DOCUMENTARY: The Best of The Worst

How is it a documentary AND a panel show?! Anyway, sounds great - will look forward to it

[FishyFish]

I think that's just a Digiguide cock-up - although it probably features documentary footage.

[merman]

Oh dear, sounds very much like "TV by committee" to me.

Mr Armstrong was brilliant on Have I Got News For You though.

[Popo]

Could be great!

[boilingpoint]

Just a heads-up for people starting off the night quietly...

[cubeadvance]

David Mitchell is carrying this on his own, like a large backpack with everyone else on screen in it.

[Beertiger]

I like David Mitchell but he's one extremely opinionated freak. Like a complete opposite of Jeremy Clarkson but you can't tell if he's joking where Clarkson is obviously doing it to wind people up.

[Calum]

David Mitchell was utterly awesome

[Wallpaper]

Was it me or did the theme tune sound very like Have I got news for you's?

[ChrisN]

Agreed on the Mitchell comments.. he's a very funny chap.

And next on Channel 4, Another Panel Show With Only David Mitchell Being Funny.

[FishyFish]

Mitchell is comedy brilliance. Well reasoned comedic argument, punctuated by the occasional sharp vulgarity =

[FishyFish]

Anyone watch it last night? The premise is the flimsiest thing in flimsy town, but David Mitchell & Johhny Vaughn are great in it - so much so that you could just have a show of them commenting on stupid videos / rubbish inventions / idots without the panel show baggage, and it really wouldn't matter (in fact it might be better).

They also showed that insane bear / trampoline video too.

Mitchell is comedy brilliance. Well reasoned comedic argument, punctuated by the occasional sharp vulgarity =

Well reasoned arguement? You've never seen that show on More 4 then. More like an uninformed opinionated cunt who always thinks he's right.

Still funny though.

What show's that?

[Vimster]

Okay, so it's just another 9.30 Friday C4 filler panel game, but it's entertaining enough until something more substantial comes along. One thing though: Johnny Vaughn - SHUT UP! Honestly, that man just goes on and on, interrupts people's flow, thoroughly irritating.

David Mitchell was okay, but some of his flights of fancy didn't really lead anywhere. Generally though he does carry the show, agreed.
