      Thank god it never got filmed, otherwise it would be sinkhole of gold comedy without the ability to stop watching it. And i am by no means jokeing when i say that.

      Agree to disagree. That would remove the mystery. Makes it a much more passive experience. Using your imagination is half of the brilliance. That or the animation is preferable to just showing you

      MC they mentioned the webcam on some of the old shows. “The webcam isn’t pointing at the air conditioning unit, is that because it’s more interesting than the show” Imagine if that footage suddenly emerged! 😮

    Evolution is driven by competition in an environment. Adaptability is the ability to survive a changing environment. These are two different opposing forces that pull a species between being specialised and general as it evolves. Survival of the fittest can be applied to both. Whether it is the fitness in a certain attribute: like display plumage in birds, or adaptability: like a rats omnivorous diet. The key to surviving as a species is usually in finding a balance between these two aspects.

I'm a huge Merchant fan now, of all his work, and I feel cheated that all I've ever seen before of this duo before then is of Gervais.
