Got the first series DVD, got the Comic relief special DVD and will get the second series DVD...but thats where it should now stop because eventually it'll all go wrong. Catchphrase comedy doesn't have a very long shelf life at all.
I agree that it shouldn't really be praised as groundbreaking or one of the best Brit comedy shows. People from outside Britain will begin to think that we've lost our famous comedy touch or that this is ALL we can do (which of course isn't true), but it does still deserve some credit for what it does. Glad to see Andy and Lou won the top 50 sketches program this year but maybe its only due to hype that it did, the parrot sketch will and should be back at the top by next year as that truly is a classic.
Overall. I do like the show and often finding myself quoting it, but even I know as an admirer that it should finish here.
