I can honestly say that this is the worst excuse for comedy
I have seen on the BBC - and believe me they pump out some
sh*t.

Ben Elton - hang your head in shame.

I've no idea why he bothers anymore - he must have piles of cash lying around from 'We Will Rock You'. It must be some kind of bet with ITV to prove you can do something as unfunny as 'Vicious'. Or 'The Thin Blue Line'. Can't be too long before a peerage beckons for him, I reckon.

The trailer alone makes me want to drink my own bodyweight in bleach.
 


I caught around 3' last week on my "just before I go to bed" channel hop. That's 3' of my life that I will never get back, it made "Mrs Brown's Boys" look like a classic "Father Ted" episode.

When you add this to the dross that the BBC put out this week as "new comedy"; The Job Lot, and Vicious - they should give us all the license money back.

Pure unimaginative dross, both programmes.

The trailer looked excruciatingly awful so I gave it a wide berth. I agree about 'The Royal Bodyguard' but I did hear an interview with the writers who said that they'd written it for a younger audience and were surprised it was aired at a prime time slot. I saw that programme with Ann Widdecombe about comedy and religion, at one point you see her watching 'The Life of Brian' and frowning disdainfully. She said it was childish and unfunny, the next moment you see her watching 'Citizen Khan' and chuckling away. Obviously there are a lot of Ann Widdecombe's out there in TV land!

I will avoid this when it appears over here then

No no. Watch it, wallow happily in its awfulness and make it very clear that you are watching it ironically and knowingly. Then when it is revealed as a spoof/satire whatever you can smugly point out that you were in on the joke from the start...

Although I suspect it may not last long enough to make it to your part of the world.

Aren't they both ITV? Agree they are dross.
