Has anyone seen the comedy programme on friday Channel 4? what did people think of it? Good bad or ugly?

Unfortunately I missed it, but i still think it's great to have as much representation on TV as possible. i heard that representation of BBC women was a bit lame though...

It was so-so. Could have done with some better interviewees.

I was a bit annoyed by the portrayal of the relationship between a mail order bride and her new English family. It was portrayed as a good, successful marriage, with everyone in the family being interviewed EXCEPT the wife (who was purchased through an agency). Sorry but someone should have asked her to speak and got her views. Big mistake if you ask me.

But hey, I suppose it's better than nothing. It was a bit like reading one of those tourist guides to Hong Kong that try to explain what is good about the place. And you read it and think "yeah ok, you've kind of explained some bits for the tourists but you haven't really covered everything."
