MOCK THE WEEK 8.3 [Open Thread]
Is there still an appetite for open threads about Mock The Week, or have we exhausted discussion? The guests this week were Stewart Francis (who clearly knows his brand of one-liner comedy isn't suited to panel shows, so spent most of the episode poking fun at his own incongruous presence), Andrew Maxwell (who was pretty decent, all said) and Andi Osho (who's funny, but didn't get a chance to shine to any great extent.) As an aside, this was the first episode of the series where Russell Howard's squinty grinning irritated me again, while Andy Parsons and Hugh Dennis have just become background noise now.
