It was equally cringeworthy watching Jasper Carrot the other night too. Pathetic.

the very reason i didn’t tune into any of them as they were superb in thier day

a lot of commedy for blokes is the cheeky chappie or down on luck types

none of wich works when older you just start to feel sorry for the old guy rather than laugh at a young guys missfortune etc

i feel they tried a kind of johnny english for tv with jason , where it probably would have translated better with a younger guy like atkinson

but also to be remembered is that jason has done little if any commedy for years so we’re used to seeing him in straight roles

and the fact that in commedy only fools is never going to be improved upon it had the crem de la crem in all aspects anything jason was going to do after commedy wise was never going to be the same legend !!
