Has anyone been watching Bellamy's People?

[Fourth Feline]

watched it and chuckled in a few places I 'spose  :roll:

let's hope a new series of the thick of it or hignfy isn't far off!

If it were not for the 'fall' of actor Chris Langham,  I would loved to have seen much more of Paul Whitehouse ( and his multiple personality disorder )  in the Psychotherapist sitcom " Help" .

Incidentally, any other fans of last year's " Psychoville" ?

I didn't really find Psychoville all that great really; it would have been better in my mind if they'd have gone for a more subtle approach rather than the cheesy, over the top performances that were in there.
Also I can't abide by any programme that has Dawn French attempting a west-country accent because, frankly, she may as well be replaced by Dick Van Dyke for how authentic it is.

Putting to one side his failings, Chris Langham was/is an incredible talent who I really miss.

The Thick of It is a work of genius.

Armando Iannucci or Chris Morris have in my opinion been behind most of the greatest comedy of the last 20 years.

I can't wait to see his film "Four Lions" - sort of a Jihadi Dads Army...

Yes ; I would have removed Dawn French ( from anything ).  I think it was more an association with / affection for -  the characters of 'Mr. Jelly' , 'David'  and 'Lomax'  that held it for me . Gloriously well intentioned, gloriously inept.

I heartily agree, and wish the BBC would have kept him on . It also seems somewhat hypocritical , considering that at least some of his critics are probably on Hamstead Heath - pursuing 'Private interests'.  He needed Pete Townsend's Lawyer ...

I really enjoyed Psychoville! Should've been twice as many episodes, though!
