Finally from the BBC...
I don't know how many of you have BBC3 or even how many of you actually watch it? Why do I ask, well it's because over the last few months it has been gradually uncovering many little gems of comedy.
Nighty Night, Monkey Dust and 15 Storeys High... are but a few. Nighty Night is just so twisted and sick. The "hero" Jill [played by Julia Davies] is such a horrific creation. There are elements of Alan Partridge [the way she interacts with disabled people for starters]. Difficult to watch at times - especially the dog poo scene - but that's the legacy of modern comedy: how far can they push the line? Plenty of laugh-out-loud moments if you're not easily offended though, especially the way in which Jill reacts to the news that her husband Don isn't going to die of cancer after all: 'I won't have you messing me around like this!'?... but she's already deceided he's dead so tells everyone he is arranges his funeral and starts a new life, even his recovery doesn't stop her! Monkey dust is a collection on british animation, dark twisted and damn right funny, definately not on for the easily offended. Oh I could go on for hours but like people always say it's better than I make it sound. So plug in that freeview and get watching!
Nighty Night - A Baby Cow production
Monkey Dust - BBC Sun & Mon 11.30pm
