Product Description

Product Description
"Scenes We'd Like to See" is the very first "Mock the Week" book, published to coincide with the sixth series of the hit BBC2 comedy show. From gloriously rude 'Unfortunate names for race horses' to 'Unlikely personal ads' and lines that (sadly) never appeared in the Harry Potter books, "Mock the Week: Scenes We'd Like to See" is the fastest, funniest read of the year: a bumper book of all-new razor-sharp one-liners, including: Unlikely Medical Labels: No rabbits were harmed during the testing of this product - but the rats were less lucky; Greetings Cards That Wouldn't Sell: Happy New Breasts!; Unlikely Horoscopes: You will go to your bedroom window and stand there naked for a minute, you will do this especially if your name is Mrs Hughes and you live at 56, The Avenue, Clapham...around 3.30 would be best for me; Unlikely Lines from a New Harry Potter Book: 'I've turned my cock into a frog!' squealed Ron in terror.

About the Author
Dan Patterson is the creator and producer of Mock the Week, Whose Line is it Anyway? and Room 101.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - but requires a bit of imagination, 4 Sep 2008
As a fan of the panel show, I was initially disappointed when I picked up this book: it's written by none of the show's regulars (Frankie, Hugh, Andy, Russell et al), and I feared that the book wouldn't be as funny as I hoped it would be.

I needn't have worried. This book is achingly funny and a great gift. BUT! And here's the key thing: it does require a bit of imagination, I think. As the book is basically one big 'Scenes We'd Like To See' gag reel in book form, you need to picture the Mock The Week gang gathered around the press pit, saying the quotes you read in the book. When you do, it's hilarious.

Of course, by that same token, this book may go over the heads of those who've never seen Mock The Week (but then again, why ever not?!).

If you love the show and can mentally picture you favourite comedians in the 'Press Pit', you'll be right at home with this treat.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not great., 14 Oct 2008
By Carl Elliott "Carl" (Leeds, England) - See all my reviews
As a huge fan of Mock the Week, I was looking forward to seeing what this book had to offer, and to be fair it's not bad. There's a few funny lines, but it's a million miles away from the dry wit that features on the TV show.
It's obvious that the likes of Russell Howard, Dara O'brien, Hugh Dennis and the legendary Frankie Boyle were nowhere near the room where this was written.
All in all, its an OK read with a few funny bits, but it gets a bit repeatitive and it lacks the creativity and whit that you'd expect from MTW.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very funny & good to delve into , 10 Oct 2008
Most of this book is pretty funny, but in places it starts just looking like lists based on a few ideas. There's a lot of good material, though. Recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissappointing!
Just seems like a quickly thrown together bid to cash in on the popularity of the series, with none of the regular members of the cast giving a contribution.
