I don't like Ricky Gervais. That's why I didn't bother watching the second season premiere of Extras last night. To me, the man and his writing just isn't funny. That and he's too smug, but lets leave it there shall we?

I did however, watch That Mitchell and Webb Look. I'd never really sampled either comedian's writing before, but as I was expecting, the show was really funny. As you'd expect with a show of it's nature some jokes worked better than others, and rather unfortunately some weren't really needed at all. Despite these niggles, I think as a show it does show off the creative talents of both men, because of the show title and massive input- as good as Peep Show is, the sad truth is that the majority of it is written for them, so it's great to see them flexing their creative muscles a little for their own show. For a start it was great seeing David play characters a little more easy-going, but thankfully, a lot of the characters Robert Webb played last night contained the same elements of moody sarcasm mixed with bursts of high energy. The guest appearances of Paterson Joseph and Olivia Colman was nice too though, it helped ensure I wasn't about to jump completely into a brand new show. Plus Olivia is absolutely lovely.

I also watched Mock The Week, with the ever-funny Dara O'Briain. I'd only caught parts of the show's last run, and despite the similar concept to Have I Got News For You, the show still feels fresh and funny, if not more lighthearted. That alone was evident with the guest comedians and the performance rounds. With such a stellar comedy line-up for Thursday nights, BBC2 seems to be the place to be. BBC 1 last night were showing football and Eastenders, while ITV, well, you know what ITV are like, don't you? Comedy on a Thursday night is a welcome change, and if recent efforts on Channel 4 are anything to go by, Thursday may be the new weeknight for comedy.
