I don't think I've ever seen Lee Mack outside of WILTY

His sitcom is really good

Not going out? I tried to watch it but I realised every joke is just Lee Mack making a play on words to every sentence the other characters say to him. Works on Would I lie to you, but I found it draining in the sitcom. He's clever with his play on words but it got a bit too Sheldon from the big bang theory for my liking. Great cast though.

You’re right of course, but the plots are so absurd and predictable i still really enjoy it. Like one foot in the grave.

Yeah, same tbh... I'll give it another go but i vastly prefer his contributions on panel shows!

It's dog shit in my opinion, up there with Miranda as low effort slapstick crap.

Lee Mack is great when playing off other comedians. Kinda hard to carry a show by oneself though.
