I used to love The Fast Show, but I didnt find it funny tonight, maybe its dated now, especially the awful Benny Hill bit at the end. Would rather have the memories of the old episodes. Not even Suits You Sir ! The wheelchair sketch was a bit uncalled for I thought.

Not just me then, I didn't see it all but the bit I did wasn't funny at all.
its always been over-hyped rubbish. Each to their own though. ;)
It just proves that your tastes change as you get older.
I thought it was dreadful too. I don't think I laughed even once.

BTW, it's *Suit* You Sir... :-)
I thought it was good.
Wheelchair sketch didn't do anything for me but I loved the rest of it. Especially Swiss Toni likening riding a bike to making love to a beautiful woman.
I used to like it but it`s dated. I used to like Rowley Birkin (the drunk old man in the Gentlemans` club) and I think he would still be quite funny. I have recorded it to watch when I get home but I expect I will fast forward through most of it.
I quite liked Ralph & Ted going on about Twitter and Facebook
Is it back on then ? The first time I saw that show I thought it seemed good. Then watching a few more I realised they were all identical, and lost interest.

What caught my eye here was a reference to bad Benny Hill. Surely something almost as rare as hen's teeth !
I thought it was OK, did seem a bit dated though.
It was very leaden. I'm working my way though a recently-bought boxset of the original shows and there's a vivacity about them that was missing from last night's offering.
I meant to add that Sunday's Enfield/Whitehouse spoofs of BBC2 shows looks good (but trailers are all too often misleading).
-- answer removed --
Harry and Paul's look at BBC2 made me laugh and I thought it was very cleverly done. They are both so talented.
Did anyone else watch it?
Really enjoyed watching it, especially "Ralph & Ted".

Had me LOL at times, that doesn't happen very often with TV nowadays!
They were very rude about John Cleese. That was extremely funny.
