The fact that Kaye has done literally nothing of note since Phoenix Nights just emphasises how important Neil Fitzmaurice and Dave Spikey were to his career. Once Kaye's ego took over and he binned the talent, the quality of his work dropped like the FTSE in the last two weeks. Max and Paddy was awful and the re-hashed DVD he released plumbed new depths. That thing last night was attrocious. A fire in an orphanage would have produced more laughs. It was only his reputation that convinced a TV station to stump up that amount of money to produce and broadcast the drivel that ITV broadcast from 8pm last night.
