I find the parody of bad Brit-coms "When The Whistle Blows" hilarious. Rickey and Steve were spot- on.

I found it funnier that a lot of so-called 'comedy sitcoms' of today.

i was trying to think what it was most like... Two point Four Children is the one that most springs to mind, Mrs Brown's boys maybe.

It was a parody but done rather well.

It was no way poking fun at Two point Four children which was rather different and slightly offbeat, ie it had better writing and Mrs Brown Boys is post Extras and is 'post modern vintage!'

Its that man again!!

The adolescent fascination with and tittering about sex (all the double entendres) made me think of Are You Being Served? and Open All Night, both of which I find ghastly and unfunny. Very lowest-common-denominator.

I loved Extras but always felt the WTWB segments to be overlong.. OK we get the message, it's crap.
