Given the prog last night the anwer would seem to be "yes" as long as Milton Jones appears on it...
still laughing over his joke about the field of carrots..and about covering his late grandfather with lard, "he went downhill quickly after that"..
I believe he will appear on it a few times throughout the series
the guests next week are Sarah Millican, John Bishop and Chris Addison (of the thick of it!).

Milton Jones was the warm up comedian for the previous series of Mock the Week.Last series he stepped in at last minute to replace Frankie Boyle when he was taken ill on day of show. He's good at oneliners like Tim Vine, but my only complaint is that I am just reacting to his first joke when he's on his third! Well thought out oneliners-loved the hay fever/diabetes joke-very droll.

His best one has to be the rice one. "I got a single grain of rice for christmas....... Thanks Uncle Ben!"

I can't be bothered with Mock The Week anymore, it's just far too obvious and furmulaic.
It used to serve as a vehicle for Frankie Boyle and co. to showcase their material but they may as well just have a stand up show on. The premise of it being a quiz show is essentially pointless

Boyle pretty much took over the show anyway so without him at least the others will get a chance to speak.

Frankie Boyle was boorish, arrogant and selfish.
He will be no loss to the program whatsoever.

Should be ok as long as dickhead McIntyre is on it.

Judging by the responses on here I would say that people don't think so.
Personally I liked it with Boyle, and I liked it last night. I never saw it as the Frankie Boyle show anyway.
Oh, and the one about spreading lard on his Grandads back, LOL

I think Hugh Dennis is well worth the money too.
As far as Patrick Kielty is concerned, you have to remember he's been "mainstream", a bit like a younger version of Val Doonican rather than Dave Allen, so would be struggling to appear "anti-establishment". Nice joke about his neighbours in Chelsea, but judging by the poor audience reaction, that's where they live....

Milton Jones was great at the Brighton Comedy Festival last year. On in the Pavilion Theatre! If he does well on Mock The Week he might get upgraded to the Corn Exchange or even The Dome this year.
