    have you watched the new Reggie Perrin Elli? I quite like it!

    Er - saw a bit - OH had it on last night BUT I loved the Leonard Rossiter version and can't understand why they remade it :confused:. I usually like Martin Clunes in other stuff though.

    so did I but they haven't just redone it - it's quite up to date but still similar. I listened to Paul Merton do the Blood Donor the other week and hated it. Usually love him too.

    But what's the point of re-doing a sketch? It's like re-doing a song, but trying to sound identical to the one before you; no point at all.
