David Mitchell has just said that series 6 starts on Fri 18th Sept. 

Not sure I agree with that. Series 1-3 were genius, but they seemed to be losing their way with 4 & 5, as if they knew what made 1-3 so popular so just went back to the same formula.Spuddy marvellous, one of the few comedy series that has lasted 5 series and still remained fresh and funny...

Still very watchable though so am looking forward to the new stuff.
It's not so much that they need to change it, but 4&5 were nowhere near as funny as 1-3 for me, they seemed to be going back over old ideas and they didn't quite hit the mark.I see what you are saying but it is a winning formula they have so why change, when you change the formula slightly or majorly is when a comedy series can go off the rails. My favourite episode is the series 4 opener when they visit Sophies parents, absolute classic
I do see where you are coming from though but I feel they havent needed to change the way the show is, if it ain't broke then dont fix it.![]()
