| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

Definitely more a 'wry chuckle here and there' rather than a 'laugh out loud' show. Not as funny as the website that inspired it. [Post edited 12 Mar 2021 15:26]

Kind of like Little Britain that works great on the radio, but was terrible on screen. (Yes LB was wildly popular in the first season but largely because a lot of the material was their radio content on screen) |  |

I hated having to sit through it for one hour per week and not having the option of another hundred channels to flick through! Although to be fair, the Brexit stuff will only upset those who feel responsible surely? Anyone who thinks they voted and/or campaigned correctly won't be bothered by that. |  |

If it was funny, they’d have kept it on Brexit is a mess, hopefully we can get back in. Or what would be even funnier, Scotland gets independence then we go back into the EU |  |

What would be funniest of all would be Glassers ending up living in an independent Scotland that's an EU member. |  |

You can say the same about every single comedy series that’s been on since the 1950s. Things come things go. The concept and execution of Brexit has always been a mess. Even the idea of it is a massive joke. |  | |  |

A talented lady, who sadly wasn't in the Austentatious show we saw in Bury in 2019 in the days before The Event. But then the talented Cariad Lloyd was in the show. Ms Parrish is Mrs Marcus Brigstocke. |  |

Thanks to the corruption and incompetence of the SNP, the likelihood of an independent Scotland looks less likely as each day passes. |  |

That and a lacklustre vaccine roll out that has seen 30 something ITFCJoe get vaccinated in Suffolk whilst an old codger like me is still waiting, a higher care home death rate than England, a seven day rolling average seeing infection rates and deaths rising despite being in lockdown longer than England, a crumbling education system and the highest rate of deaths from drugs doesn't seem to be doing the Scottish government's credibility any good. |  |

This is pretty much spot on. "It was the epitome of ‘clapter’ comedy, sparking amused applause rather than gut laughter. It was comedy that only works if you agree with the sentiment being expressed, and even then isn’t actually funny". https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/no-nish-kumar-s-mash-report-hasn-t-been-canc |  |

Which stats are these on 7 day rolling averages increasing? I've only looked at deaths but as of yesterday they were the lowest they'd been since October and have been on a continuous downward trend. |  |
