Thank God You're Here

I feel kind of dirty pimping an unscripted TV programme but Thank God You're Here can be very funny at times. The current sketch that is available is Cal Wilson doing a fine Miss Caicos impression, including the immortal lines
Beauty Contest Judge: If you could get rid of only one thing in the world, what would it be?
Miss Caicos: It would be .... (pointing) Miss China!


I thought Tony Martin's superhero sketch (including his arch nemesis "Barry") was the funniest this week. Generally, most of the sketches are fairly good, with only the occasional miss (like Anthony Field - the blue Wiggle). Most people seem to really go for it, resulting in a very very funny programme (if you can just ignore the host, Shane Bourne, who is truly one of the least funny people currently alive - in fact, I think there are a couple of dead people who are funnier than him!). It has been don't-miss TV for me for a while now!
