Having a laugh

Has the BBC lost its funny bones?

Martin Clunes plays grumpy but lovable Martin Clunes as Doc Martin to huge audiences on ITV. Martin Clunes plays grumpy but unlovable Martin Clunes in Warren on BBC1 and the audience is ho-hum.

Last night 500k of the Warren audience swerved the re-invention of Alan Partridge, in the Mrs Brown's Boys slot. Just 1.9m stayed with wince-making Steve Coogan - 10% of the available audience.

Both shows needed some re-shaping by wiser old heads before recording....
