    I can't believe that the writers who come up with the comedy gold of AD week after week can't see the obvious
    1) scenes without Charlize Theron = hilarious
    2) scenes with Charlize Theron = absolute guff

    She's a stunner, and a rather good actress, but has no place in a comedy series. I also can't figure out if the accents are deliberately awful or if it's a gag
    (There was one tongue-in-cheek reference to foreigners playing Brits).

    I agree a big boo to
    Charlize's scenes and the whole "British Eyes Only" plot
    but a big yay for stuff like
    * "Wait for it.." Anyong!

    * The giant mole and Tobias' crush on the agent plus how Michael has curly hair just like him (think about the scene...)

    * The boom mike gag was great - just as they talked about people with listening devices. How class of the show to do it so unobtrusively that you could easily miss it.

    * Michael's confusion over Anne and the beauty pageant

    * The narrator bitching about being censored in the closing scene
    .. and many more great moments!

    Thought the two episodes were great (bar the "For British Eyes Only" crap of course).
