BBC2 10pm tonight, and iPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p07gy83t

Mandy (Diane Morgan) sees a sofa in a shop window, really wants it, and can't afford it. There are a couple of other shorts too, one of them with Lolly Adefope.

Indeed not the most side-splitting comedy... however Diane Morgan is a bit of a guilty pleasure.

The others were dreadful too - I'm not even going to entertain the idea of watching that berk with coco-pops on his face!

I enjoyed them. Apparently the first episode is the weakest of the series so that bodes well for the remainder imo.

Only seen the sofa one so far (no pun intended). Lady Di sitting outside the Taj Mahal, The Normal's 'Warm Leatherette' on the soundtrack and a guest appearance by Carol Decker. And the sofa being too big at the end. Not bad at all.

Great fun last night . She is the only person brave enough at the BBC to tackle the russian threat to the UK.

It does make me feel rather uncomfortable. I like the show though. Nice legs too.

Its a bit like the facial thing Gervais does in Derek.. bit annoying. However Diane Morgan is pretty fascinating.

For anyone that hasn't seen it - Mother Land is excellent, she plays a great part in that.

Watched the six new episodes last night and there were some decent laughs. hehe

A decent hit of surreal humour to make up for the dissapointment of Toast.

Thats the badger!! I knew him from somewhere (and not a face you'd forget really!)

Got to say it - Mandy is better than Toast now

Thats good news. If its already written they will be done by the end of the week lol.
I sort of hope she tones down the grotesque a bit and she would gain more fans and viewers.
Then it will move to bbc1 and be total st like top gear lol.
