I saw Cross live in october and at the end of his act, he showed a long clip of the show and I have been waiting and waiting for more episodes. i dont care who or where it airs, I’m sure i’ll find it online somehow

It’s just a pilot; so far no plans to pick it up.

That said, it’s fucking hilarious, and I could see it being picked up by HBO.

@ AEVC – the shows you mention get a late night slot so they can be shown un-cut on national tv. the fact that i could watch larry sanders say fuck on bbc 2 was worth the fact i had to watch it at 11:20pm. which isn’t that late anyway. and regarding the morning shows. they’re are all repeats. the first runs were on at prime time and well treated by channel 4.

Ugh, Cross is a funny guy, and has had some good projects, but the guy is an elitist hipster asshole. His stand-up is just so much “I’m better than the room” bullshit.

Yeah, but my point was… what was my point? *goes and makes a nice cup of tea*

Cross mentioned in the LA Times last week that Alvin paid more than all of his other jobs combined.

@ AEVC — But those are all examples of shows made for U.S. networks. This is FOR British TV, BY Americans. Suck it limeys!

If British TV’s record when it comes to handling top notch US comedy is anything to go by this show will air after the weather on a Tuesday morning one week, after the snooker on a Sunday the next, then out of sequence, then a three week gap in between episodes, then on a different channel, then they’ll skip an episode completely. See Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development, Larry Sanders, etc

/Probably more a BBC thing than a Channel 4 thing to be fair.
