Comedy Round-up

Thursday night is comedy night on the Beeb, so Barking At The Television thought it was time for a quick scan over the current comedy crop.

Mock The Week

Or... Have I Got Fucking Spastic News For You is back in all its sweary, un-PC glory – well, all Frankie Boyle's. You still get a bit of Now Show political satire from Hugh Dennis and childlike wonder from Russell Howard. The format is samey (Dara O'Briain can barely be arsed to explain the rounds any more) but the jokes are razor-sharp as ever (although it was a surprise to hear Howard trot out the hackneyed line about Andy Murray being British when he wins and Scottish when he loses).
