Oh, please, my radical feminist, gay and trans friends—any friends I’ve picked up during these strange five years, in fact— please give my show Count Arthur a try. It’s on Netflix, no-one saw it, and it’s great. Arsehole Guardian journalists said the laughter was canned (it wasn’t, as with ‘Ted’, ‘Black Books’ and “IT Crowd’, it was filmed in front of an audience) and put everyone off it.
Steve Delaney is one of the funniest men who ever lived, and he had a fantastic dancing partner in Rory Kinnear. It was one of the most satisfying things I worked on, and I would love if more people knew it.
Here’s one of my favourite episodes to give you an idea. Feel free to watch this first, it won’t ruin anything.
Thanks for all the kind words on the show, everyone. It's like the old days in here!
Ah rats, it's not available on Netflix Canada yet. I typed it in and it gave me The IT Crowd instead. (Now I'm watching the first episode of The IT Crowd, which I hadn't seen before. Ten minutes in and we've already got unisex toilet jokes and Harry Potter shout-outs. You're a time traveller,Glinner!)
