  1. It doesn't matter how many times I see it, the "Colonel Abrahams" line at the end of the Private Browsing duolog has me in stitches without fail.

  2. Ah, booooo 😟

    Not only is this week’s #mockTheWeek a clipshow, it’s the last of the run.

    I really hope TLC commissions another series 🙏

  3. Catching up with #MockTheWeek Genius that TLC has brought it back. BBC2 must be miffed they cancelled the show.

  4. Top Joke from Zoe Lyons on #mocktheweek

    "Why are female tortoises in Macedonia throwing themselves of a cliff?".

    They are trying to avoid the Inshells...

  5. Thanks to #MockTheWeek just like most of the panel we've only just learnt about T.G. Jones too.

  6. Catching up with a repeat of last week's episode of the new Mock The Week series that's launched on TLC. Pleased to see that it's completely unchanged. Enjoying everyone feigning science stupidity to almost drive Dara to despair wanting to explain things to them.

  7. @WiteWulf
    Where is this?
    Where can I watch it??
    I absolutely love #MockTheWeek

  8. Well, the new #mockTheWeek was fab. Very much the same as the old Mock The Week, but with a little less of the old fashioned BBC editorial oversight.

    More, please, TLC, whoever you are!

  9. In some of the few bits of good news recently, #MockTheWeek is returning to the airwaves, almost 4 years after its previous cancellation (it ran from 2005-2021), with some faces old and new:

    Here's the pilot (including John Oliver and Frankie Boyle)

  10. Private Browsing
    Corporal Punishment
    Major Damage
    General Recklessness
    and, for some reason... (this is the bit that always has me in tears of laughter)
    Colonel Abrahams....

  11. Spotting Tory political pressure on the BBC, no.223

    You'll recall, when the Beeb decided not to recommission Mock the Week, they came up with some story that it was not offended Tories who'd 'encouraged' them to bin it off, but the fact that it was a tired format losing viewers.....

    so odd that they are now regularly showing repeats of old editions; almost like they were still popular, isn't it.... and their explanations were just a smoke screen for their Tory chums.

  12. Unexpected bonus tonight. Dave (the TV channel) is showing an episode of Mock the Week that I don't remember having seen before. I didn't think there were any of those left

  13. Why is #BBC2 broadcasting a 2-year-old comedy show called 'Mock the Week' including jokes about the Covid-19 Omicron virus?
    I am not sure I want to know the answer, but I am just noticing it here.

  14. While its not #MockTheWeek, its a serviceable substitute given nothing could really replace MTW; the Great American Joke Off even uses some MTW regulars to fill out the lineup: youtube.com/watch?v=dnfQBSgQ1H

  15. If you’re missing American late night TV during the #WGA strike take a look to the British satirical offerings. “Have I Got News For You” is weekly and extremely good. “Mock The Week” is cancelled but the years and years of episodes hold up well. Lots of great stuff on YouTube.

  16. #UK comedy-panel series #MockTheWeek, which ended a 20-year run last year, is getting a US adaptation on #AmazonFreevee from #TrevorNoah and original series creator #DanPatterson. The series sees two teams of comedians take a satirical swipe at current news, pop culture, and world events. #television #streaming

  18. Old episodes of #MockTheWeek are my safe space. Genuinely. I'm gutted that we are no longer creating more of them.
    Being able to spend 30 minutes with an episode really helps me calm my head down.
    I guess this is more of an #ASD1 thing than #ADHD.
