Well I managed to get the 3rd episode working and it was slightly different to the first 2, altho it still wasn't even a tiny bit funny again.
The who wants to be a millionaire thing, how original
As usual the stereotyping was over the top with moss being scared of spiders, living with his mum and being a member of a internet dating site.
Some stupid bits in it aswell like the clown laughing and pointing at the bloke literally touching his nose for what seemed forever, with what seemed to be more canned laughter (again).
Despite watching all 3 episodes I still fail to see what is so funny or fascinating about this show.

there is one cruel thing tho, now you've read thru this thread you already know what's going to happen
This forum seems to be the only one I've visited where people think it's funny tho.

Thats what I said as well, I wrote an E-Mail to C4 to find out about this no outside UK access (As I am Canadian) and said, judging by the forums it would seem the show could use all the fans it has.

Ah well... teething problems i suppose
was there much swearing???? i can't remember there being any! o well. i thought it was even funnier than the first 2 actually. i just found the whole idea of those dates so funny. and if the millionaire thing was unoriginal, well it still completely cracked me up. it's predictable, but i think that's why this show is so appealing. it's nice, clean, predictable fun. didn't notice the canned laughter so much this episode either.
Teehee, "Im going to Kill you, you bloody woman", that was an excelent attempt at being a pysco . Whats the language like at an elite girls school?? I aways assumed that girls that went to all girls school were rather posh

I didn't say it was canned laughter, I said it seemed like it was.

Yup, it's not surprising really.
The fact it's "filmed in front of a live studio audience" seems to be one used to try to hype the show up? when the audience seems to be one of the things which lets it down.

I agree on that one, the laughter is a bit too much. Although without it, the show might lose a big portion of the audiance, due to the 'don't think about it' approach. If there is no laughter, some of the jokes may go over a lot of peoples heads (Can't remeber, did the audiance laugh at the ZX81?)
