Gentle ABC workplace comedy Better Off Ted recently had an episode in which an office memo inadvertently told everyone to insult one another. Being a primetime network show, the fruity language was relatively tame.
Fortunately, during recording, the cast were allowed to go wild and here are the out-takes to prove that yes, swearing is big, fun and clever. There’s some good ‘uns in there. Enjoy (although probably not with the sound up if you’re at work)!

Being Human, an everyday tale of a ghost, a vampire and a werewolf who house-share, was the surprise success of BBC3’s 2008 pilot competition. I loved it to pieces. It was great.
Although beaten at first to the series draw by Phoo Action, it got a series pick-up a few months later once it became clear that it was a vastly better show, thanks in part to an Internet fan campaign, and thanks again in part to people having seen Phoo Action.
Mostly recast, it soon became BBC3’s surprise drama success of last year. Now it’s back for a second series. Can it maintain the quality?
Not quite, and I’ll tell you for why – it doesn’t feel so real any more.
It’s Monday, so here are three lovely pictures provided by our usual trio – now’s the time, everyone else, to stop them building up a lead, so send your pics in now!
Don’t forget Friday’s caption competition.
Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery.
Every photo displayed on Monday (one per person who sends one in) gets five points; the best pic in the stash each week will appear on Friday and get ten points.
You can also enter the witty and amusing captions league table by commenting on Friday’s Sitting Tennant photo, the best caption getting 10 points, everyone who contributes getting five points.
Got a picture of Richard Armitage’s head, preferably wearing a hat? Then leave a link to it below and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Dick Heads” gallery.
