JK2006	Last night's episode was rather good; it may be settling in a bit.

But, this one to one gendre/concept/formula (of two odd blokes talking together, in a rather eccentric way) really started with 'Waiting for Godot' - the famous Samuel Beckett play. Vladimir and Estragon talk endlessly....whilst waiting for Godot.... Both world class Vicious actors have taken the stage roles of V and E - not a coincidence, I feel.

Good comparison - I also thought of the peerless "Frasier", whose writers team motto was "Write it gay, play it straight", something the "Vicious" writer might have bourne in mind... That said, I did laugh out loud a number of times, there's too much talent on screen for it to be a total waste of time, but I can see it getting old very quickly, especially if they only ever stay in the flat...
JK2006	And what a great title THAT was! Far better than Vicious Old Queens (the original title of the Ian/Derek show) which instantly made the concept starkly clear.
