Nice to see the Guardian berating the BBC for failing to make a big enough noise about one of its best writers and comedians, Julia Davis, and for putting Lizzie and Sarah in a graveyard slot at 11.45 on a Saturday night. Lizzie & Sarah is brilliant, and as with the best comedy (as the writer points out), you don’t know whether to laugh, cry or join a protest group.  It’s dark humour, but in my view, there is nothing so dark, offensive and vile as, well, just about anything else on TV that fails to take a critical or comical look at itself (reality TV, ‘talent’ shows, double-act ‘news’ shows).

This made me laugh: Merton, a guy with a piano improvises songs in realtime about the people who appear in his chatroom window on Chat Roulette. I could sit and watch this for hours except I have to go to work. Damn!
