Mock The Week - Series 9, BBC2 Thursdays 10pm (Merged)

There's not a single part of that post that's correct.

The clip cuts short what he's saying, so it's not a blooper, and I'm getting plenty of hits from non-haters like yourself so I'm clearly doing something right

 

[The Nobodies]

Funnily enough I caught her on HIGNFY last night doing the same joke

 

[Nate]

It's true. The classic fall back is the Daily Mail joke - funny at first but now too predictable.

I'm not saying they should invite Nick Griffin on, but they need a bit of variety, because the show is dying on its arse.

Andi Osho's first 2 worRAB in the stand up round: being nigerian. RAB is that all she ever talks about?

 

[Miss Sarcasm]

16 September 2010 Micky Flanagan and Stewart Francis Ed Byrne and Miles Jupp

First of the new era without Russell tonight Ok, so it's only for 4 or 5 shows.
Hope that Flannagan and Francis contribute to the show and not just rely on the standup round.

Also a new face with Miles Jupp. I've seen him a few times on the Comedy Store and he's been on The News Quiz. I wonder how much in character (posh snob) he'll be on MtW.

Thought it was a good episode, Milton Jones was on top form.

They don't have to ad-lib on these shows. Why do you think they have so many scriptwriters?

 

[imported_mommy_of_2]

Between the lines was new. Plain to see why it wasn't included.

Also pretty much all of the outtakes were new. Russell Howard talking about Mongrels was quite funny.

 

[Bethany =)]

I may be on my own here but I don't find Milton Jones remotely funny. Every time he's on I really try, in case I am missing something but nope, just don't.

 

[NoNameArtist]

I thought he sounded either drunk or not quite with it! I commented on it to my OH

 

[alexandrite22]

The three regulars, Hugh Dennis, Andy Parsons and Russell Howard from the past few series are back (Frankie Boyle left at the end of series 7).

 

[Apollyon]

I'm disgusted - I love the show and was really looking forward to tonight's show. Big disappointment that they are showing a repeat of a recent episode.

 

[Looking forward]

You are thinking of Adam Hills.

Stewart Francis is the Canadian one-liner. Similar to Milton Jones in that she just shoehorns in jokes where appilcable but doesn't really interact with the rest of the panelists/show.

 

[RobiCZ]

Really? I thought the Commonwealth Games bit dragged on and wasn't particuarly funny after a while.

 

[fireflyfan_2008]

I liked it. It did seem that he purposely adapted it and was good to remember that he'd used the other joke in the past. It would have been pretty bad if he repeated the old joke.

 

[mkpcpride]

Hugh Dennis's Siamese twins joke was pretty funny, I thought.

Here is a good article about the show and panel shows in general
http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2010/jun/16/mock-the-week-ninth-series

I think the author makes pretty much the same points that have been made throughout this thread and other MtW and HIGNFY threaRAB. It's just he has a national newspaper to distribute it for him

 

[Salamander Way]

A bit tame. Some have thought of a little topical material but they've forgotten this particular show is called "MOCK the week". I don't care to watch a comedian tell me anyone who isn't politically correct is a "cock". How very daring of you.

 

[Mr.Knowledge]

Here is the listing for Episode 2



Also of note: There will be a 6 week break after Episode 5 due to the Edinborough Comedy festival.

 

[Booboo the original!]

Might you be referring to the fact that to him, anyone who doesn't hold his opinions is, I quote, a "nob".

Maybe someone at the BBC has read this thread and realised the bleedin' obvious about him not being a topical comedian.
