boss somewhere stuck themes trying
As long as they keep the important themes -- a job, work, a boss going through a mid-life crisis, trying to make a difference, being stuck somewhere you do not necessarily want to be.
laughing funeral trying
Someone trying to be funny probably isn't as funny as someone who doesn't want to be funny but is and can't help it. Someone being serious or angry might be funny. If you get angry, the first thing I want to do is laugh because I don't know why you're getting that angry. Pathos makes me laugh, funerals make me laugh.
hate people trying
I don't feel any pressure at all because I don't care. That's an occupational hazard... but if you're doing anything of any worth, and not doing something that's safe and anodyne and trying to be populist and a national treasure, then you've got to assume that as many people hate what you do - and you - as like what you do and like you.
block trying failing
Try something. And never be afraid to fail. That failure is useful too. It's just another building block.

I like my baths really deep and hot. But washing everything only takes a few minutes. So I thought it would be a waste to just flush all that water away. So there was nothing else to do but take pictures of myself trying to look as horrendous as possible. Oh my, what have I started?
jobs healthy trying
Got a proper job at 28. Gave it up to try comedy at 38. Decided to get fit and healthy at 48. It's never too late. But do it now
expressed horror karl nice past
Karl had expressed his horror in the past at the thought of a rectal examination, and I thought this 'fear' was a nice theme,
bad material
You can get away with bad material if you've got charisma.
ensemble icing
The A-list celebrities were always going to be the icing on the cake. It's always been more of an ensemble piece.
book books-and-reading english-writer join
Why by a book when you can join a library.
boss decent identified job loved needs people picked
We picked on something people identified with -- a decent job at work, a relationship, a boss who needs to be loved and who is going through a mid-life crisis,
faithful quite scripts seen
We have seen some of the scripts and it is quite faithful (to the original),

We were slapping each other's backs so hard we were red raw.
