yeah i always feel a bit uncomfortable/cringey when watching interviews with him...never sure if he's trying to be funny or being a dickhead...still not sure

Yes he did: Rock Profiles, Spaced and even early Little Britains all had good performances by the Walliams.
i saw Matt Lucas doing his Sir Bernard Chumley routine in a pub years ago and it was very funny.
made me chuckle on Reeves & Mortimer as well.
i don't get Walliams either really, although he seems to be trying it as an actor.
Little Britain isn't a patch on the Fast Show.

Damn it - I missed it. Love David Walliams and still find Little Britain hilarious.

Spend time, not money
Just watching it on iPlayer. He is coming across like a bit of a know-all, and I suspect he is getting tired of the format now he's doing the more serious acting stuff...

Aye, the last few bits of the Fast Show were so great because the characters had been fleshed out. Little Britain characters are just ciphers in comparison.

One on one? You're crazy.
mind you, that latest whitehouse/enfield thing is desperately unfunny
I dunno, I quite like the character who has to pretend to be stupid all the time.
Talking about Kasparov...or some shit.
zoooo
zero tolerance for walkers
I don't find their work now to be particularly funny, but I don't see how he was being a prick on Jonathan Ross? He was playing a part, just like Ross was. It was an alright interview.
Verrrry excited there will be an Xmas Shooting Stars though!
Hope they don't give George Dawes a bigger part though, just cos he's famous in his own right now.

Proper break this time
He was alright in the one drama I've seen him in (something on the BBC), and the play he's doing (No Man's Land) is Pinter, so someone must have faith in his abilities. Anyway, theatre is one of those places where being an arrogant tosser is pretty much normal... It's also nice to see Ross being fisted a bit from time to time. LB is just shit though. Fast show realised when things had run their course and did some good stuff towards the end (the Ted and Ralph special episode...
).Ted [cocks shotgun, talks to Clive]: Don't ever walk in these woods alone at night sir...

Nice mental image there.

No! Oh my god, that's fantastic.Or not. It might be shit.
Fuck it, wahey.
I shouldn't think it'll suddenly be shit, I think they often took a big break between series, this has just been a bit longer of a break.

A cheap source of teeth for aquarium gravel
In today's bizarre "celebrity"-obsessed culture, would it not be the perfect time for a Shooting Stars comeback?
Oh god yes
Agree, loved Fast Show which didn't really have a bad sketch in it. Always felt it was prety abstract but then also quite observant. Can't understand the appeal of LB, it's the same joke every week, never changes. You can tell there isn't as much intelligence behind the gags, hence resorting to crude shagging routines (which itself gets v. dull after, oh, about once). It's the sort of thing we used to do in GCSE drama lessons when we ran out of ideas, i.e. you don't need bags of talent to piss about.
Nope. Still waiting

They've all been zany oxbridge stuff or based around one EXTRAORDINARY performer (from oxbridge) since big train.
