It would appear that despite the popularity and hype for the new series of Bo Selecta amongst Britain's youth, the show has proved to be a bit of a ratings flop.  Bo Selecta, a cult classic among people who probably know what "bling" means, has been thrashed in the ratings by old-school stand-up Jim Davidson; who is popular amongst people who know both what "BNP" and "Stana Stair-lift" means.

Avid Merrion and friends totted up a total of 2.6 million viewers on Channel 4 on Friday night, a small patch on the 4 million that Davidson notched up.  Here at Funny.co.uk we're not particularly big fans of Bo Selecta, but to be strung-up and roundly thrashed by Jim Davidson, has the world gone mad? - (to cut'n'paste a headline from the Daily Mail website.... )

You can see our review of the first episode in Jim Davidson's new series HERE, which was recorded in Llandudno, North Wales.  We should point out that, here in the Funny.co.uk news room, we were reviewing the show as it went out on Friday, and as such had two television sets on.  This may have skewed the ratings figures somewhat.  We can't apologise enough.
