CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I welcome this news. He's hardly on telly that often - Screen/Newswipe isn't happening any more, his "quiz" hasn't been on for a few months now, and Dead Set was more than a year ago. I can't actually think of the last time I saw him on TV apart from 2010Wipe over Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BionicRedneck Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 10 O'Clock Live is fucking awful. Â It makes me sad that Brooker is involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 He wasn't in it though, was he? Â I'm sure he was in it as an uncredited blink and you miss it cameo playing a Zombie but I would hardly class that as being "in it" in the proper sence.

The Maestro Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 The only decent thing about this 10 O'Clock live was Brooker's segment about Tunisia and Middle East. Fuck this. X-Men's just started on Disney XD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted January 20, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'm enjoying it, it's a little rough round the edges but for the first of a live series that'll get smoothed out. It's nice to see an actual satirical comedy on TV given that 'Mock The Week' isn't really about the news any more & 'Have I Got News For You' got stale years ago.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted January 20, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted January 20, 2011 I think it's pretty good. Of course, I'd rather it didn't have Jimmy Carr in it, but that goes for anything that Jimmy Carr has ever appeared in and indeed will ever appear in. He's fucking shit. Â Mitchell and Brooker were just about as ace as they usually are. Having said that, although I like Lauren Laverne in general I'm not sure why she's on this, it's not really her thing at all. But she wasn't too bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she is a pretty intellectual pair of tits in comparison to others, so doesn't seem that out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steveo2007 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 10 O'clock Live was a bit "meh" in places, but luckily, these weren't the bits which involved Mitchell or Brooker. As brilliant as I'd expected them to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
textonly Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Apart from the sketches, I enjoyed it. And I imagine that's what I'll be saying about 'How TV Ruined Your Life' too. Â In summary: 90% of sketch comedy is unbearably awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
