The new dead ringers website is great - they've mocked up different areas of the website to go with the programme

so, you've got a mock crimewatch website, mock entertainment website, mock cbbc website and even a mock bbc.co.uk homepage

not only is the website perfect but today's ep was totally perfect yet again.

The South Bank sketch had me in tears.

This week's episode was good but not as good as previous week's offerings!

The South Bank/South Park parody was the highlight this week!

Loved the BBC Digital Radio sketch. I cant help thinking some of the writers are TV pres fans - what with BBC idents and promos being mocked on the show.

The mockery of the BBC One dancers had me laughing, but I thought that this episode was generally far less funny than the others.

I didn't get the South Bank/South Park sketch at all Confused

And i also laughed out loud to the start of the newsnight sketch "Im the photo-negative to the bloke off the Halifax adverts" - right to the point.

Yeah, I wasn't as impressed with this week's episode as I was with last week's. I prefer it when it features lots of politicians, and David Dickinson! I'm sure they haven't done a sketch with him yet in this series?

Why is it that when they use the Tango ident (which is the one they mocked today), the "BBC ONE" logo is missing? It isn't missing from the other idents they use.

They may have the same copy as was uploaded to the BBC One website downloads page. I'm not sure if the boxless copy is still there though.

That was very funny as was the commentator on the bus, Blair sending in fat kids to Iraq and the Fiona Bruce/Crimewatch skit, that was probably the best one, they even made reference to the glasses!

I'm always doing that - but surprisingly not with Dead Ringers! Usually, I'll get into a really good documentary series, and then I'll forget about an episode, and then completely lose the thread!
