That Puppet Game Show

[Annette Curtain]

Somebody lend me a nail gun please, so I can staple my eyelids closed for the next 8 weeks.

If you haven't had the misfortune to see That Puppet Game Show 'show' then count yourself lucky. Take my advice; you'd be less traumatised by watching Blankety Blank on an eternal loop whilst ripped to the tits on crystal meth, locked in a Travel Lodge single room with the aircon off & strapped to a chair with cling-wrap, eyes forced open with cocktail sticks.

Jim Henson must be turning in his grave.

The Puppet Game Show has to be the most irritating program ever.

I saw the Trailer for the show and had already made up my mind.

Utter Tripe...

This is what the BBC is spending your Licence Fee on.

Of course this is just Foxy being Negative.. expect a deluge of support for the show.

If it's the Les Dawson years then count me in and have the 'lab' deliver me a week's worth for this weekend.

You might want to follow Jamie Omerod the series producer on Twitter (he's HILARIOUS)

Or you could sign up as a volunteer to be Tasered by the Met

As yet i'm in favour of the later

Tellingly Danny Baker got out early..

>Although Danny Baker was involved in writing the pilot, he is not one of the writers on the eight-part series<

sadly HB it is the unscreened Charlie Williams tryout season with Duncan Norville.

I did catch some of this late the other night with a desperately gurning J Ross and Katherine thingy - I.., it was... no. No words really do fail me.

I haven't seen the show nette but your reviews are priceless. you should have a TV column, you're waaay better than those that get paid for it.

Ok

For a balanced view I decided to give this CRAZEEE show another look in

Tho that took some doing, as the BBC had hidden it at the arse end of viewing schedule broom cupboard. Yep, seems that Sunday nite at 11:30 pm when most sane or sober people are in bed, ready for the onslaught of the working week, is when the BBC are confident that NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND is going to see the car-crash-shite-a-thon, and therefore not make any further nasty comments or critical reviews.

As it happens, i'd just returned from Jamie's & Alex's 'Feastival' in the Cotswolds (more of that later), so I was up and totally sober to watch That Puppet Game Show

Much like the Royal cousins left locked up & hidden away to die in the aptly named 'Royal Earlswood Hospital' this show is now as far away as the BBC can get it before A.Pushing under a fast moving train or B. Suffocating it, by annexing it out in the nether reaches of TV land, which they've rightly done. Bravo, but I still want a refund on my licence fee please.

It's thankfully contained to 8 episodes & we are now at episode 4. It's still shite but we're nearer the end than the beginning, so it's improving, in that it's nearer to ending. Tho for Jamie Omerod the series producer, that can't come soon enough I imagine

Of the mind numbing 'games' I'd consider guzzling Largactil in preference to "Nosey neighbour" or "Punch your lights out"

where contestants (in idiocy) wear a suit with illuminated torches on, and you guessed it! they punch them until they go out, at which point a sausage with an Irish accent gives the score. Hilarious really/honest , tho i've come up with another version called "Punch their teeth out" in which for a week after the show, we the public get to punch the wankers on the previous show's teeth out, as they shop in Westfield or Aldi.

The whole premise is tempered by the ?10,000 donated to a charity. Surely someone could pay the remaining ?40K off and put us all out our misery. (Well those who watched/endured it anyway)

Next week i'll be slaughtered and falling asleep on a half eaten kebab, not my first choice for Sunday night. But way preferable to this load of cark.

Lastly, the above mentioned Royal hospital was previously called "The Asylum for Idiots". How very apt, maybe those responsible at the BBC could rename their commissioning department.
