A great deal is ad-libbed. The script is mostly a basis of what the episode is aboutJoycee Banercheck said:I loved 'Not Going Out'. Fantastically written, but I suppose most of it is Mack's stand up, which I really rate. Same as Tim Vine. Quick-firing one liners with word play have always been factors of comedy that make me laugh.masterwig said:I think I have a very British sense of humour. Never got into any American sit-coms.
I love the much derided 'Not Going Out' though which in many ways has an American feel to it. The cheap gags in that crack me up. In fact Lee Mack is one of my favourite comedians at the moment.
I can't understand for the life of me how Jo Brand is still on television. Has she ever said anything funny? Must be the worst around. Generally speaking I don't find female comics particularly funny, I don't know if that is because they aim their jokes for women or what. Victoria Wood is a very clever woman though.
Not keen on Chubby Brown. Don't find vulgar humour funny and a pretty cheap way to get a laugh. Jo Brand? She just annoys me with the way she says 'errrrrrrr' after every unfunny sentence. Victoria Wood has my respect too.

I've just downloaded all of the The Thick of It and I think Malcolm Tucker is my new hero.
As far as stand ups go, I think Frankie Boyle and Sean Lock (15 Storeys High by Sean Lock is an amazingly underrated sitcom aswel actually) are probably my two favourite in this country at the moment and a fella called Doug Stanhope from the States is quality.

I agree with what you said about Charlie Brooker. The one where Charlie described Susan Boyle looking like a haunted tree, and calling Piers Morgan something like a shit slug faced ballbag made me laugh the most
Good point about 15 storeys high. I watched a few of those episodes years ago, it was very good. I might get the DVD to watch it again. The cream of pork pie soup sounds good :P
