Who Gives Kudos:


Tuesday, February 13, 2007 
The BBC are proudly broadcasting one of our, by now legendary, bunged-together out of the scrag ends, Best-of/unseen bits/compilation shows of the last series.
It's on, on Monday February 19th on BBC2 at 10pm.

We've only ever made 26 shows of Mock The Week and 4 of them have been Best-of/unseen bits/compilations. We are, officially, the most self-mythologising show in television history. Plus, each recording goes on for about 2 and a half hours, so there's always loads of extra bits.
Mind you, you'll never get to see everything. Somewhere, hidden in a vault is a fifteen minute round we call "the legendary Anal Lube" round, where the entire panel just made jokes about anal lube. And Cherie Blair. And got the fit of the giggles while the producers kept screaming at me to steer it back to the week's news. It has never been broadcast.
Maybe we'll slide it out on Youtube someday…

There was me thinking that when you said a Special it meant that the BBC had cut Hugh Dennis from the whole thing.
And I don't know the name of the other one I don't like.
The Panel is much better.

Awww, Hugh Dennis rocks! In fact, there's no-one that's been on Mock The Week I didn't like. Although I have a strange liking for Russell Howard. Can't wait for the next series already!

Nice comments on 'Dr' Gillian McKeith. Personally I think she's an idiot, who can't seem to say Birmingham properly and calls poo 'bahookies'. What is that about?

I was in the audience for the "Anal Lube" recording last year, how I wish I'd flouted the rules and used my phone camera. Millions of YouTube users would have loved it!

Can't wait for the special on monday seeing as there's no Mock The Week on thursday. Good thing Top Gear is back on or tv would have been shocking this week.

Pleeease get the anal lube round makes onto youtube! If ever there was going to be a diversion from uni work, that would be it lol

Well you can't really say anything other than Huzzah to that can ya?
Obviously I mean a MTW special not the anal lube, not that I've anything against the usage of anal lube or anything like that...oh dear this hole seems to be getting bigger...oh dear that was a bad use of words wasn't it.  Oops  Why do all my conversations end up being about Electric Blue porn?  arsetitwankbollocks
