Mock The Week

Has anyone been watching this series? I recently got Frankie Boyle's Podcast, it's quite interesting to see him getting focus groups to research what is funny to people, really good!

I have to admit the first couple of episodes were a bit slow, but the last 2 episodes have been on top form. I managed to listen to Frankies podcast and as you say it's quite a good idea of him testing new material before broadcast, if it is broadcastable.

Tomorrow's is a clip show though according to listings. Best of the series so far.

I think too much of MTW is being taken up now by Frankie Boyle IMO.

I agree, I'd love to hear more from Hugh Dennis and Russell Howard, less of the domination from Frankie and Andy.

Andy in no way dominates, it's Russell and Frankie at the moment.

I'd agree with that, Andy usually comes into his own during the Spin The Wheel round though. I don't mind Frankie dominating (but not too much), I always find him amusing-- although Hugh seems to be 'holding back' some how this series. I'm enjoying the guest appearances by Stewart Francis though, a much under-rated comedian in my view.

Confirmed according to the official website - www.mocktheweek.tv

Stewart Francis (no relation) is a breath of fresh air on the show. Really enjoyed his stand up skits over the last couple of weeks. I won't be surprised though if Hugh quits at the end of the series. Funny though he is, he just doesn't seem interested anymore.

Liking the new series, first few weren't the greatest, liked it when Michael Macintyre came in for a show. Russell is a favourite, as are Andy and Frankie.

I fail to find Andy Parsons amusing, but the others are all good. I think David Mitchell should be on more as he's always been very funny on it, and deserves better than the "Would I Lie to You?" show on Monday nights which is very scripted - something he even pointed out on the show!

I guess the filming schedule for Would I Lie to You? allows for a series to be recorded over a couple of days as opposed to Mock The Week which needs to be current.

I think Micheal MacIntyre should come on for a few episodes, cause I love it when he's there. Frankie's been great, but first two where kinda slow, I can't wait for the rest of the series

Hugh Dennis doing the Royal family clips make me laugh.
