Did anyone happen to catch this a few weeks ago? I read an interview with Julia Davis in the Observer and had meant to watch this when it was on, or at least iplayer it, but missed it, so ended up downloading it through iTunes.
Anyway, good god. It's hilarious. I won't give too much away, but if you like Jessica Hynes (Spaced) or Julia Davis (Nighty Night / Human Remains), you owe this to yourself. Deeply sick, actually pretty horrifying in parts, but one of the best half hours of comedy I've seen in some time.
Treat yourselves.

It was very good
and black as pitch. They made a good pairing and should consider working together more often.
Am I the only one that really thinks Julia Davis is really quite sexy in an unhinged-serial-killer type way?
You're not the only one.
She's lovely. If you see her sans comedy outfits, she's very attractive.
I have to check this out
Nighty Night is my favourite comedy ever.
The heading
suggested this was a thread about Phil Lynott
Missed it. Gutted.
I love both Jessica and Julia, they are entirely fabulous.
It's only £2 on iTunes.
That's what I did.
Gaaaah
I can't get on with iTunes. I've tried, I really have, but everytime I've installed it, it's ballsed up the laptop and my iPod, so I've given up.
I really hate the fact that you can't buy from the iTunes store without downloading iTunes (or am I missing something?)
I absolutely love technology (and have a degree in computers!) but I just can't get on with iTunes. My loss, I know :-(
It was a corker
It will never be commissioned as a full-on series, as it made Nighty Night look like Play School, but brilliant all the same.
You Tube
Just watched it on there, isn't that copyright infringement or doesn't the BBC care.
Really?
Well, that's as good a sign as any that the Beeb has no intention of commissioning the series.
There you go though, Hannah.
Very dark
Don't know if I'd use the word 'hilarious' but it was an entertaining half-hour. One of those programmes where you can barely cope with the awful humiliations the main characters undergo. I think I'd have preferred it if it hadn't descended into carnage - a whole load of great characters (and actors too) were written out in a flurry of bullets and blood, which was fine but seemed a little too straightforward and can't have helped them get a series commissioned.
