    Easy to see where they got the Psychoville title from - that's what The League Of Gentlemen is called in Asia.

    Psychoville was, as expected, brilliant! Much better than Krod Mandoon, which was the other show I caught for the first time today.

    It did feel very League Of Gentlemen-ish, with Mr Jelly and Joy coming across especially as natural followers from Papa Lazarou and Pauline. Which, IMO is a good thing - in fact I get the feeling it really is LoG season 4 with them changing the title to avoid being pestered with "Why isn't my favourite character in this year?"

    Watching episode 2 on Red Button now...

    Wow - is it me or has Mitchell and Webb took a huge dive with the new characters? The only skits I liked in that episode was Remain Indoors and The Two Snooker Commentators retrospective. Outside of them two I didn't laugh a bit.

    I miss Sir Digby Chicken Caesar. :(

    Great and quite gripping stuff there in Psychoville. :bolian: Steve Pemberton in particular was brilliant.

    And of course Mitchell and Webb before that had me in stitches for the most part - Dr. Death was easily the funniest skit there.

    The second episode of Psychoville was even better! It also seemed to go a lot quicker, as well as being funnier.

    Waiting for Psychoville on HD, just pre-ordered the Blu-ray set of Psychoville.

    I'm liking Mitchell and Webb as much as ever.

    I never liked Sir Digby Chicken Caesar, and I actually thought this weeks episode was far superior to last weeks.

    But Sir Digby Chicken Caesar is the best of the lot! (although Numberwang does come close)

    Just watched Psychoville - loved it! Especially the "Fuck Pig" line, delivered as only Pemberton can.

    BTW - Sir Digby is the awesomeness. That is all.

    im going to disagree with you all on this one, Numberwang was excellent however.
