BBC TV’s unoriginality - Grouchy Club Podcast 79

Unoriginal BBC TV sitcoms crucified by critic Kate Copstick. Why performers are entirely right to call her a bastard. John Fleming’s criminal background. The English and Scottish injustice systems. Copstick ‘outs' herself as a Corbynista and talks of her secret lust for her English teacher. PLUS Why Ariane Sherine wants Copstick as her mother and John Fleming as her father. And the “bundle of chaos” that is comic Neal Portenza.Copstick’s quotes of the week: “Why don’t they just put a sign on the BBC saying “Our commissioning execs don’t believe anyone can come up with a good idea or write anything original ever again, so we are just re-hashing?”+“I am very excited to discover that I am podcasting with a convicted criminal. You have risen in my estimation no end.”http://www.grouchyclub.co.uk(Photograph by Stephen O’Donnell)You can also download this audio podcast from iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/grouchy-clubs-mostly-about/id977279883John Fleming posts occasional blogs at: http://blog.thejohnfleming.com
