    Disappointing

    The title and story of this episode are from one of Alexei Sayle's oldest and dumbest jokes.It wasn't even a joke, it was just a random stupid thing he would say and somehow it was funny.Not surprisingly, it doesn't work as an hour long comedy.Some people didn't like that Sayle's stand-up,Young Ones appearances and his own TV shows were just him doing the same insane character with a Cockney accent.Those people haven't seen him on The Comic Strip Presents.For some reason when they let him write an episode of this show he makes the lead character so boring that it almost makes me hate him.While this episode had some great subtle jokes(like him being an unstructured activities coordinator)the plot is very thin.Some people would say I didn't get the humor but they are wrong.I got it, it's just not funny.
