I've just recently started watching this - totally awesome. Very, very funny

Though for anyone familiar with the work of the wonderful Shaun Micallef - it is very reminiscent of his "Roger Explosion' character

nevertheless - great show.

I saw a bit of this show the other night. I will have to sit down and actually watch it next time.

Comparing something to Shaun Micallef's work, especially Roger Explosion, is always a good way to suck me in.

What the hell happened to this show? they did about 8 episodes then it just stopped!
I remember one of them had a high-speed chase in it where they were on pushbikes and they'd dubbed motorcycle noises over it, fucking hilarious.

Also, I saw one of the actors who played the other Dr. in a sketch show called Snuffbox on BBC3 or something (I can never remember what channel stuff is on). That was pretty good too, but it was totally random so you had to be ready for some weird shit.
