Ballot Monkeys

...I wonder if the programme will sway the floating voters in any way; the LibDems are so sweet I want to vote for them to cheer them up a bit.

The writers must have been over the moon when Ed appeared with his 'tombstone' idea..seeing the American lady in the show makes me realise how that could have come about ie fiction meets reality [I bet whoever thought it up had a gonk as well ]. Can't wait for tonights episode!

Hilarious last night! Another tonight and then the last one on Wed.

I think it's clever and funny too but I keep forgetting to watch it.

I am really enjoying Ballot Monkeys too.

I like the blonde UKIP woman spokesperson who keeps dropping them in it.

They had 3 of them on BBC's The One Show and they look as though they are all having a right laugh on and off screen. They have to learn their lines and practically go straight into filming as it obviously has current news content to take the mick.

I really like the impartial piddle take too. Andy Hamilton is a funny writer and I like him on progs such as Have I Got News.

Just checked, the last one's on Wednesday. I love the way they're up to date with the day's news - it's really cleverly done.

Will there be one every night, d'y'think? Tonights was brilliant.

Very funny tonight, I thought. I was assuming it was the last of the series, but there's another tomorrow night as well.

I gave Newzoids a miss this week but I think I'll give it one more go.

Love Ballot Monkeys it's so witty and funny.

Don't mind Newzoids but constantly distracted by the puppets' hands being on sticks - it looks so wrong.

Eloethan I have heard of Episodes, but not seen it ( though I may try to now.)So am still trying to think where I have seen her.I didn't realise the UKIP woman was in Miranda either!

I watched it for the first time last night and thought it was really funny. I was a bit tired and almost believed they were the real people and not just actors.

The actors probably could do a better job!!

I love the American and her gonk! Also the LibDem who is so depressed he can now only meditate and then rush to the loo. Waiting for the UKIP lady (Miranda's friend) to go completely bonkers.

rosesarered I think the American lady was in "Episodes" the US/UK comedy starring Stephen Mangan, Tamsin Greig and Matt le Blanc.

Tegan, that is what I thought too, not so many good lines this week, but still very good.Hugh Dennis' impersonation of Boris is a hoot!
I am trying to remember what other programmes the American PR actress has been in( cupcake lady on the Labour battle bus.)She seems familiar.

I saw the first Newzoids but thought it was a bit infantile and not a patch on Spitting Image. Haven't bothered to watch it again.

I watched Ballot Monkeys for the first time tonight and found it pretty even-handed and quite funny.

What I really like is the BBC spoof (can't remember the name). I'm a great fan of the BBC and this takes the mick mercilessly but I think it's very funny.

I didn't find it as funny as last weeks episode, but it was still good.

Just watched this - so funny!

I am enjoying this! Cynical, moi?

Have recorded the second episode, so am just off to watch it now, it's 15 minutes in, so I can whizz the adverts on.

And when they said the tour bus had been used by Tony Blair...but. it's ok it's been exorcised. I keep thinking about bits of it that make me laugh out loud .

I loved all the panic stricken phone calls trying to keep everyone on message. (Even the politics speak is catching!)

I never saw that but, having seen trailers for it I figured that Ballot Monkeys was similar. Not much on tonight so I'll watch it on catchup.

I love W1A. I can imagine it being near the truth.

Did anyone watch W1a the other night? very funny.
