Having made the mistake of reading this thread the night before I got a chance to watch this week's This is England 86, I was expecting a fairly tough going rape scene but I didn't think it was that bad (nowhere near anything out of Death Wish!) but I admittedly I was already aware of what was going to happen.
I agree, I suppose there was the shock factor because I think it's been dull up to that point. Just hope it picks up now that Combo is back.
And that "punch up" in the park was one of the worst rammys I've ever seen. It was like a playgroup school fight.
WTF is so good about Gadget? I think he's a fud.
IMHO The Office is the greatest sitcom of the last 20 years. And Extras was superb too.
His stand up is shite though.
I like Karl Pilkington, I thought the podcasts were very good. The combination of Merchants wit, Pilkington's inane ramblings, and Gervais's infectious laugh made for a great show.
I'm looking forward to An Idiot Abroad tonight.
