''Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive'' is a British television show, first aired on BBC Three in July 2006. Devised by Paul Duddridge, it concerns the making of a comedy panel game show called ''Annually Retentive'', themed around historical events, and hosted by Welsh comedian Rob Brydon. The show is deliberately parodic, as Brydon plays a hyper-realised (and exaggeratedly nasty) version of himself, while the game show blatantly steals ideas from other, similar shows such as ''Have I Got News For You'', ''Never Mind the Buzzcocks'', ''Mock The Week'' and ''QI''. == Format == Its show-within-a-show format is reminiscent of ''The Larry Sanders Show'' which explored the blurring of reality and fantasy except with the focus of a talk show as opposed to a panel game. The show cuts between fictionalised scenes that see Brydon and the producers making the panel game, and scenes from the game show itself. These latter segments were filmed in full, as if ''Annually Retentive'' were a real show, in front of live audiences at BBC Television Centre who, initially, were not made aware of its intentionally derivative and uninspired nature. A good portion of the game show segments were scripted; however, the panellists were allowed to 'play out' the game as if it were real, and occasionally improvise.〔(Dave Gorman's blog ), entries for 7 and 9 March〕 The two team captains are Dave Gorman and Jane Moore. Each episode was made available to UK viewers to watch on the BBC Three website a week before it aired. A second series began airing on Monday 30 April 2007 at 10.30pm; the 'gameshow' portion was filmed on the 11th and 12th of January 2007. The first series has been released on DVD. The second series was released on 23 November 2009.〔(Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive Box Set - ''Play.com'' )〕 The theme tune used is "Reelin' In the Years" by Steely Dan, though on the DVD release the song is replaced with an original piece. Dave Gorman stated in 2008 that a third series of the show is doubtful.〔(Dave Gorman's blog (see comments) )〕 In November 2009, Rob Brydon stated "Never, but you can buy the second series soon" when asked by a Twitter follower when the series would return.〔(Twitter )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
