Mitchell and Webb & Psychoville

Psychoville was just plain amazing. Shame M&W was by far the worst episode of the third series, as it's been a big improvement on the previous two in my opinion. Still loved Hennimore! and the drunk hotel though. It's replaced by Buzzcocks repeats for the next few weeks, so a bit of a gaping chasm between MTW and Psychoville now.
 
The bbc said at the end of ep6 if you press the red button you can see ep 7 but we can't get it?
Are we the only ones.
We have a virgin box not sky.
 
I just watched the final 2 episodes last night and loved the whole bit with the explanation where The Black Gloved Man was saying he was controlling everyone and they called his bullshit asking where the dwarf and David were, and he admitted he didn't know what happened there. Then after his explanation of what happened Mr. Jelly said "Hang on, I'm gonna have to go back and think about this see if it makes sense." :lol: I'm sure many people had that reaction.
 
I completely forgot to post my reaction to the finale due to my reaction to it. Which was mostly whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!. It was brilliant. More please.

Lomax's story about why he collects Snappy was the best though.

Loved that bit too, got Snappy, then just chucked him back out to sea... :lol:
 
*Does the happy dance* :D

I was very impressed with Psychoville - it had the best elements of the League Of Gentlemen in a tighter, more plot driven environment.
 
News on the recently filmed Halloween special and second series of Psychoville.

From BBC Press Office

Star of stage and screen Imelda Staunton is to join the cast of the forthcoming Halloween Special and the second series of the award-winning comedy-thriller Psychoville, written by and starring Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton.
For Imelda this marks a return to TV comedy, after her recent roles in the Harry Potter series, the Oscar-nominated Vera Drake and the roving gossip Miss Pole in BBC One's Cranford. Imelda will star as a sharp-suited, shadowy figure with mysterious motives.
Imelda says: "There's nothing I enjoy more than hanging out with weirdoes, freaks and undesirables, so of course I jumped at the chance to work on Psychoville with Steve and Reece."
And once again writers Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton take centre stage playing a range of loveable grotesques in a world that only they could imagine.
Reece and Steve say: "Imelda completely 'got' the show and we felt really lucky to 'get' her. She was fantastically funny as a slightly frustrated megalomaniac."
Commenting on her character they added: "She looks like a cross between Mary Quant and Louise Brooks in the role. She plays a powerful woman who is a little bit Jane Tennison from Prime Suspect but longs to be James Bonds' M."
In the 60-minute special the spirits are gathering at Ravenhill Hospital for the Completely Insane where TV researcher Phil from "Dale Winton's Overnight Ghost Hunt" is scouting locations. He is about to have a night that he will never forget - assuming he lives that long...
Set on the scariest night of the year, this gothic special features an anthology of terror that will both fright and delight. It will both trick and treat.
Other stars across the special and the new series include the return of Eileen Aitkins as Nurse Kenchington, Dawn French as Joy, Daisy Haggard as Debbie, Jason Tompkins as Robert, Lisa Hammond as Kerry and Christopher Biggins as himself.
The cast for the second series also includes Jason Watkins (Being Human, Lark Rise To Candleford), Mark Bonnar (Casualty), Sarah Solemani (Him and Her), David Cann (Brass Eye) and Katherine Parkinson (The IT Crowd).

Sounds good. Been looking forward to more Psychoville since the last one finished. Glad we're getting a special on top of a new series.
