Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle - BBC2 10pm from 16th March

[marty21]

I thought he was talking about 'the now show'

Enjoyed most of it but he did stretch some of the jokes too far.

sounded like it, and i quite like the now show

Like rollinder I was in hysterics at the 'rap singers, you've seen them' bit.
Not even sure why that was funny.

Yep... loved that bit.

Makes me realise I really haven't seen enough of him. Looks like I have a new weekly must-see thing.

 

[8den]

Absolutely brilliant.

 

[Paul Russell]

I thought that was pretty good, and I usually dislike most things on TV that are meant to be funny.

 

[DotCommunist]

Stuart Lee has still got it

 

[marty21]

i do like his delivery, he looked like he wanted to stand on the stage, smoking a cigarette as he delivered

The tyndale sketch was genius. I've been a fan of kevin eldon since the simon quinlag days.

 

[Melinda]

I like it too. Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis are slightly odd targets for rebuke though, considering they all worked together so extensively back in the day.

Loved the Moyles baiting Be interesting to how Moyles responds; can he sustain an feud that isnt based on him calling girls fat or ugly.

 

[Roxy641]

Frell! I missed the show (and even forgot to set it up, even though
I knew about it about a week in advance).

Guess it is the BBC i-player for me then.

I just watched it on iplayer because I was watching that thing on wabi sabi on BBC4 last night.

THE ACTOR Kevin Eldon

 

[goldenecitrone]

Very good. Toilet books indeed.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Damn, missed it because I have gotten into the habit of not watching TV.

i player for lunch.

 

[g force]

All good apart from the Harry Potter bit...way too obvious and now what I expected from someone of Lee's calibre. Dan Brown however is fair game

All good apart from the Harry Potter bit...way too obvious and now what I expected from someone of Lee's calibre.

I laughed at the Potter bit but do wonder how Lee squares his dismissal of JK Rowling's writing for being 'childish' with his own love of Incredible Hulk comics!

THE ACTOR KEVIN ELDON.

Give him his full name

haha. He used to live nearby to me, and a couple of weeks after glastonbury festival his car was parked in the street: it actually had "The actor kevin eldon" on the name bit of the glasto car parking badge.

Well after reading in the paper that this was supposed to be really good, I was hoping to finally watch a comedy programme that wasn't shit.

It was shit.

 

[Dillinger4]

I don't think it was shit.

It was alright, I suppose.

I don't have high expectations of TV. I always expect to be disappointed.

I didn't laugh out loud. Some of it was funny.

 

[marty21]

it felt like he was just having a chat

 

[Dillinger4]

There were a few bits that were relatively brave, in terms of TV.

Like long pauses and rambling stories, IE talking about 'rappers'.

 

[mrsfran]

Running along the bannisters. You've seen them.

 

[DotCommunist]

I've found that with a lot of his standup, it's not lines and gags, more amusing anecdotes. He does have a slightly peculiar sense of timing, but it work.

 

[STFC]

Running along the bannisters. You've seen them.

I came very close to switching off during that 'joke'.

 

[Dillinger4]

I came very close to switching off during that 'joke'.

And this is why it is brave.

I like to see TV take little risks like that.
