...after one series.

Just as long as Jack Whitehall gets another three or four sitcoms that'll be fine then.

The Beeb never used to be purely about ratings but nodded it's head to diversity / choice occasionally. Not any more I guess.

Boooooo.

That 'Citizen Khan' thing is the biggest pile of shite they have ever produced. Pathetic attempt at being 'culturally diverse'. Still managed to get a THIRD series commissioned in December :FFSPuncheon

Also, Jack Whitehall is a complete twunter****.

I'm a big fan of Vic & Bob, though just couldn't get into this. I won't miss it personally, but hope they come back with something else.

Saw the first episode and thought it was ok. I read that the following episode was much better, but to be honest it was all a little bit unoriginal for Vic and Bob. Not sure a sitcom was the right vehicle for them right now. For two guys who were once so anarchic, a sitcom seems a bit safe.

Yep. Never got into it.

They are funny when they are bonkers surrounded by normality (ie, guests on Shooting Stars). Bonkers surrounded with other Bonkers doesn't make them look so....well....boinkers.

House of Fools can't have cost much to produce, and was amusing at times. Especially annoying when you consider some of the sh*t that gets recomissioned.

Yep. I've seen about 2 or 3 minutes of it on several occasions, and try as I might, I cannot watch any more. It's embarrassingly bad.

Well I thought it was funny and loved the supporting cast, there plenty of shows on that are complete rubbish and get other series, My Family for instance, how many series did that get upto.
