Well Done Bbc, House Of Fools

[trt]

has been axed after 2 series.

I only watched it once, and how people can find Vic Reeves funny, beats me.

never watched that, but I see Dennis Lawson is now in it.....always liked him.

[Bathsheba]

Ah,...quite like him too! I'd say I'd give it a go, but my Tivo box is jam-packed with stuff to be watched due to my bad habit of nodding off as soon as I settle in front of TV at 8.30.....that's why I'm on here at this crazy hour, wide awake ;)

People find Vic Reeves and others funny because he tickles something within, trt.
Comedy's not an exact science or Lenny Henry would be in a jar on a shelf in a university somewhere.

The BBC have always supported unusual comedy - The Goons, Python etc so it is good to see them supporting R&M.

I watched House of Fools and while it could have done with more work on the script I found it very funny in places, very zany. However I agree not all of it worked.

Here is series 1 episode 1 on YouTube and there are some great jokes in there.

Vic: Morning Bob

Bob: Why, nobody has died have they?

Give it a watch, there are some good laughs in there.

## Vic: Morning Bob

Bob: Why, nobody has died have they? ##

That is the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life, I cant stop laughing, and have sent it to all of my friends.

Must watch the rest on catch-up :-(
