    Some of the one liners are funny, but overall it's just not grabbing me.

    It took me a few minutes to place her, but Ash's girlfriend is the same actress from the short lived US sitcom The New Normal.

    I suppose it's a bit like marmite, some people love it, some don't. I happen to really like marmite, and I love this programme.

    The critics might hate it, but I love Vicious. It's the only show at the moment that makes me laugh out loud. I thought Celia Imrie was great as Violet's sister. I hope she comes back.

    I think we can all agree that it's not actually very good, is it? But that doesn't stop it having some laugh out loud moments.
    NO, we cannot all agree that it's not very good. By all means voice your OWN opinion as to the merits of the show but please do not presume to speak for others!

    The acting talent on this sitcom is awesome. The two "knights" are absolutely brilliant in their roles. The supporting cast are also superb.

    This first episode was a pure "farce" in the the real sense. It was well written with some "laugh out loud" moments.

    It was a supporting cast member who supplied the line that had me picking myself off the floor. After walking into the middle of the staged scenario Mason calmly sat down and said: "You people are all f***ing mad""

    Brilliant,

    Brilliant,

    Not only is it brilliant but it is the only show on at the present time where the audience laughter seems genuine. Not the usual stuff, probably recorded when the warm up man was on, inserted out of context at a ridiculous volume using Pro Tools. Chatty Man being the worst offender.

    I'm not sure. The Americans are far more conservative than we are. And I don't see the congregation of the Westboro Baptist Church lapping it up either :D

    It did well enough on its first run in USA which is why they recommissioned it so it clearly has audience power there, where as ratings and critical estimation were low in UK.

    Well...........remember, this is the country that welcomed your Simon Cowell's drek with open arms. Survivor is in its 105th series. Never underestimate the lack of taste of the American audience.

    Did they at least get rid of the no talent actor who played the, ick, young boyfriend?

    Anything to do with the Westboro Baptist Church is a bad thing......they are a bunch of vile hate mongers.

    Brilliant,

    Series two was the first time I watched, and thought it was really funny.

    I probably wouldn't have tried it, were it not for the two leads, but I am glad I did, cos I enjoyed it. I thought it would just be loads of crude jokes about being gay, but I laughed a lot, and will try series one on DVD.

    I'm recording it later on ITV+1 and will watch it towards the end of the week.

    Really enjoyed the first episode of this second series. Still hit and miss but with some real laugh out loud moments.

    Loving the two ladies tonight. So funny with them in the flat on their own.

    Is it just me or does Ash's new girlfriend look similar to him?

    Probably turn out they're releated. Gormless as each other.


    Thought IMc was good in his stint as playing a poor butler and the dotty old woman is the star of the show but didn't think much of the others or the guest spot by Imrie.

    For me they were easily the best scenes/lines tonight, Penelope particularly, her characters brilliant. Not quite as good as last weeks, but I still thought it was pretty funny.

    I just watched on +1. All very light comment wise on here. Not many watching?

    I hope some awards recognise Marcia's contribution to the programme even if they don't generally like the show.

    Iwan Rheon definitely used some of his Ramsey Snow skills tonight. :D

    :D I wish he had said "I'm from the north" instead of Wigan.
