I don’t really know what a Funny Fortnight is, but between Toast of London and the Charlie Brooker detective-spoof show Touch of Cloth, I guess I’m in favor of it, whatever it is.  It’s kind of weird watching a spoof show that’s 45 minutes instead of 15 minutes, though— the Adult Swim shows have really made a case for the perfect length of a spoof show being 15 minutes.  Touch of Cloth feels much slower by comparison— probably doesn’t benefit by that comparison.  Still: some funny stuff in there; made me laugh.
