Since Sarah suggested this was a comedy to me and I couldnt find a topic about it in here, I decided to start a new one. If there is one, moan at me :lol:
Has anyone been watching this? The second series on Channel 4 started this week and I thought it looked quite funny from the trailers so I gave it a go- and subsequently have been streaming episodes from season 1 for the past week, its fantastic!

Plans for Chinese Ugly Betty show A Chinese TV station has said it plans to make a Chinese version of the hit series Ugly Betty. Invincible Ugly Woman, as it will be called in China, will be made and screened on Hunan Satellite TV.
The station said it was planning 400 episodes of the show over five seasons, with shooting to start next month.
Ugly Betty, about an ordinary woman who tries to fit in at a fashion design company, has been a major ratings success in the US.
Hunan Satellite TV said that a woman with no prior acting experience had been cast as the female lead, while the lead male had not been decided.
The station is best-known for the success of its Super Girls talent show - the Chinese version of American Idol.
Ugly Betty was inspired by the Colombian telenovela, a Latin American soap drama, Yo Soy Betty, La Fea, which translates as I Am Betty, the Ugly One.
It was adapted to an American setting by former Oscar nominee Salma Hayek.
Actress America Ferrera became an overnight sensation in the leading role when it first aired in 2006 and went on to win a Golden Globe for best TV comedy actress in 2007.

Oh he's still my first love, but an eyefull of Eddie never does me any harm!
I was looking at Skipp's IMDb record yesterday. It looks as if he's not got any work yet this year.
Perhaps I should send him a tenner? :D
