Bloody ace. I just ordered the box set, and found the first episode (and 2nd, but can't be arsed linking that) on Youtube.

The scary thing is that one of the characters reminds me of me. Can you guess which one? (note; I don't have a beard, or breasts. That should narrow it down)

Heheh cheers for that. I'm a big fan of Spaced and the immortal Father Ted so this is right up my alley.

Wait, you're not saying you've not seen this before, surely?

(NB: it occurs to me that a beard and breasts actually covers Bill Bailey on his own)

I always missed it on the hypnobox. Seen some big train, bits are a bit confusing, some is very funny.
Brass eye still rates as one of my favourites.

Brass Eye was absolute genius. I'll never forgive the humourless bastards who attacked the very last one, singlehandedly proving its point.

Brass Eye was sheer absolute brilliance. If you liked it check out The Day Today which is sort of Brass Eye Lite
The pedophiles episode was what got them into trouble but what the idiots who complained about it failed to realise was that it was nothing to do with pedophiles and everything to do with the media's reaction to them.

"This man is a paedophile disguised as...a school!"
Genius.

We must catch that man. He really is a s###!
I'm going to have to buy the DVD at some point.

It's on DVD? s###! I must expand my (rather pathetic) collection of comedy and stuff ASAP!
EDIT; ooh, Region 0 dvd on play for £15. Think I'll add it to the chrissy list

Try googling for the word 'nonce' then think of it in terms of being aware of nonces.
It's slang.

I know it's slang. I'm pissing myself at the fact that they didn't realise they were subtly being taken the piss out of.
It's like with the whole "Cake is a made up drug" thing.

God I love black books. We watched the lot in one sitting iirc. Laughed my ass off.
