You won’t feel that you have any choice once you’ve sat through this – BBC News have announced that Mong and Bint’s James Corden and Mathew Horne have signed up to make a new comedy sketch show for BBC Three.
I shit you not.
Worse, the once respected television corporation have described it as: “traditional comedy entertainment show in the style of Morecambe and Wise”
Which is tantamount to sacrilege. What business do a moon headed clip and his fat mate who couldn’t write an original gang if he was possessed by Marty Feldman have attempting to be Morecambe & Wise?
Jesus, what the hell is going on here? What next?
This really is an insult not only to Eric and Ernie but to our sensibilities. Mong and Bint is as funny as Auschwitz, award or no award – how come the pair of nomarks have this particular gig when Vic and Bob aren’t on TV, when legitimate double acts around the country are converging on Edinburgh this summer to get their work noticed?
The BBC is letting us all down, not least Corden and Horne who are way out of their depth.
Demand your licence fee back! (Or just don’t watch it)
