Has BBC 1 ever aired a more disgusting, unfunny crude load of rubbish than this?

It's affected her delivery IMO, comparing her scenes last night with her earlier work. Her lips permanently jutting out resulted in her slurring a bit. It's all a bit sad really.”

After reading you comment I watch as much as I could stand of this show and agree, she did not look right. Her face looked quite puffed up

Sheridan Smith is going retro, the last time I saw filler that bad it was Ivy Tilsley aka Lynne Perrie

OFFS Jimmy Saville, what is it with the childish codes in this place.
He's not the sodding Candyman if you say his name 3 times he appears.
I know euphemisms are supposed to be popular among the English, but some people over do it.

I don't think Sheridan's had any work done, she just looks like she's put on a bit of weight to me.

Nothing wrong with that.

Indeed, but she'll never look as hot again as she looked in Grown Ups or Two Pints.

She's not going to be a Lumley or a Mirren, still being sexy in her 40s 50s 60s.

Not than I'm sexist like ye ken.

Can't watch anything with Walliams or Frank Skinner. Illogical, maybe, but I can't ignore a visceral shudder!

I can't watch anything with Walliams in either, which in turn means I have to avoid a lot of telly these days. In fact I'm starting to have an actual physical reaction to him now, and it's not the pleasant kind either, it's the kind I usually reserve for politicians. Ten minutes is my limit now with Walliams, and that's only because I'm big and hard and northern. His appearances as 'himself', actively destroying every programme desperate or foolish enough to book him, are the very worst examples of his 'ouevre'. His scripted appearances like in this show, terrible as it is, are almost bearable by comparison. Even so, the best bits of this are the bits without Walliams in. It's not even that the material is poor [which it generally is] - in the hands of someone less 'David Walliams', it might even be salvagable. The problem is David Walliams, pure and simple.

Calculated or not, he is/plays the very epitome of a spoilt, tedious man-child with his nauseating 'look at me mummy I'm on telly being outrageous again' set-pieces. The only time I've ever been even vaguely amused by one of his panel appearances was an old Big Fat Quiz where Eddie Izzard [of all people] quietly tore him a new one and even managed to silence him for a few glorious minutes.
[Walliams - aided, abetted and encouraged by Miranda Effing Hart {MEH} - had been doing his 'This is MY show' schtick for what seemed an eternity already, when he did an uncomfortable little routine perving over the swimmer Tom Daley, suggesting a steamy encounter in a changing room. Tremendously outrageous and shocking, rinse, repeat, yawn. When he was done, Izzard quietly enquired 'And will you be taking your wife along?']

Yeah, David Walliams. I clearly needed to get that off my chest.

[Ooh. Er. Missus.]

I can't abide the man, as himself or in character. He's an even creepier version of Ricky Gervais. The other night I was channel-hopping before going to bed and fell across 'Walliams & Friend'. As I was just about to move on, they started a sketch which spoofed the Carry On genre, loaded with innuendo and double-entendre. Although it appealed to my 70's sense of humour, I realised it was nothing more than a re-tread of an almost identical sketch from about 10 years ago, possibly a Harry Enfield one.

I do like his slumming ACTOR! skits though. Apparently all it takes is a funny pronunciation of "sausage" and "nugget" to amuse me.

Is anybody elses sound going up and down on tonight's episode?

It's absolutely dire tonight with Meera Syal as guest.

I have reached the conclusion that David Walliams just isn't that funny without his far more talented sidekick Matt Lucas around. The comedy sketches in this new show are weak and barely raise a smile most of the time.

The only bright spot tonight was the appearance of the brilliant Ricky Grover..

You might be thinking of Mitchell and Webb.

Comedy isn't funny business when Mr Walliams is involved. He just doesn't make me laugh. He should be encouraged to take up something else. Perhaps long-distance swimming at which he is very good.

Apart from the last sketch which went on too long I quite enjoyed it tonight.

Underrated show. Not ground breaking, but pretty well crafted compared to this.

Thanks to meera syal this episode was very funny. Loved the good cop/granny cop sketch.

I like David, but this isn't doing anything for me unfortunately. I liked Come Fly with Me and Little Britain but this seems weak in comparison.

I do like his book adaptations too but I think I prefer David when he's not scripted (e.g. on Britain's Got Talent).

Significantly better than Walliams weak attempt.

Walliams seems to excel at being irreverent on comedy panel shows where he uses his attention seeking skills to get out of his seat to annoy and disrupt with supposedly hilarious consequences. That's where his talent lies and that's where it should stay.

Quite enjoyed last night's. Favourite bit was Wee Jimmy (Janette?) Krankie as Nicola Sturgeon. Bang on!

Love watching this show. Best comedy show I've seen in ages. Love comedy sketch shows and humour like this.

I thought this weeks episode might be a bit less dire, with Miranda Richardson in it...... But i was wrong, if anything it was even worse than previous efforts.
Totally unfunny sketches, depressingly drawn out far too long.
