I wasn't too keen on the latest episode. The previous ones have been great though.

The last episode about superlatives wasn't the best.
It felt like it was stretching out material which wasn't that good in the first place, and I think the subject had much more potential that was missed. |

I didnt think it was the best episode - it stretched out its material too much like the Greatest Hits thing.
The part where the string quartet started playing
Spoiler
was hilarious though Surprising that 'I Wish I was James Bond' only got to No.40

It does annoy me though when bands release a greatest hits and they have even the poor/mediocre singles on it, while leaving off album tracks that are often superior to the singles.

Even sub-standard Gorman is still better than anything else currently on.
Love the Found Poems - My fave bit. |

At his show now, the amount of people who turn up in checkered shirts is unreal

I enjoyed the bit about Greatest Hits but overall it wasn't as good as the shows at the start of the series.
Same as last week. It would be a shame if he's running out of ideas and the show is on the slide. I know it must take a lot of time & effort to compile and I hope he can keep up the good standards. |

I went away last week and managed to read Dave Gorman's latest book back to front, and unfortunately come back to find the last 2 episodes to contain content that was in the book be it with a little less detail, so slightly disappointing.

Still lower quality material than previous episodes but still worth watching.
I have to say the only SFG song I know is that "She's so luvverly" one and it's shit. Why didn't they just call the album "The Singles" rather than "Greatest Hits"? It's not like they had a decade of top 5 hits or anything. The band intro for the found poem was funny though

Thought this week's episode was better than last weeks. I enjoyed the Lego Movie, but felt Dave was spoiling it for anyone who hadnt seen it

I'm almost sure he looks here for his found poem.
Last night I could have sworn I had seen at least one of those replies about the new £1 coin |

I do love Modern Life is Good(ish), but have to agree the series tailed off a bit for me. Maybe it got a bit same-y?
I enjoyed the beginning of the series enough to book tickets for me and Mr EML to see Dave Gorman tonight in High Wycombe. The reviews were good, I just hope it isn't a re-hash of the series. I'm looking forward to it though (we don't get out much!). |

I thought it was an improvement over the last two episodes.
I didn't think much of the poem though. It seemed the coin segment was shoehorned in just for the poem. The rest of the show was going along nicely until then. |

It was a bit of a foolish 'joke' he attempted with the lego film (still enjoyed that segment though)
When the guy saw someone had made a huge donation for his lego film, chances are he would just ring a friend to top it up over the required level so he could then expect to receive the money... |

I fell asleep during the repeat last night but I didn't enjoy the section on coffee/tea.

I thought finding out that paying £3 for a cup of non-boiling water and a tea bag would wake you up

Series 3 starts tonight at 10pm on Dave.
Watched an old one last night to get me back in the mood and forgot how enjoyable they are to watch. A lot of effort must go into researching each show/subject. |
