I'm half way through watching Bill Bailey's Part Troll and I have to say he's absolutely fantastic. His mix of intellectual gags, musical talent and general sense of humour are fantastic, I'm shocked I've never heard about his stand up talent before. I've seen him on Never Mind the Buzzcocks but didn't realise how good he really was.

What do you lot make of him?
 
I don't really think he's underrated, he's always been a legend and most people know it. He's got some great DVDs out there.

I love the BBC news theme song and the foreign emergency sirens :p

:D :D
 
I love Bill Bailey.. He is my favourite comedian, hes got so much talent plus he comes from my neck of the woods. Can't wait till I finally get the chance to see him live! :)
 
I love him, not only a QPR fan but an amazing comedian and musical talent too. We were lucky enough to see him live in November at Wembley Arena and it was one of the funniest comedy events I've been to.

The U2 bit on Part Troll is my favourite... "Hello!!! (some old celtic ********)". :D
 
My favourite comedian by a long shot and an astounding musician too.

"What people don't know is that Little Chefs were built many years ago on ley-lines and then the roads came in after and connected them up."

:D
 
'Part Troll' was shown last night on C4. Very funny - I too particularly liked the BBC News take off, and for the old 'uns among us, the Kraftwerk take-off was pretty funny too. :D

One of the few comedians I have time for. Most of the modern lot seem to think that the only way to get a laugh is cheap jokes or to swear every third word. :/

Bill Bailey had a series on the BBC about 10 years ago called "Is it Bill Bailey". It seems I'm the only person who rememebers it. There's some clips on youtube
