It's Jinsy Week!
Tonight sees the inaugural broadcast of This Is Jinsy on BBC Three. It's the pilot episode of a show quite unlike anything humanity has seen before, so remember to tune in at 9.30pm to experience it for yourself.
To mark the occasion, we're celebrating Jinsy Week on the Comedy Blog, with a new report from the island every day by Jesric Underdone. Look! Here he is now:
Jinsy Report #1 by Jesric Underdone
DAILY GREET!
It's a busy time on the island this week with a multitude of fascinating events taking place to celebrate 40 cycles of interference by our esteemed governor, The Great He (Jinsy Praise Him!).
This includes the Underwater Clothes Swap, in which the elderly get a chance to try out each other's garments, whilst submerged in Kerripul's Pond. Today's swap includes the recently reinstated Wet Cardigan Contest.
And of course there's the Tea-athlon, won for the past three cycles by Mrs Duvin-Ponz (Civviers Parish), a woman who, according to The Jinsy Island Informerant has a mouth that could 'suck a biscuit through a hosepipe'. The day ends, as usual, with Mr Voadin's 'cart in a bottle' trick. How does he do it?
Keep an eye on your tesselator tomorrow for another Jinsy Report.

Well I loved it. So much so, I wouldn't mind living there.
Hope this isn't just a pilot...lots more please. Some gentle escapism isn't a bad thing.

Wow, a cross between Monty Python, Little Britain and the Prisoner. Plus it felt like the Isle of Wight so very scary all round! Surely the tesselator had a starrring role in the Prisoner? The gulls with faces were reminiscent of both harpies and an Agatha Christie book cover and were very spooky. And I loved the fact that it was played straight - more Python than LB. When's the whole series due - I want to see more of Sporrall, Maven and Mr Cooshay and his pelch?

I thought it was brilliant! and stupid in the best possible way
I'd love to see how it develops, was maven the one in the suit? brilliantly deadpan and sporrall (if that's the other) was like kenneth williams playing pontius pilate
I also wanted to see more of Mr Cooshay - I reckon he's got secrets!! dark, grubby secrets!!!
thank you all

I loved this and so did my boys - fresh, quirky, funny. Lots more please!

Fantastic. Loved it. A bit Monty. A bit Boosh. Better cinematography than both. Understated, witty, clever. Does what the BBC should be doing.
As above - more please

Ditto. Wonderfully refreshingly bonkers. Just what the doc ordered.
More please. Pretty please?

Nearly missed this one; had not BBC Channel Islands done a po-faced report. Where were all the previews and adverts? Too many people who would have liked this have missed out. Bad news that we hear a series has not been commissioned. Is there ANY possibility those in control could review their decision?
