Good, keep us posted. The Job Interview sketch is one of my favorites
as well.



I've made it through to the end of series four.

Series 3 was looking ok to start with, but started going downhill in the 
second half.
They seemed to be too aware that they were repeating themselves, and tried 
changing the formula eg. by making single themed shows.
John's absense in S4 wasn't that noticable, but that fact that he wasn't 
writing probably had more of an effect overall.

I was hoping to see (and hear) more of Terry Gilliam in the forth series, 
and it was funny to see him finally get a line or two.
They should have made more on-air use of him earlier.

But it sure was fun watching the whole lot straight through.  Flawty Towers 
next...
