Yes - first time I had ever heard of her was when I watched an episode of her new series after Frankie Boyle... I found her show far more entertaining.
I know I'll get slated for it, but I think it's very funny. The Fern Cotton sketch is brillant and the Gilbert show cracks me up too.

The Gilbert character is the funniest thing I have seen on TV in recent memory. I still get tears in my eyes even when watching it for the second or third time.
The funeral parlour couple are good too, can't say I care much for the other characters though. Boris Johnson boy and X-factor ladies get fast forwarded.

It is pretty funny, but I can't help but think that it isn't too politically correct either - a well observed take on a kid with learning disabilities (hands down trousers etc!)Hub said:

I wouldn't say "Gilbert" suffers from learning disabilities. He certainly seems to be all there, just socially inept and very clumsy. I knew kids like him when I was growing up (may be part of the reason I find it so amusing) and academically they made it through school just fine.
Trailer trash family is well played, but not as funny as some other characters. I am quickly tiring of "Fearne Cotton".

Gilbert isn't "special", he's a Nan-kid.In my opinion, Gilbert is the best sketch character for years. Utterly brilliant.
"No Nanna!"
"It's The Gilbert Show...a TV show...for the TV."
"Grandad, I need to delete a bit."
"Ooooh, Julie"
