and with 5 more to come...mondays will be set aside for IPlayer in action}}}}

There are comedians who appear to think they can only be funny if they swear.

Mrs Slocombe didn't swear and Dave Allan - well we still watch him and I cannot recall any swearing unless it was a damn.

Me Mammy was wonderful. Evidently I missed this programme.

It was on well after the watershed Uggers , started about 10.35 I think,

I can't swear to it, no pun intended, Chris but I am pretty sure Dave Allen went further than damn? but it is true that some comedians use the swearing to get the laugh rather than being funny...also depends on whether they are being 'themselves' or playing a character maybe?

Thanks Rose - I've just been having a look at it and think it's quite funny - could do with a being a bit more subtle in places but not bad.

I'm sure I can't be the only person who finds that well used swearing in comedy can make things funnier.

I thought it was very funny have seen it before but well worth watching again. mrs brown can be brought on dvd

Rose he may have but do not believe he ever used four letter words.

One certain four letter word is to my knowledge an anglo-saxon word and is a noun - today seems to be used a lot as an adjective.

Well, I didnt watch last weeks episode but I DID watch last nights', and yep I too thought it was pant wettingly funny!!

ps very much like "Bread" but Brown bread!!

I watched last nights also and like last weeks
thought it was hilarious. Am well and truly hooked,
laughter is the best medicine of all.

My opinion,For what its worth is, Anyone who has to use that sort of language to get a Laugh is not a Comedian,just Foul mouthed and unable to get a laugh any other way. Just ask yourselves ( Those who like it) would you in all honesty use it in your own home just for a Laugh? **M**.

**M** No I would not use it at all, but my sense of
humour is as is. I block out the f word and look through
it as in any film or play I see, if it offended me I always
have the off button that I can use. lolx

Has anybody actually said the name of this new BBC comedy here?? I'm not seeing it and I want to tell No.1 so he can download it. ;)

It's sounding like our Trailer Park Boys. Some stations here show it in rerun, bleeped. Most things the characters say consist of more bleeps than words, hardly worth watching. I wonder what they do with the episode where Ricky's in court and asserting his "people's freedom of choices and voices act" right to defend himself in his own way to the judge ("your majesty") -- the title of the episode being "if I can't smoke and swear I'm ****ed".

So would the Trailer Park Boys be if they couldn't swear. ;)

It's always funny to see celebrity guests from the US on the Graham Norton show when they haven't been fuly briefed ... "you can say that on TV??" Such Puritans they are there.

So tell me tell me -- what is this new show I need to see??

It's "Mrs Brown's Boys" Janey,
