Thought the last series was quite weak actually. Could be a reflection of the quality of the TV it looks at though.
Lately it suffers from focussing too much on the soaps/X-Factor and trying to make characters/sketches from it, though maybe it doesn't help that I don't watch those kinds of programs. When it's just general observations on the program it's 10x better. Favourite bits being Dr. Robert Winston ('I'm here on the edge of a dormant volcano in the Phillipines... when really, I should be at work.') and the Fussy Eaters programs where he just takes the ****. I'll still watch despite the downturn, though hopefully it'll pick up again.

That's because you only watch a few bits of it. If you haven't watched it all you just wont get the jokes. It's full of in jokes, recurring jokes, evolving jokes etc. Yes it's silly and childish, but actually quote funny in places.
It occured to me that while watching one of the last eps that someone who hadn't seen the previous few eps would have NO IDEA what was going on and why a particular joke got such a laugh.
Read the wiki page for more info.

Just seems like the most dumbed-down comedy on TV. No offence to those who like it.
Agreed - it's easy, "turn your brain off" type humour

Really? I was always thought it was just the pish-break before X Factor.
