Yes I liked this too, except for the last episode which I thought fell prey to the exact type of luvviedom that the previous episodes had been satirising. But then I've never been that impressed by Judi Dench. So a kind of metaluvvie luvviness? V clever. |

All of series 2 is on iPlayer now and it is absolutely fantastic. Now they have a full grasp of what they can do with the format, they push it even further. I could watch David Tennant and Michael Sheen talking for hours, they really play up to the egos they present onscreen.

I watched the first episode and loved it. Like talkingheads, I could watch the two of them for hours on end.

Episode 7 phone gag, priceless. That was my thought too. Perfect. Though the childish tit for tat as to who could get the most impressive backdrop for the call from the boss was probably the favourite moment. |

Trying to eek these out so don't just watch all at once. But 2 episodes in and impressed they haven't just revisited it but have taken to the next stage.

For some reason I can't stand this and don't find it funny at all. Some of it may be the way it is filmed. I usually love Michael and David in whatever they do but have tried the 2nd series after giving up on the first. Oh well I suppose we do all have different senses of humour.

Loved the first series, but not this one. Concept is good, but I didn't want to see all these guest stars at the expense of the Michael & David-show. Only one I really enjoyed was Episode 7. |

I'm loving it (binged 4 last night, the rest will be tonight) but one thing confused me - why are all of the guest stars playing themselves, apart from Whoopi Goldberg who is playing an agent called Mary?!
