However, I'd love to see Shooting Stars return and see Matt as George Dawes.

last nights was great. The non-shock sketches proved the best like mr mann's shop and the indian restarant. (for me anyway)

The only thing they have lost is Linda and Daffyd.

The Daffyd sketches are no longer as funny and I can't really pick out the reasons why, as it is hard to.

The Linda ones (for those who can't remember, the woman who goes on the phone to Martin and descibes a person who needs help with some work - then calls the person something offensive or cruel) these aren't really funny anymore. I think they use too many "offensive" comments before she goes "That's right..." so it loses it a bit.

Lou and Andy have definately not lost it at all. Last nights was one of the best. What I would've done, though, is when the car appeared, Andy says "four wheels" or something to describe a car.

Vicky Pollard is just trying to hang on. You can tell that she is just about to lose it but you still get a titter out of her sketches.

Anne is becoming more predictable but you can still have a laugh at what she does.

I'm still waiting for Orville, as I want to see if it's just as good as pi*s-taking Denis Waterman.

I wonder if 'Orville' has had to be cut from the series? It's slightly surpising that 2 episodes in this new character hasn't appeared. Prehaps 'Judy and Maggie' scene added in replacement, assuming it had been confirmed these two characters weren't being used for series 3.
