How in the name of all that is holy did this mess make it to the screen? The Lord Of The Rings sketch featured on the ads says it all, a dim witted laborious set up for the punch line ' you cretin' is just sad. Magda in a hard hat isn't comedy gold, it's primary school dress up from a prop box. Holly Austin's creepy insurance sales assistant is funnier than this garbage and that says everything. A sketch about a current news story isn't biting satire just because a smirking reference is made to boat people and pay offs. Maybe it'd do the writers of this tripe some good if they watched some truly funny comedy like That Mitchell and Webb Look. Please, please, bury this rotting corpse as deep as it can go, otherwise it'll stink up our TV's for years to come.
