"How many people here have gone to bed so angry that you pretend to have a nightmare just so that you can smack [your partner] in the head? I've done that twice this week."

I have to say, Caulfield is one of the funniest comediennes on the British circuit right now. My gosh. I think what I like about her the most is that unlike a lot of female comics, she takes her humours from others as opposed to herself. This is a tres masculine trait, but it's a nice change from all the self-deprecation that goes around. Her direct opposite is a lovely wee bloke called Mark Watson who is the quietest, loveliest guy. But it's been a bit weird watching these episodes as they air (I came to the Live at the Apollo series really, really late) because they've featured some really great people that I've never heard of. And now Shappi Khorsandi is everywhere, and I saw Sarah Millican on Have I Got News for You and basically I want to see as many comedy acts as I can now. Which. I don't know what that is. I still want to see a ballet at Covent Gardens, too, so I haven't completely flipped over, but my levels of obsession are a wee bit up right now.

Guys, this was the last in the series. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW? You know. Other than see Michael McIntyre live (!!!!) in October?

I have missed all but two of the Comedy Roadshow episodes, and I can't find them for download/stream anywhere, woe. But this comment is basically just to say: MARK WATSON YES, THAT's his name. I was talking about him on twitter last night and I couldn't remember what he was called or whether he was Australian. Thinking about it now, I'm also not 100% sure he was the one with the prosthetic leg. My brain FTL.

SEE TWITTER :D FAIL

Mark Watson is the guy who is grateful to be married. The Australian monoleg I think is Adam Hill. I think?

But WIN for trying! I can't believe this isn't available to download ANYWHERE. .. OH BUT. I think I may have found full eps on YouTube. \o/

... Adam Hills! Says Google. I can't believe he's actually Australian. I thought I made that up. :D!

\o/ HUZZAH!

Hee, I used to get Watson and Hills mixed up, too. This is mostly because I am blind with a poor memory, though.

(Eeek, the Weeds your watching is possibly the best of the season oh gosh.)

They sort of look alike, don't they? Kind of?

I find this season to be a little TEDIOUS. Shane is shaping up to be interesting, though, and I love Celia's bonkers lesbian daughter.

Dark hair, point jaw, slim - so, yeah. That's all my brain registered. lol.

Oh, it's not, say, season 3 (!!!!) and the comedy is low rent, but I love the story. Isabel is GREAT and crazy. There's a scene in the second half, though, that is my favourite, and deliciously old school.

Well, same here, apparently. Though Mark dude is a lot cuter.

I don't even remember the events of season three. That's what I get for watching all seasons in the space of a week. Is s3 the one with all the gangster going-ons, culminating in the torching of Agrestic/Majestic? & that scene you were referring to, is that the one where Nancy threatens Shane's teacher? Because LOLS. (Also I want a theremin. !)

Omg, I just want to PET HIM.

Yes! With Marvin and U-Turn and all the rest of them.

The baseball bat scene is the best thing. I loved it. So Nancy!
