Johnny Vegas must surely get a mention? He's just an embarrassment.

Can't agree with Andy Parsons. I've seen hundreds of comedians at the Stand in Edinburgh. Andy Parsons was the funniest act I ever saw there. Although I admit he doesn't come across so well on TV.

Can't believe I'm seeing someone knocking Armstrong and Miller, I thought they were great and wish they did more shows.

There doesn't seem to be any shows like that on at all now? :( Like Mitchell and Webb, Fast Show, i.e. proper sketch shows?

Can't think of any for years.

Just comedy panel shows now? Which are all of course now "gender balanced", so Katherine Ryan is on everything as she is a genuinely funny quick talented woman, but then you have people on making up the numbers like the Irish woman on 8 out of 10 cats. Who ... isn't.

Not a fan of Boyle these days as he's gone right up his own arras and has become a very smug very predtictable leftie (which is why Pascoe is his female "gender balanced" sidekick), but at least he made me laugh years ago. oooh I don't like Trump Brexit and May, how ground breaking.

More contentiously - and just to confirm those who may have binned them already,French and Saunders.
Ab Fab was only funny if you could pretend that Jennifer Saunders was twenty years younger than Jennifer Saunders. And I have always struggled with the concept of The Vicar Of Dibley, since Dawn French never convinced anyone that she believes in God.

Michael McIntyre, Miranda, Sarah Millican and Russell Howard. Nearly all comediennes are terrible, the exception is Amy Schumer. Howard's schtick seems to be targeted at subintelligent 20-somethings. McIntyre is just an awful, middle class windbag. How Miranda received accolades for her sit-com is beyond me. Some of the most cliched, tired visual gags imaginable. I'd throw in 'Mrs Brown' too - saying 'feck' is not comedy as isn't all your p*ss poor scripts.

Regarding Victoria Wood, the one thing that she DID do that was really outstanding was when she did 'An Audience With' about 25 years ago now. I thought that was first class, but some of the TV work that she was involved with after that was fairly poor in my view. Programmes such as 'Dinner Ladies'. I don't think I laughed once throughout that programme.
