And it's not all about comedy

But for now, it is. Some years ago i was sitting at home, sofa bound and desperate for something to come and erase a chronic case of catatonic boredom. Now it's quite dangerous to simply bombard your brain in this state with heroic amounts of stimuli, it will turn you into a replica of an acid casualty for a while. Far better to inject the good stuff gradually, let it sink in. Which is where the more sublime type of comedy can work wonders. Sean Lock is a genius, nobody can argue this. Yes he does have a tendency to repeat old material in his standup routines however i don't think anyone quite reflects the absurdity of modern english life quite how he can. Nobody can encapsulate the lunacy of something as mundanely english as queueing as hilariously as he often does. Anyway, Mr Lock created a sitcom which tapped directly into my brain gradually releasing chemicals which effectively cured a moment of terrifying boredom, 15 stroeys high, one of the most underrated shows ever made. Here's a clip





It was developed from a radio show which you can get here, it's well worth a listen and you can hear some of the material for the tv show developing. Enjoy.
