Mock The Week
I’m only regularly tuning in to one show at the moment:
Mock The Week (BBC 2, 10pm, Tues.)
It’s ceaselessly amusing, and the next episode always seems that little bit funnier. Think Have I Got News For You, but hipper, and ruder. And funnier I suppose.
The five regulars, including irish stand-up comic Dara O’Briain, are wonderful, and not in the slightest bit similar. They’re comfortable with one another having done a few series now, and the chemistry shows; the atmostphere breeds humour. Two guests each week make up the numbers, but don’t simply do that, often being as funny as the regulars themselves.
Check this out if you’ve the opportunity. Some videos here, and here.
