Okay...just saw this for the first time tonite on BBCAmerica.
"The Levitating Biscuit."

I'm really trying to get it but I suppose I'm hopeless.

Care to comment?

Oh and to add...Who is Chris Lassiter? I tried to do an internet search and came up empty. I am so trying to understand this programme.

I don't remember the particular sketch 'The Levitating Biscuit', but I find Mitchell and Webb's sketch show is a bit patchy - it can be very funny, but not all the time. I much prefer 'Peep Show' - the comedy drama they star in together, that's brilliant! Does that get shown in the States?

Hi Chris,
I haven't seen "The Peep Show" here on BBCAmerica yet. It's a Channel 4 programme so I don't know if BBCAmerica would air it. I'm not sure.

Any thoughts on who Chris Lasiter is? Is he a famous footballer or something?

Cheerie,

Hi Shannon!
You're right, I presume that BBC America only shows BBC shows, and Peep Show is made by Channel 4, so unfortunately they probably won't show it. You can buy it on DVD though if you're interested. Be warned though - don't watch it in the vicinity of children, it can be VERY rude!
As to Chris Lassiter - I'm afraid I haven't got a clue! Remind me again - which sketch does he feature in?

I'm not sure what sketch it was because they kept boppin' here and there throughout the show. They just kept saying things like, "That Chris Lassiter is so manly." "It's ok to say how fit he is." ...stuff like that.
