life of riley bbc1 8.00 p.m. official thread

[Bluejuice]

I wouldn't have given this programme a single thought were it not for the torrent of abuse it got on here. And I've subsequently heard reports of its appalling shittyness on the radio and from other people in the real world SO I thought I'd give it a go as I had a mate over this evening and we were at a loose end.

Unsurprisingly it was UTTERLY dreadful in the extreme. What in the name of blue buggery that Caroline Quentin is still doing on TV I have absolutely no idea. And quite how anybody can put their name to it beggars belief. It was almost INDESCRIBABLY bad, except that I CAN describe it - SHIT.

I would bang the daughter and enjoy it though, so it's not entirely without merit

Piece of trivia here for all those gentlemen of a certain age who fondly remember Razzle magazine. The lad who plays Jake in the comedy "Outnumbered" with Hugh Dennis is called Tyger Drew Honey. Not in itself interesting until I tell you that his mum is Linzi Drew the British porn legend and his dad is Simon Lindsay Honey aka Ben Dover.

I think my MILF fixation might in part have something to do with Linzi.

I gave it 4 minutes. WOW that it is truelly awful...

I nearly gave in after the title credits.
And I did officially give in at 2.27...omg it is bloody awful. How can anything like that be commissioned?

That was BRILLIANT. If anything, I think it topped last week's episode. Some genuine CRINGE OUT LOUD moments in there. It's so f***ing terrible that, as sad as this is, I'm HOOKED

spot on badger. a great half hours entertainment in casa Spanish, enjoyed by all ages.

was funny to see the loppy groovy dad from Bullshit's Brighton lesbo fest in it too as the neighbour. for some reason he cracks me up, unintentionally. He is destined to always be one of those 'oh you know, him out of..' actors.

I tried, I really did, but I just couldn't bring myself to flick over to BBC1 at 8.

Next week I'll prepare myself, I might even watch the first 2 episodes back-to-back on iPlayer

How the f*** they managed 5 million viewers for episode 1 i'll never know. My explaination is all those OAPs huddled around their tellies for warmth instead of putting the radiators on.

I can buy the fact that it's so shit it's watchable, but you're just plain LYING when you say you're hooked. Do me a f***ing favour, you're hardly going sky plus it whenever you're busy elsewhere are you?

It's absolutely WANK. The worst programme the BBC have produced in years. It somehow TROUNCES that absolutely terrible Only Fools & Horses spin off that follows it, in that department.

I gave it about 30 seconds during the ad break in the middle of The Simpsons on Sky 1. That 30 seconds was quite enough thank you.
