  • I would absolutely cry about it. Who are you trusting to enforce the death penalty? The same people who are 1) in government, and 2) accuse queer people of being groomers?

    Even without arguing over whether the state would abuse/abuses the death penalty, there’s the fact that the punishment is irreversible, which in the event of a mistake means you execute an innocent person.











  • I did watch it and enjoyed it, but felt it wasn’t quite as good as that Mitchell and Webb look. Certain sketches (e.g. sweary Aussie drama) felt like the same joke repeated, rather than variations on a theme as for e.g. remain indoors, and the pacing didn’t feel quite as snappy. Felt like the ideas — a lot of which landed well — were being stretched a bit further than the original series.

    Not to knock it too much, as there was a lot there that I did like, just not quite on the same level for me personally.

    A (radio) series I did really enjoy from writers on that earlier series is John Finnemore’s Souvenir programme (esp. the first few series, but I also really loved series 9 even if it wasn’t a traditional sketch format). Def worth a listen.
