Series 2 - Marvelous!

First show of the new series last night. I was dreading that it would be bad. It's not! Hurrayyyy!!!!!! Tom Baker - 'The Queen opened Britain in 1982' - mad as ever. Bubbles - with her sagging snooker cue tits - genius! The Jam taster - quality! Vanessa Feltz and the brilliant Indian lady - fantastic. Lou and Andy - better than ever! Vikki Pollard nicking sweets with a cash register in the buggy- superb. Can't fault it at all. The pirate memory game man came back for a sketch set in a dating agency looking for any woman that must be called Susan Williams (it can be anyone, but she must have a glass eye, be 38-39 and have shoulder length hair). All in all, its a cracker. Can't wait for the repeat already.
