³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

tee hee - done with grace and humility!!! come back to 6 ads!!!

Genius.

ROFL, I love it!

But I love the Persuasionists!

COCKNEY CHEEZE!! Leave it AAAT!!

Love it :)- The vid that is, I don't want to comment on the Persuasionists...

Funny, Buckmeister at his best.

I can't understand how the persuasionists did so badly. I imagine the planning went a bit like this:

Step 1: Hire Iain Lee
Step 2: ????
Step 3: Profit!

Now I think about it I think I understand the problem.

This video more than makes up for the airing of The Persuasionists. Well done Dr Buckles!

BTW, I find it hard to believe that MeeBox didn't get commissioned on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ3, but the Persuasionists made it to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ2. What is going on at the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ?

I do enjoy the way the papers always stick a photo of your head next to a scathing review.
At least you're like, well famous and that.

a-may-zing. Miss you buckles!

A sense of humour about your sense of humour. Love it. But come back to R6 soon.

Superb! 10 points for Gryffindor!

I bloody love it. Couldn't be better.

Having said that I could have quite happily watched more of the Persuasionists than I had time for yesterday on iplayer, but then I did also watch and enjoy Celebrity Big Brother (I pretended I was watching it from a sociological / psychological perspective - was I cobblers).

Fantastic. A straight up brilliant video!

:)

PMSL......Quality Buckles, quality.

Now, get ur a55 back to 6Music and make my life complete again....X

nice video buckles, are you in a spaceship? it makes me sad watching the persuasionist.

Your first summer job, did it involve punching a horse? Does anybody in your family have a fence post embedded in their skull?

It's a lot like the IT Crowd. Sort of Boosh-lite. That's a good thing but it's gonna definitely be cult, because that kind of humour isn't for everybody. Me? I think it's the best sit-com on TV right now. I do love Adam's character but the Simon Farnaby's character Keaton is a work of genius. I want a big pencil.

Such a shame that The Persuasionists will be what the public judge Buckles on. What a poor representation.

I think a sitcom starring Adam and Joe, of the higher-brow variety (Extras / Office etc.), not the usual slapstick style that Adam seems to get stuck with, would be absolutely superb. Anyone agree?

"I thought the internet was supposed to be about, fun, constructive criticism". Ha!

Excellent work Buxton. It's as if it never happened.

The video response was funnier, more original and 'wrong footing' than anything I've seen in "The Persuasionists". I know it's tempting to read this in an "Outraged" of Tunbridge Wells tone but I'm only moved to write because I can't believe there's no better 'comedy vehicle' for Dr.Buckles than this. The scripts are dire and the video response is clear evidence for the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ that the wrong man was writing them (should have been Adam). The Persuasionists feels like it was written by someone who's experience of advertising is having their beer spilled by two lairy Account Handlers in a Soho pub. Certainly the closest Andrew Collins (Script Editor) has got to advertising is when an Everest ad gets placed next to his Radio Times column.

Can't someone in 'The Castle' see the potential in televisualising the essence of the podcast, for the love of Stephen!

So, Season 2 is in the bag then?

Oh Ad, how i do love and miss thee.

PMSL Count Buckules you are a legend.

If I'm brutally honest (in a fun, constructive way) I didn't enjoy The Persuasionists - I tried, I really did, but it gave me a pain. This on the other hand is quality Buckles action - I'd agree with thecase4 on the point that maybe it would be better to let the proven funny person (i.e. Ad) run the show.

But then who knows what mystical things go on in the hallowed halls of the Castle. I just hope we get A&J back on Saturday morning duty soon - the weekend is less smiley without them.

Good work. The reply obviously. Persuasionists made me want to hurl soft fruit at the tv and cry. Actually saw this Buckles reply before the show (online first then at BUG), but went to iplayer to see what all the fuss was about.

P'is's (not worthy of full name) really is shockingly bad. How on earth this made it beyond a script editor is beyond me. I know some script writers and they will be wondering how on earth their stuff can get rejected if this tripe makes it through the Castle walls. And then the acting.. Grr. Still, made for good reply!

Buxton is a comedy genius. It's almost as if he deliberately appeared in a bad sitcom so that he could make this response. I fact, there can be no other explanation.

I went along to the read-through while it was still called 'The Scum Also Rises'. The final title should have stuck with the 'scum' bit ... It was soooo bad I walked out...and then the producer whinged at me for not showing any respect "for the hard work of the artists"!! Ad, seen you many a time at BUG! and followed your radio stuff since Xfm and I struggle to understand WHY THE HELL you would stoop sooooo low. Get back on the box soon... only this time choose a little more carefully.

Ha ha, re: the comment above saying, "How on earth this made it beyond a script editor is beyond me." I was the script editor. I'm sure Adam would agree that it felt very funny when we filmed it! The audience laughed and everything. It's a shame it didn't work out, especially for the writer, whose first TV commission it was, but it's very easy to criticise from the armchair. Nobody sets out to make a programme that isn't brilliant. We did put a lot of hard work into it, by the way. Anyway, you're right. move on. (I just thought I'd put my hand up.)
