Did anyone watch this last night? What did you think?

I thought it was Brilliant. Made me laugh in several places. Good to have it back on the TV.

Brilliant. I * love The Inbetweeners - as recent comedies (which are normally shit) go Gavin and Stacey, IT Crowd and The Inbetweeners have been absolutely cracking.

It seemed a lot more contrived last night to me. In other news the second episode of Him & Her was shite.

I agree, I really want to give 'Him & Her' a go, but I've not been to impressed so far! Inbetweeners on the other hand was good, however, I'll wait to pass full judgement.

I agree with that, except what you said about Gavin and Stacey. It's the most overhyped shit ever, bar of course School of Comedy. I genuinely wonder who was ever stupid enough to commission that heinous travesty of a TV show.

The Inbetweeners is brilliant, it may be utterly vulgar, but there's definitely some intelligent writing.

A lot of people disagreed with you over Gavin and Stacey because it was a hit. Rob Brydon stole every scene in it though and Cordon is a massive irritant.

I never understood the fuss over Gavin and Stacey. Not my cup of tea.

Rob Brydon is good, I used to like James Cordon but he's just grown annoying. As for Matt Horne, there's barely anyone less funny.

Gavin and Stacey is.......was awsome. I think it was cast very well and the jokes (although a lot of them you can see coming) are funny.

I might like it more as me and the Mrs where in a long distance relationship when we got into it and we used to watch it whilst on the phone to each other!

I love the inbetweeners, it really does remind me of my group of mates at 6th form and Mrs Duck says it reminds her of my group of friends at 6th form!

The IT Crowed is brilliant......have you tried switching it off and back on again is great, having worked for BT broadband and Orange, it really is the first question you ask and 9 times out of 10 does normally fix the problem

I really liked Gavin and Stacey, but didn't get into it until the 3rd series.

I can't stand Inbetweeners - think I'm the only person on the planet! I just don't like that sort of humour, much like the American Pie films etc.

I.T. Crowd I think I need to borrow from somewhere and give that a chance.

I'll be honest I've never seen it, I keep meanign to catch it but end up missing it all the time. Started getting into the IT Crowd now that they're repeating them on More 4, I saw an trailer for it a few years back & didn't think it'd be any good.

Then again I though the same of Black Books when I saw the trailer for that and ended up liking it a lot (I would like a fourth series although I think it'd end up spoiling a good thing), same with Spaced as well, although I never got into Spaced until after I had watched Shaun Of The Dead :)

I only liked Gavin and Stacey because I think Rob Brydon is one of the funniest things on the planet and I quite like Ruth Jones. The rest of the show is meh. Or too maudlin.

I love the Inbetweeners. It's trashy good fun. The IT Crowd is good, too, but I know too many people like the guys.

I think it's just got quite a sweet humour to it and most of the characters are likable, even if you wouldn't want to spend to long with all of them in real life.

I agree about Rob Brydon though.

Series 2 is the first time that I've seen it, so I'm not going to vote. I haven't seen the first series yet :)

Inbetweeners i dont want to like but i do. just fed up of people going on about how good it is. its just fanny and spunk jokes.

I hate gavin and stacey mostly because i cant stand james corden. for me he is up there with robbie williams on the quincy hate list.

Only seen a few bits of IT crownd but thought it was pretty "meh"

I like beards though

Have to agree with Quincy. I used to like him, until he did that awful world cup show.

Look at me! I'm friends with all the England team! Look how jolly and rotund I am!

I think the World Cup programme was truly abysmal, but I like him despite that.

Ah Topher and DevilsDuck you are wrong for so many reasons. Go away and have a word with yourselves and come back when you have realised what a twat Cordon is.
