Forrest Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I knew he'd done it aeons ago and revised it for a DVD release this year, but I'd assumed there was a load of changes in between, but if it's the same show for the majority of it then I probably won't bother. Â Also, look what I found on iPlayer when looking about: Â http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b007q...ies_1_Monsters/ Â Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World! One of Lee and Herring's early shows, starting with Series 1, Episode 1 right there! I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes certainly. I particularly enjoyed Iannucci in it.

Loki Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 It's good, but a lot of the material is very familiar if you've seen Fist Of Fun Series One - they basically re-used a lot of material from this radio series for their tv debut. Â It's being broadcast on 4Xtra on a Tues evening or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Shit TMWRNJ news today. Â Â Fist of Fun Series 2 has apparently been carved up at the insistence of the BBC too, which is bollocks. But it is available to buy now, which is quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DCW Posted December 2, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted December 2, 2012 Wonder if theres any chance of TMWRNJ getting a DVD release?would be nice to have a good quality version instead of the out of sync rips that are on youtube.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 22, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 22, 2013 I don't know who most of those people are, but I'm excited nonetheless. Â And thankfully Paul Foot is only in one episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 22, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Thank god there is not much Paul Foot. Went to see him just before Christmas. Not funny in the slightest and I left after 15 minutes. Edited January 22, 2013 by Lion_of_the_Midlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 22, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) I dunno man. Â I don't like Paul Foot, but I'm glad that there's a platform for different stuff. I'm definitely looking forward to watching the show, but with the expectation that I will almost certainly not like some of the comedians. Â Walking out after 15min seems a little harsh though.

Paid Members gmoney Posted January 22, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2013 I can vouch for Simon Munnery, Andy Zaltzman and Boothby Graffoe being funny. In fact I'd go as far as saying Simon Munnery is fantastic. Alun Cochrane is decent as a sidekick on Frank Skinner's radio show, but I've never seen him do stand up. Robin Ince is one of the bigger names there, and also the very definition of mediocre. Henning Wehn's alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Henning Wehn is superb. Has anyone criticised him for having his wife on the show yet? Also, poor Butch. He thought he'd seen the last of Dobby. I think her stand up is shit, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted January 22, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted January 22, 2013 I've never seen Izy Suttie live but heard very mixed reports. I did see Henning Wehn absolutely die on his arse in Edinburgh last year though (I still rate him, just not his night). My main concern is that IMO, niche comedy like this is best enjoyed in small rooms with a likeminded audience. This could end up like a hardcore punk band, widely regarded as having electric live shows being seen as underwhelming when they play on 'Later With Jools Holland'. It's all about the atmos innit.
