In the third of my blogs looking back to 2007, the last of my television picks is the BBC’s near the knuckle satirical quiz show…
Mock The Week could have made it into my list last year. Thankfuly it didn’t because this year it has been funnier, and nearer the bone, that last years episodes ever were. There are 3 reasons why it is so funny…
1) It’s combines the best attributes of the panel show, spontaneity, quick wittedness, and an environment which breeds humour. The format itself is not entirely unlike “Who’s Line Is It Anyway?” , not suprising as the same team who brought it to Channel 4 are behind Mock The Week.
2) It has overtaken “Have I Got News For You” as the funniest satirical show on television. There is a certain chemistry between the 5 regulars (the host Dara O’Briain included). NB to the producers of Have I Got News For You: You lost it when you bagged Deayton.
3) Frankie Boyle
Kinda sums it up really…
