Sick man of Europe

Sick man of Europe So a record 1.8 digiviewers tuned into Little Britain last night? A show incorporating:

- I’m Alan Partridge-style excessive taped laughter,
- Tired-sounding old catchphrases and unmemorable new ones,
- Vomiting, breastfeeding, spitting, fat suits, more vomiting, filling the gaps where the jokes should have been,
- And Ruth Madoc and Vanessa Feltz!

After weeks BBC cross-media plugging - Jo Whiley a major culprit here - how could this be anything but a disappointment? The only successful outcome of last night’s show was making the subsequent My Life In Film and its feeble Top Gun homage seem half tolerable.
