	It was pant wetting.}} It wasnt crude as it really is very typical of some Irish families, at least those I grew up with......feck is used as part of normal speech. aint it now, BC}}

	Hi I also thought it was hysterical as did my OH. At the start I thought I hadn't heard right but must admit the tears were rolling down my face with laughter by the end of the programme. Crude yes, reminded me of old time theatre without the language of course. Emmax

	Ok, it was crude, the writing was uninspired, the acting was wooden... ...but I had trouble breathing by the end of it. It was absolutely hysterical and that's all I care about! RamblingRose, you are by no means alone! Matt

	...or to the pure all things are pure? remember it is what 30 years ? since Mrs Slocombe's pussy was on the BBC.... Dave Allen was irreverent way back before then. 'proper English' is not often to be found on tv, and when it is it is more often heard from those to whom it is their second language.

	How the Mighty are fallen......... the BBC which at one time only allowed dinner dress for announcers, and proper English was spoken at all times........ progress? like beauty, methinks, is in the eye of the be holder....... Bob

	Well, it made me laugh as well so what does it say about me lol. I didn't count how many times that word was used lol, and must admit some bits were a tad cringy. I liked the fact we saw the audience lol.

	is the acceptance of the 'f' word...but I've just been watching the new BBC comedy which had ( so it says) 34 uses of 'that' word in its 30 minutes, albeit it in its rather 'softer' Irish version... did anyone watch? and what did you think? I hadn't seen any preview of it and the Irish press slated it as pitching itself to the "lowest common denominator.".. though it has apparently been a hit with audiences. But it just hit my sense of humour lol, maybe there's no hope for me ;)
