Siobhan is so excruciatingly spot on it hurts. I work in PR and it is utterly dominated by passive/aggressive monsters like her.

[@GayleMI]

I could listen to her all day, but I fear the damage might be permanent.

[@StuartJ]

Only the BBC could make a show that takes the piss out of itself.

[@greg.sym.4115]

NBC kind of did it with 30rock

[@ammorreztristar]

Stuart Johnson Are you serious ? This 'comedy' is absolutely woeful to say the least !

[@romainsavioz5466]

ammorreztristar only your point of view

[@lordstobbo]

@OneUp Brilliant.

[@mchparity]

@@ammorreztristar No, yes absolutely.

[@rosed9628]

Is she improvising? This is amazing :-)

[@mypradasatthecleanerss]

I imagine this was the exact company the BBC gave millions to to move the letters in the logo 2mm further apart and shrink the font size

[@ballyhigh11]

I actually think that was the genesis of this series. Only the BBC would commission a series this meta.

[@kevinng6165]

“Malala whatever” 😂🤣

[@janemorrow6672]

What a brilliant monologue.

[@alanoneill3065]

brilliant performance

[@Georgie-M]

Is this the process Channel 4 used for their rebrand?

[@sniffingbadger]

Okay, here's the thing with this. The thing with this is that her name sounds cool. Siobhan. Irish. English equivalent of Joan. Sounds legit. Totally. So, what if the BBC could change its own name to Irish? RTE, maybe?

[@Mithrasboy]

sniffingbadger Brilliant.

[@pawelekleach]

sniffingbadger Holy shet. I love thes. I so love et.

[@xDJxG0LD3Nx]

Oh yes, very good very strong

[@TomMarrJohnson]

+sniffingbadger Do it again?

[@aidangreen9464]

+Mithrasboy I was gonna say that! #simonharwood #headofstrategicgovernance

[@heathergibson5315]

Brilliant every time..

[@PompeiiProductionsTV]

I LOVE this series!

[@PhotographyDrews]

Strong.

[@RickyLi]

OMG BBC this going to be so #BBC #LOL #OMG Can't wait to hear someone on #DoctorWho say it's #BBC on the inside.

[@rbartynh]

So funny. Brilliant.

[@garyhosty9874]

she is brilliant

[@wibblywobblytimeywimey7042]

Alright, new drinking game, here are the rules. For every time she says Ok, take a shot.

[@irishking1414]

Excellent right so ok then

[@Andi4u]

This is awesome; but they’ve forgot about the pips…

[@dewexdewex]

Totally plausballs.

[@custard_timelord2896]

Yes, no, very clear

[@michaelboylan5308]

Fantastic comedian,,,a great sendup of the fatuous vacuous drivel of rebranding campaigns,,,stream of consciousness cliche,,,,the utter nullity of contemporary language, And the pseudonym,,,cool Irish and the word sharp, Real pseud,

[@bryntownshend6528]

I think bbc has gone on to mean something rather different in slang than 'big, biggest, colossalist'

[@NigelCharlesworth]

I think I worked with her.

[@jjswin]

Priti Patel literally sounds like this

[@PopPrincess714]

whaaaatt?

[@edcola6671]

Beeg Beeg Corporation

[@ballyhigh11]

Are we in the trash can yet cans? No? Ok? yeah totally.I mean...whatever....totally??

[@Ultimate3036]

Jesus... It depresses me that her job exists.

[@guitarlover302]

Unfortunately sat through hours of this crap ! But thank god escaped

[@syedomarnorth2561]

I've stopped watching Dr who because of the BBC's stupidity of sacking Jeremy Clarkson. I hope they go bust!!!!

[@denelson83]

She sounds a bit like a Valley Girl. A Thames Valley Girl.

[@MatthewOnBoard]

There’s an art to saying a lot while saying very little at the same time...

[@Isleofskye]

"Less Is More"

[@Danielevans2]

this sums up so many creative meetings ive had

[@XiluvmelX]

As somebody who works in PR I can say I have met many Siobhans - she is spot on! Yes no very good, very strong.

[@lanccolboy]

Yes exactly yes

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

I don't think I could last long in that environment before I screamed at people

[@simonlumsden1103]

Brilliant.

[@Spooky_32]

From an advertising perspective let’s get the low hanging fruit

[@blotski]

She is absolutely brilliant!

[@chrisw2146]

We need this woman selling nft's and explaining the metaverse

[@Nansen1981]

I loved this series it was soooo spot on.

[@ovvlman]

Too much "ok". Ok?

