Anyone else find this a lovely lively programme?

And bagsie after you with Lee - provided he's not worn out.

NfkDumpling Sun 23-Jun-13 17:45:57

Oh goodie, it brightened the dark evenings. I'd love to go there one day, but fear the reality may not be as good.

I think so Nfk - I heard Ben Miller talking about a new series. smile

NfkDumpling Sun 23-Jun-13 17:31:58

Is Murder in Paradise coming back?

LOVE 'Would I lie to You' and everyone in it.... I can watch Rob Brydon in absolutely anything. Like Lee Mack, but all you above can have him...
not my type. Prefer David Mitchell...

Aka they do look alike, don't they? I've forgotten his name but he was really good when he was in partnership with the gorgeous Alexander Armstrong - maybe his name is Ben Miller? He was in a comedy series with Sarah Alexander(?), which also included Alison Steadman, where he played a hapless groom to be.

Bet I've confused everyone now! That's just so you forget that Lee Mack is mine! grin

Thanks Kitty I'm pretty useless on names even on a good day. Not too hot on faces either. I actually thought that Rob Brydon was that detective chappy on 'Murder in Paradise' confused for ages.

kitty My dad's BIGGER than your dad!! grin

Ana Sun 23-Jun-13 10:46:59

All's fair...etc., kitty! wink

Rob Brydon is the 'fellow in the middle' AKA and David Mitchell and Lee Mack are the captains.

I love the programme and think Rob Brydon is really funny. We saw him at the Edinburgh Fringe one year with Dh's brother and his wife who's relationship wasn't going too well. It was during his 'Taxi Driver' period and the whole sketch was about marriage breakdowns, which Bil and Sil didn't enjoy and we daren't. Bil and Sil recently celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary so it turned out ok despite Rob Brydon.

And, just to be clear, I saw Lee Mack first!!

PS Agree with you Ella. I'm not a great Amanda Hart fan but she brought something special to 'Not Going Out' which is missing since she left.

Aka Sun 23-Jun-13 09:37:49

Yes, love the repartee between the two 'captains' and the fellow in the middle! Having a bad brain day, what's their names?

Ella46 Sun 23-Jun-13 08:48:46

'Not Going Out' has lost a certain silliness since Miranda Hart and Tim Vine have not appeared in the current series.

PRINTMISS Sun 23-Jun-13 08:08:54

Sorry forgot to say Annsixty Lee Mack is the same Lee Mack who appears in 'Not going out' which I also enjoy but it is a bit silly at times - and again no foul language, always a plus for me.

PRINTMISS Sun 23-Jun-13 08:05:21

I'm with you there Shysal it is good to watch a witty programme without what seems to be the essential 'f' word, it is very clever too. Not sure if it is rehearsed but if it is then it is really clever to appear so spontaneous.

Ella46 Sat 22-Jun-13 22:54:29

I'm saying nothing! #innocentface

Enviousamerican Sat 22-Jun-13 22:07:45

Vive la diff'erence grin

Ana Sat 22-Jun-13 22:04:53

Not sure there's enough of Lee Mack to go round! (No rude suggestions from you, thank you Ella! grin)

Ella46 Sat 22-Jun-13 21:33:58

Well, it wouldn't do if we all liked the same type, there wouldn't be enough to go around! grin

NfkDumpling Sat 22-Jun-13 20:56:13

Yes Envious Lee Mack. I can't understand it either, but he has a certain something...... !

annsixty Sat 22-Jun-13 20:39:14

Can't always remember names but is he the man writing and starring in Not going Out? If so I must watch.

Enviousamerican Sat 22-Jun-13 20:36:36

Ella46,Ana,merlotgran,Lee Mack? You must see something I don't.confused

Ella46 Sat 22-Jun-13 20:15:12

He's mine first! grin

shysal Sat 22-Jun-13 18:30:14

I love it, and the fact that it can be hilarious without swearing.

Ana Sat 22-Jun-13 18:29:36

I, too, have a secret crush on Lee Mack blush
At least, it was secret...
