I'm with you Steveo, I cant pinpoint why I find her objectionable but I do. It cant be that faint air of smugness because thats de rigeur for any ubiquitous panel show botherer. Although Perkins' ability pales when compared to her erstwhile stage partner Mel Grrfnaarfal(its Welsh and yes that is how you spell it). She has her very own 'entertainment' show on radio 4 extra at 4pm daily and as soon as her clucky, patronising tones start wafting out of the DAB like a stale turd its dial is kicked clean off in an act of extreme prejudice.
I also like Sue Perkins but did not enjoy the new comedy last night. It just wasn't funny. Although the vet character is clearly meant to be uncomfortable in her own skin, it felt like Sue Perkins was uncomfortable full stop and I found much of it a bit cringeworthy.

Surely ALL sitcoms are. For every phenomenally successful Friends import, we have to tolerate all piles of shit with characters called Raymond and their big-haired wives. (and when I say tolerate, I mean be too sick to lift the remote control).


Grandma's House was brilliant. Green Wing, Black Books ditto. They're few and far between, but then so was Friends.

Perkins much better now, ESP since geeky, shite student humour days, though let down by over produced, too clean and comfortable latest series.

Grandma's House, one trick pony, awful lead actor (worst since Baddeil tried to be Seinfeld) whose only gag was to look incredulous as stereotypes were played out around him.

Green Wing, excellent.

No dilemma with Perkins. Seriously unfunny. Weapons grade, actually. Still not as bad as "Miranda" - who has developed a form of anti-humour. She will suck the funny out of any situation. Both of them seem to consider themselves "the smartest gals in the room" yet their mateial is clod hoppingly flat footed. Our own Annette C is much funnier. Check out the recent skit featuring a fantasy flame-thrower attack on Sly and Reggie. It's on the recent Tool thread.

For filthy, clever, character based , super-un PC semi ad libbed sit com laughs try It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia or The League. Both American and with much to teach our dim contemporary domestic fare.


Yes Greeen Wing was brilliant.

    • Thank you both. Inexperience Landlord trying to save  a few pennies - hence no agent involved. The issue is the fact that it is my understanding that without an EPC that is current then they should not have rented the property - far  more to the point and taken rent from me. They commissioned an EPC 4 weeks & I am still waiting for or a copy!!! No gas in property. Well I guess it will be a case of instructing solicitors which I have tried to avoid doing but as they are not responding at all, I have no choice. If I am correct about EPC then it will cost them alot more than refunding me my rent.            
    • Went there a couple of weeks ago and had their set lunch menu - very good value and generous portions. Sea bream was delicious .
    • Some years ago, one of our dogs ate something dropped by rubbish bins outside a local café and haemorrhaged. Rushed to emergency vet in Streatham, who suggested that someone, worried about rats getting into rubbish bins may have put down poison. Our dog died the next day. Consequently, any dog we had afterwards wore a muzzle to stop them picking up food.
    • They have been awful for years. I moved ages ago.