[@Wastelander121]

ovvlman Okay, cool. Okay? Whatever. Lighten up okay? Whatever okay? Okay.

[@Persephone_]

Okay.

[@alanfurlong-drummer4419]

She is the best ever so funny I could watch all day ha ha genius.

[@GettingintoTV_ThePodcast]

I can not wait for series 2 to begin Plus this show helps to link stuff in to my work about the BBC's structure

[@gileswhitaker9656]

So brilliant...when she said "you could even do another one" (question mark), I just died.

[@itogi]

I have an idea for new logo- replace "two" to "2".

[@paolomargari]

Unfortunately the reality is often worse than this parody.

[@kevinng6165]

Is she reading a promoter or just doing it on the cuff? Bc it’s really impressive either way

[@RadiantFutureRecords]

A promoter gave it to her, but now she is reading it from the promoter but on her cuff.

[@clivehelm4511]

Horribly realistic. And brilliant.

[@Hgames_RBLX]

I wonder if she made the UKTV 2024 rebrand…

[@paparazzi929]

Malala hahahahaha

[@dibleydogy]

Did she re-brand BBC Three?

[@thisistheendpt2]

Is this the bird from SPACED?

[@qenbered5762]

Trying too hard to sound cool!

[@hakimi_AH]

every month this gets more accurate

[@SammyTheSituation]

This whole show is hilarious! It's literally a communication mess...

[@beckf1858]

"The raccoon is already in the trash can..." Siobhan is brilliant.

[@t123a698]

I always find this scene very unsettling.

[@BethEffortless]

"The racoon is already in the trash can" - no further comment 😂

[@eightiesboy]

beeeeeee.....beeeeeee....GENIUS

[@jontiways]

Cant tell if this is serious or not..

[@kayekretz6806]

WHAT. THE ?

[@bellalee27]

jontiways It's not

[@NatalieNMusic]

I'm not sure as well

[@Mithrasboy]

jontiways I have a horrible feeling this is happening in the boardrooms of corporate Britain right now.

[@janosk8392]

Sign of a good performànce.

[@allisonday893]

She reminds me of Chris Lilleys character Jaime

[@darphbobo4971]

So is she the new head of BBC Three or 11! or whatever it's gonna be called now before it's closed down completely?

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]

So funny.

[@clemdane]

Slam dunkier

[@TrysilBoy]

Brilliant.......very strong! ;-)

[@ericcartmansh]

amazing

[@maurosilva3366]

Brilliant

[@Beechgoose1]

BBC? Like, yknow what that means NOW, yeah? Y'get me?

[@goodbadugly654]

Laugh, but these people exist!

[@mikeyk212]

All of these people in the one place would be hell. Dono if hell would be big enough though. When there down there they would probably start 're branding Hell.

[@AKASANJEEWA]

Um familiar with this annoying type who talk too much about nothing. Nice job. Spot on.

[@iancrause1856]

malarlar

[@mikeyk212]

I'm well upside this.

[@davidfisher3684]

Oh, it's a spoof? I thought that it was one of their 'hard-hitting' documentaries!

[@michaelgerhardt7130]

Im so late to the party but it doesnt look like the same girl from the Royale Family

[@mathieuleader8601]

if the BBC takes the advice of the company like this god help us

[@WibblyPigNZ]

I found Series 2 increasingly laboured and reliant on what are essentially catchphrases and broad stereotypes. I wonder whether a third series is a good idea.

[@allana7143]

Watched it tonight for the first time and didn't even chuckle once. It may be just a personal taste thing but it must be the most UNFUNNY 'comedy' I have ever seen and such a shame that so many established' celebrities' have lost some credibility with involvement in such a show. I hate it yes, no, definitely, cool - what do I mean?

[@jakeman3755]

That personality is why I don't care for Brit comedy. It insists on itself.

[@randomguy4820]

Hard work to watch and the humour is lame. Unfunny posh people. Only interesting if you work for the BBC.

[@lewiscopland4568]

Roger Rams It's hilarious if you've ever worked in marketing, PR or graphic design.

[@pieman3007]

Or any office in the country...not especially "posh", just pretensious people are universal.

[@randomguy4820]

@@pieman3007 I stand corrected!

[@randomguy4820]

@@pieman3007 I love Harry Enfield, SNL in 70's and 90's, The day to day and Alan Partridge, oh and Reeves And Mortimer, yes a lot of it Cringy, not really into a lot of the modern comedy but like Lee Evans. What's your favourite comedy series?
