    Gay's Grumpy Men.

    Did anyone see it last night? I thought it was absolutely hilarious (I dont know if it was meant as a comedy, but I found it funny).

    I thought the best part was when the old lad with the Cork accent (can't remember his name) tried to imitate the 'young people' dancing. Classic. :D

    It was ok, I thought, I preferred the BBC version though.

    It was a complete rip off of BBC2's Grumpy old men and not half as good.

    Yes, entertaining as a stand alone programme - but just too embarrassing as a blatent, shameless rip-off from the BBC.

    Saying that, Senator David Norris imitating a Dublin scumbag was worth its weight in gold :D

    I suspected even before I watched it that it was a 'rip-off' of the BBC2 version. I was more interested in how the irish version would turn out, nothing more.

    I was only commenting on the humour involved, not its huge simalarities with the BBC version, or where the producers got their ideas form.

    (P.S. The David Norris bit was classic. :D )
