The Tuckers

[Niigata Jack]

Goodness Gracious Me wins that all day.
Toe curling.

I'll disagree with you on that.
Some very intelligent observational comedy-the socially ambitious couple who refers to himself as StJohn rather than Sanjay is extremely clever at looking at both Indian and British prejudice and reflected in current society and politicians.

The silly- Smeeta Smitten and 'a small aubergine auntie' both done to perfection by Meera Syall.

And not forgetting everyone gets tanked up on lassis on a Friday night and goes for an English. "Give me something really bland".

Till Death us do part as made a comeback :shock:

Bit surprised at that to be honest, not exactly PC as I recall.

Keith Lemon , I find nothing funny at all in his performance , although some viewers will enjoy his humour .

Look at Me I am Outrageous and crude , total rubbish .

He's just a parody of the class idiot we all had in school during our teens.

 

[dickythorpe]

The unfunniest of unfunny ‘comedies’, despite the efforts if some of the decent cast. I actually started a thread on this when I saw an episode of the first series and I see it hasn’t improved. BBC Wales should have canned it, awful.

Robert Pugh has to fund his beer on his rounds down Mumbles mun :lol:

I bet he loves popping to The Pilot and uses Jammy Red Roo as mouthwash

 

[MrSwerve]

I enjoy it tbh, just because it is an utterly shit Welsh comedy.

Got nothing on High Hopes!

You should be ashamed of yourself mentioning High Hopes, in the same breath as that abomination :shock:

 

[exiledclaseboy]

High Hopes was worse.

Agreed. Wouldn't put Goodness Gracious Me up there in the pantheon of British comedy but mentioning it alongside the likes of the truly awful Mrs Browns Boys is weird.

Indeed. Was a good, if sometimes uneven programme-certainly not close to a classic sitcom, or as good as its contemporary sketch shows like the Fast Show. But compared to Mrs Brown's boys it is a work of genius.

Ain't been near the mumbles in months, I have seen him there though.

Thanks for the heads up, dont think I'll be watching. On a similar note, one channel is re running Benny Hill, not aged well to be fair.....the programme not Hill

All old school stuff, depends on your age I suppose.

Satellite City I enjoyed. Nothing since has matched that unles you count the antics in the Senedd

As did I. Even if slightly surreal. ‘they boil heads down in Cardiff’

 

[Skippyjack]

I kind of like it, it's pure crap, but it's good.. I prefer it to Alan Partridge who everyone raves about, Steve Coogan is a c*nt
