Grumpy Old Men

What a load of old cobblers! BBC2s 'Grumpy Old Men' purports to channel the gripes of celebrites every day mundanites and how these get on their nerves so much that they're pracically apopleptic with rage. In fact, of course, a savvy not-so-funny twenty-something researcher/producer has dredged this topic out from the ever so predictable list of trivial inconveniences to modern, civilised life. So these 'old' (when did 45 become old?) men and women desperately pretend to be agitated by, variously, people who buy food in garages, mobile phones (yawn), teenagers and popcorn in the cinema. Oh give it a rest Grandad! This show's about as original as as an old man's wardrobe and as funny as a hip operation. But you've got to love these celebs and their 'wit'. Laugh? 'thetvreviewguy' nearly had a hernia...
