BBC - who commisions this rubbish?

 
I've given Candy Cabs three quarters of an hour, and I haven't come close to even just smiling once.
 
It's described as a 'comedy' in my TV Guide.
 
I should be able to claim back my Licence fee under the Trades Descriptions Act, or whatever it's called now.
 
Who reads the scripts and/or watches the pilots for this sort of complete rubbish and decides it's fit for human consumption?
 
For example: "I have four sons... and not one birthday card in all these years - mind you, they don't send me one either".
 
Hang on, I'll just go and get a needle and thread, it would appear that my sides have split.
 
Or am I just getting older, cynical, and harder to please

Excuse me, Steve (if that's your real name).  I believe you've exceed the humour limit for this forum.  Side splitting humour (spelled with a u) is, by definition, not unfunny. 

 
 
Bubba (if that is your real psoudonymn seudonym pseudynym alias), I apologise.
 
I agree that my metaphour was misplauced, and that no real sides were split in the watching of said prograumme.
 
I'll try not to use similar analogous aliteration talk like Bapsi in future posts.
 
You have my wurd.

Avoided it like the plague. Looked like a poor man's 'Carry on Cabbie' from the trailers. Have you seen 'Twenty-Twelve' on Beeb 4 Steve? Lovely stuff, especially the 'infrastructure manager'

I haven't seen it mate, but someone else recommended it to me just the other day.
 
I was told that the debacle involving the countdown clock had been parodied before it actually happened!
 
Thanks for the link mate, but sadly I can't watch it on the i-player (no sound) at the moment as I'm still in Safe Mode
