There has been a lot of talk about this new studio sitcom (with a live audience) and it has been very positively recieved by people who have attended recordings.
Poised to start in April (after Britain's Got Talent)

Curious to see it after seeing Sir Ian Mckellan on Jonathan Ross last night looks good.;)
A sitcom? On ITV? That's actually funny? :eek:
Colour me intrigued.
It does look pretty good.

I assume like most other people he has managed to wipe the existence of Plaza Patrol, a sitcom he did with Tommy Cannon from his mind

Robert Lindsay and David Threlfall did a much better security guard-based sitcom called Nightingales

It's just harmless fun poking fun at some of the typical stereotypes. Ian and Derek are both gay themselves so I think if it was offensive, they would have said. Not to mention one of the writers for Will & Grace is working on this too. In all honesty, as a gay man myself, I found it quite funny. The first episode definitely makes me want to see more. I'd be lying of I didn't know some gay men like Ian and Derek in this. If you like Gimme Gimme Gimme and silly tongue in cheek, b*tchy, catty humour then this will suit you. I love it. It's a little odd watching Gandalf/Magneto act a little camp at first but he definitely has the best lines so far. Frances De La Tour is good too.
Bloody hell, that is early to start a Christmas special, I've only just got back from my summer holidays
Ive seen more than a few! if ITV carry on I will have seen the whole series in promos! Same with the new job centre sitcom with Russel Tovey:rolleyes:
That's exactly what I thought.
And the fact that someone has likened it to "Gimme Gimme Gimme" means I'll be avoiding it like the plague.
Sir Ian Mckellan, Derek Jacobi, Frances De La Tour - how could it fail?
Well said. Some people really do get their knickers in a fankle over absolutely nothing.
When Rab C Nesbitt hit our screens many years ago, it was bursting at the seams with negative stereotyping of Scots/Glasweigans but we loved it because it was well written, well acted and a hoot - and yes, a lot of us did know or had met people who weren't that different, thus making it even funnier.
