Anyone seen this? I'm a fan of Mark Benton because of his excellent portrayal of Eddie in "Early Doors" so I thought I'd give this BBC3 Comedy a go. Some info... Mark Benton plays Sheldon, a homeless man who strikes up an unlikely relationship with Paul, a wheelchair user with cerebral palsy, played by Paul Henshall (best known for his starring role in Holby City).
Paul and Sheldon are both feeling rejected by society and each has something that the other wants – Sheldon offers friendship to Paul who is lonely and despondent while Paul provides Sheldon with a bed for the night, taking him away from the streets where he has been sleeping rough. www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/tv/im_with_stupid/index.shtmlNot brilliant but there are some great lines in there which at times are indeed 'laugh out loud' funny. Could be that this is one of those I like and no other bugger does... such as 'The Smoking Room' - but give it a go and see what you think. N.

I'll give it a try. I won't slag off anything, till I've seen it.
Spotted Steve Edge is in it! (Phoenix Nights!)

Spotted Steve Edge is in it! (Phoenix Nights!) To be honest he ain't all that good in it... but Mark Benton is, so that makes up for it. N.

I watched it toneet - was so-so but a good line in it:
Sheldon tres to set Paul up on a blind date... but he ballses it up and arranges it with a women that apparently he can't stand:
Sheldon: But I've seen you watching her.
Paul: You've seen me watching 'Pingu' too on the television - but that doesn't mean I want to shag it!
;D
I laughed anyhow!

I'm really enjoying it so far. I was hoping they'd make a series after I saw the pilot. Steve Edge is extremely funny ;D
