I tried to watch The Mash Report again last night, but I couldn't stand 10 minutes of it, and possibly not even five.

There is something very creepy about people in their thirties who yearn to be mistaken for teenagers.

Who's that pillock they have on claiming to be Britain's only Tory comedian? The only one on "the circuit", more like. Jim Davidson might not be to your taste or mine but he'd make a memorable addition to this show.
