Why is there never comedy on a Tuesday? On every other day of the week you will get comedy! But never on a Tuesday to this day, I have never seen comedy on any of the 5 main channel!

Supernova - the new Rob Brydon show. Tuesdays at 10 on BBC2.

There you go! Very Happy

Because Tuesday is the day for the likes of What Not To Wear, Natural World, Emmerdale, The Bill and other things.

Comedy is for Fridays anyway (Oh yeah, thanks Channel 4 for your effort)

You are so like my friend who can't say WANT and says WONT. If you want to know, ask the companies yourself. You had the courage and stupidity to call Nickelodeon to complain about their "Coming Soon" idents because they made no sense.

Now, Now. I'd have perferred "backward" and "issue obsessed" and even possibly "celebrity obsessed" but "demented" Never?

The title of this thread however would suggest some idea of "demented" although I have neither the time nor effort to worry of the scheduling of comedy on a tuesday night.

The words Common and Sense are clearly missing from this equation.

I read that too - back in 2001!

I don't know why he's singled out Tuesday - apart from Fridays, there is nothing but the odd programme on - though BBC2 have now finally reinstated it's Monday night comedy slot!

Also notice in C4's 2006 season they are putting alot of emphasis on the Friday night schedule again. And even sooner, the brilliant Peep Show is back next week at 10pm!


As for Tuesdays - High Hopes, 9pm BBC2W!

Yes..Peep Show is criminally under-rated though. (CH4 have apparently ordered scripts for a movie version!) 'The IT Crowd' sounds promising too. I Can't believe they're bringing back 'The Friday Night Project' though - that was dire, although the next series will be Jimmy Carr-less - He's being replaced by Justin Lee Collins.
