I'd forgotten Peep Show and I can't help but get the feeling that I'm 
forgetting a load of other stuff too. Of course the fact that I've forgotten 
it could be taken as a sign of it's quality but Peep Show was very clever 
and original.
I didn't think much of Nathan Barley or Brass Eye. Too much like poking 
someones dog with a stick just to see how it reacts but The Day Today really 
is the greatest News Felch of all time.
I'd really like to see some Americans give an opinion on the Boosh. I'm 
completely convinced that it would be a huge hit there.
