There are times when I was amazed by how they got away with it... the evangelist convention for example and the poo scene at the dinner party.

But several ideas (The Running Of The Jew) were brilliant but the execution went nowhere.

It breaks new ground - rather like the second series of Extras - but is not that funny - again, like Extras.

And it did make this creator of Entertainment USA wince every now and again. Been there. Seen that.

And commented in my own way 20 years ago. Possibly to greater effect?
