Judges detached from the reality of the modern world.

For some reason I’ve recently been reminded of this cracking sketch from ‘Not the Nine O'Clock News’, which used go out on BBC2 between 1979 & 1982 as a comedy "alternative" to the BBC Nine O'Clock News on BBC 1 – enjoy!

lol, they don't make them like that any more.

Assuming you're in the UK, have you watched the 10 o'clock Live on Channel 4 on Thursdays? Its had the wife and I in stitches every time. Brilliant. It sort of reminded me of Not the 9 o'clock news, but is based on real-life news instead of made up news or sketches.

Somehow that has passed me by, not that I watch much TV anyway, but thanks for the heads up on that - I'll have to watch last week's episode on 4OnDemand tonight.

God I love Rowan Atkinson... THE BLACKADDER!

Not so much a fan of Nick Carr.

10 o'clock Live on Channel 4 on Thursdays?

I had totally forgotten about this until earlier when looking for some good comedy on the excellent SeeSaw catch-up TV service - we are now watching the last four episodes, excellent stuff!

Absolutely brilliant show - love it

In terms of judges, I must have been quite lucky in the ones I've met - majority/all have seemed pretty switched on and "normal". I wouldn't believe all the stereotypes!

MGSteve, I must thank you. I just watched the episode of 10 O'Clock Live from the 10th Feb and it's interesting. It reminds me of Mock the Week.
