![]() However, the richness of 'Little Miss Jocelyn' stems from this variety. ![]() With such a large variety of characters & ideas there will always be some that you won't like. Admittedly, there are a few sketches that fail to hit the mark (especially in the first series), but the majority make me laugh out loud. I didn't like her previous show 3 Non Blondes & had low expectations. It certainly holds its own against all the other character based sketch shows that have appeared over the last few years. I really don't understand why so many people dislike this show. Don't give a show to the first one who comes along just to fill your quota. And a note to the BBC - There are tonnes of perfectly talented ethnic minority comedians out there. You'll see just how bad television comedy can be. I implore anyone who hasn't seen this show to give it a watch. A small whimper escaped as I realised I had lost the use of my legs. ![]() The audience seemed to like this as well, but by that time there was no doubt in my mind that they were being held at gunpoint. A sketch with absolutely no direction - which appeared to be about some fitness fanatics or something - meandered on for about ten minutes. The audience loved it, seemingly unaware of the Stupid Fish continuing its terrific facial barrage. She screamed repeatedly like a distressed boar for the entire duration of a sketch. She did a cheap, "Last Of The Summer Wine"-esquire wheelchair out of control sketch. But hey, I could sit here and bitch all day. The only conclusion I can draw is that those in charge of our entertainment industry - get ready for the irony - really don't have the first clue about entertainment. It beggars belief how such a show even got commissioned, let alone made it past BBC executives, producers, script meetings, rewrites and all of the normal processes every TV show goes through, only to end up as this steaming pile of pig's offal. Watching "Little Miss Jocelyn" is like being hit in the face with a massive fish with the word "stupid" carved into its flank. Including that god awful one with Jasper Carrot where his kid's in a wheelchair or something. This is quite simply the worst programme I have ever seen masquerading as television comedy. And I can honestly say that instead of sitting on my couch with an expression of bemused disgust on my face for thirty minutes, I wish I had simply stood up and head-butted the wall until my face bled. After succumbing to the ram-it-down-your-throat hype campaign for this show, I thought I'd give it a whirl after tonight's episode of "Never Mind The Buzzcocks" had faded off the screen.
