The appalling column he writes weekly for the Guardian certainly hasn't helped my opinion of him. Especially with the fawning posts in the comments that follow.


Anyway, back to the more positive 'love' part of this thread. As someone posted a clip of him in the Pope thread... Tim Minchin. Brilliant.

I don't loathe Stewart Lee, I think he is almost great at what he does. He has the audience eating out the palm of his hand. His delivery is spot-on, as is his timing, and he has an original stage presence. He is clever and intersting too, but I don't find him that funny. Doesn't mean I hate him.

I hate Stuart Lee


Yeah, really I do, but not for the right reasons.


My mate works in TV, oh yeah, he's a large-ish cheese. So he got us free tickets to one of Lee's shows, nice I thought!


Only when we got to Islington or wherever & got to the door early, like 45 mins early, we were turned away. "Sorry, full up!"


"But we've got tickets" we protested, though as the guy on the door explained so had all the others in there. Seems they give out way too many freebies, so the show fills up.


Boy was I cheesed off with the large-ish cheese guy, all I could think of was "EXTERMINATE" i'll give you fekkin EXTERMINATE.


Next time i'm going dressed as an 8ft Edam that can time travel.


Woooo ooo oo -dan da ga dang....wooo oooo

"Mitchell and Webb" like all sketch shows, even the best of them, often involves sifting through the dross.

There is a high 'moments of genius' count in that show though.


As performers I guess they're probably quite marmite, but I think they're superb.

I don't think you can accuse Pegg of selling out - he was always pretty geeky, so stuff like Star Trek and Paul seem like a natural fit. You can accuse him of making a couple of really really bad films though - he's lucky Run Fatboy Run didn't finish him.

i've been lazy and not read the whole thread; but i'd like to recommend Daniel Kitson (although i'm sure most know him already, Brendon Burns, Doug Stanhope & Louis CK.


Ricky Gervais should always be mentioned in passing for the Office, but nothing else he's done has come close. I think the xfm podcasts are overrated, extras was boring, his stand up is awful, an idiot abroad was TERRIBLE, and i've not seen Derek and don't want to.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
