Hey look its my old avatar.

Courtney's full of shit.  She tried to hire El Duce to kill Kurt and when he started talking about it she had him drugged and run over by a train.  Hard to believe Alan Partidge actually dated the skank (if just for 2 weeks.)  She's clearly bitter and trying to besmirch Coogan's good name.  Bah!

El Duce from the Mentors?

[So Cow]

The Mighty Boosh.

Oh dear.

A whole lot of not good.

You know another El Duce?

I'll sixth Darkplace and disagree with the so cow.

Whoa, you zung me!  But it could have been Mussolini with a typo. 

But is this like a well-regarded conspiracy theory?  It seems to ring a bell, but it also seems sort of batshit loonball.

[Josh]

Are Phoenix Nights and Road to Nowhere good?

I've only seen clips.

El Duce claims as much in the movie Kurt & Courtney.  He also offers to tell more if the filmmaker will buy him beer.  This must go against some kind of documentarian ethos or something, because the (sleazy in his own right) filmmaker assumes that's the end of the interview, and opts out of buying the dude beer.

Yeah, I dunno, man.  I wouldn't trust El Duce to.



I actually stared at the blinking cursor for almost three minutes and couldn't come up with anything that would do it justice.  Maybe I should start a new thread: what wouldn't you trust El Duce to do?

Adult Swim is showing Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, starting on Friday. Be prepared for the fright of your life.

[Josh]

So how do you like that Peter Serafinowicz show?

Saxondale any good?

[Sarah]

I thought Saxondale was good.  I've only seen clips of the Peter Serafinowicz show, which seems uneven but worth watching.

Armando Iannucci, who was involved in some of the Coogan/Morris shows, has made some wonderful stuff the last few years: The Armando Iannucci Shows, Time Trumpet and The Thick of It.  All these are worth seeking out on DVD/internet.  A pilot for an American version of that last one was apparently made (directed by Christopher Guest), but hasn't been picked up anywhere yet.

Snuff Box is great too- it's Matt Berry & Rich Fulcher from The Mighty Boosh, although if you don't like that show you may not like this.  Rich Fulcher is the funniest American unknown in his home country since Bill Hicks (or is that Rich Hall?).

Peep Show is awesome, all 4 seasons.  It took me a couple episodes to get into it, then I was addicted.  A U.S.A. version of it was attempted, I guess it stunk.

[bruce]

Time Trumpet is more miss then hit. The Tesco Wars bit is the best thing in the whole series.

Saxondale is good, and Serafinowicz I gave up on a few episodes ago.

[Jason]

Snuff Box is great too

You're not wrong -
