Your Sides Will Hurt Watching This ...., 13 November 2003
Author: Theo Robertson from Isle Of Bute, Scotland

.... But only if someone is kicking you in the ribs very very hard.

Yes you can guess this is going to get a poor review from me . I had the fortune of not seeing the first series and if it was ten times better than the second series it still wouldn`t have deserved a second series . This is awful with punchlines you can see coming a mile a way . I`ll give you an example . Young daughter dressed up in bandages says to her father at Halloween : " Would you like to become a mummy ? " and her father replies * Answer at the bottom of the review .

But it`s not only the flat jokes that caused me to hate this - It`s the flat jokes combined with a politically correct agenda . The plot revolves around a mixed race step family and one of the children suffers from cerebral palsy. If this was a politically incorrect show it might possibly be sick but it might also possibly be funny in a sick way , but being PC there`s no chance of offence and no chance of a smile either as most of the running time seems to be taken up with issues like handicapped relationships and Hindu festivals , and the cynic in me believes that the BBC will counter-act anyone criticising this flop comedy with cries of " racist " or worse . I`m not racist but I do have a sense of humour ( You need one if you`re a working class Scot called Theodore ) and this sentenious garbage is just not funny

Jasper Carrott is a comedian I can take or leave but like any other comedian he`s at his best when he`s at his most politically incorrect . He had me in stiches with a sketch spoofing CORONATION STREET from 20 years ago :

" Oh we`ve just received a wedding card "

" What`s it say ? "

" All the best and thumbs up "

" That`s nice . Who sent it ? "

" The Faircloughs "

You`ll get the joke if you can remember a certain court case from 20 years back .

* And the punch line is " No thank you it`s bad enough being a daddy " . Bet you didn`t see that coming
