The red grape must surely be God's greatest gift to man. I have been at work for not two hours and

have devoured nearly an entire punnet. My word they're good. Wd God imo.

I had visions of you swilling a particularly fine Gevrey-Chambertain at your desk, smacking your lips before giving some poor c**t two weeks to live.

And then I find out you're just eating the things. :-( Most disappointing.

Mind you, I suppose that sort of thing can wait until you're in private practice.

I was wondering about the word 'punnet'. Why do we call a box a punnet as soon as it contains fruit? If I take something out of a small box and put fruit in it, does it thereby become a punnet?

Cos I have no idea what that is. Thankfully.

It's a cult classic that really brought the world of medical dramas into frightening new places.

You know, when it was authentic and really meant something.

Dark Place is great though, well worth a watch, here's a behind the scenes documentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cr6ufGzlcwk

I do wonder if poor old Matthew Holness occasionally watches the telly with all his old pals on it and thinks 'What the f**k happened?' :-(

[Pat Vegas]

So a punnet was a certain measure or something.

[Berni]

Indeed, when I watched The Mighty Boosh, Ayoade, Berry et al were simply 'Those guys out of Dark Place to me.

Now where do I get my beard and penny farthing?

[Classic Jorge]

He seems to be not so much stuck in a rut as stuck in a niche, a very small niche at that.

He genuinely doesnt seem to want to be as big as all the other people.

[Classic Jorge]

If anything I thought Dark Place and Man to Man with Dean Lerner were much, much better than the first series of Boosh.

[Berni]

[Berni]

Rich Fulcher, Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade offered the biggest laughs imo.

[Classic Jorge]

Also it's an odd scenario where the music actually enchanced this, as opposed to Toast of London, in which it definitely doesnt.

I do still genuinely chuckle about Pising in the Driver's Seat every time I see or hear Nigel Mansell though.

[Berni]

It offered an excellent contrast of the two writers behind Father Ted. Linehan is clearly a much more disciplined writer who doesn't allow his more whimsical ideas to distract from the story arc and the remorseless logic of farce, whereas Mathews is much more hit and miss, but has a genuinely brilliant surrealist turn of mind.

[Classic Jorge]

Matthews is just a fundamentally warped person, which is tremendous fun sometimes too.

[Berni]

Lineman mad, since he clearly feels no need to bother with things like consistent character development, exposition or internal logic whatsoever.
