Gershwin Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Trying just a little bit too hard now....shame. Are you judging it on the trailer, or have you seen it? I doubt it will be as good as 'I'm AP' but I suspect it'll be better than all the other tosh that's on at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the trailer...and you're right, it will still be better than everything else. I just hate it when something so good loses what it had...and the script becomes predictable and transparent. Ends up just becoming a parody of itself, and rather than dying an honourable death when it should, it gets flogged and squeezed for the dregs it might have left. Id hate for this to sully the previous series' genius by association. If the clip is anything to go by, it has lost its natural edge and is now uncomfortably obvious and forced. Im sure it will have moments of brilliance though....its just a shame all the previous series were brilliant from start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they need a decent vehicle for the online series - for instance, 'has-been talk show host trys to get back on TV' was much funnier than 'cringe-worthy talk show host presents his show'. I guess we'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershwin Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Also, does anyone know if Ianucci is involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll see! True, its not clear from the trailer what the vehicle is. The previous series had clear delineations between them, its not clear where this is going. Still, I worry that its gonna just be a re-hash of the same techniques and jokes and not something that excels on its own. from this it suggests its simply based in the radio studio... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UmYOmTG3B0 Iannucci co-wrote with Coogan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the budget stretched to paying Coogan/Iannucci and one location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
