Anybody caught it yet? Two episodes have aired so far...

[Old Superstar]

I missed the first episode (with Ben Stiller), which got mixed reviews. The second episode was on last night (with Ross Kemp - aka Grant from EastEnders - and Vinnie 'Lock, Stock, etc.' Jones) and I really liked it.

Yes, the 'celebrities making fun of themselves' thing has been done before (a la Larry Sanders, but Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant - who plays Gervais's character's agent - have always admitted that they've been influenced by other comedies) and there will, I'm sure, be the inevitable 'not as good as The Office' comparisons, but it's definitely worth a further look.

Not in context, but any show that has the line "C'mon love, get your minge* round it" has got to be worth watching...
