This series has sucked shit compared to the first. A case of great ideas and no funny script to back them up.

Its not been as good, but its still worth watching.

I think one big problem is that the first lot was new, and people did not know who he was and what he did. But they now know who he is when he goes up to them.

Its a bit like the BBC2 show some time back, which a ginger haired chap who used to interview people but at the same time insult them. It was very funney, but when the selebs knew who he was, it died.

That would have been Dennis Pennis.
Same fate was met by Ali G, although he did get a movie out of it.
Best line in that was one of the deleted scenes in the House of Commons where he turns and faces an MP and says;
"Ey I know you, you got bummed by a ratsa on Clapham common. Rispek"

You could call it 'shock' humor.

Its great at the time, but it needs to change or it dies.

You could list tons of shows like that.....

I tell you who does suck bad is Ben Elton. He was on the Terry and thingy show one morning (CH5 - if you have not seen it, watch it - its great). He was trying to tell jokes, and you could tell people just felt emarresed how bad he was. Yet the fool still tried to bang out more jokes - all bad. He sucks.

Like a toothless whore indeed.
He was funny back in the 80's when I was a lad & he had a weird mullet.
Little bit o' politics used to be amusing but the smug slag sold out.
all those anarchic comments and anti-royal/establishment rants and now he rubs knob with them.
Slack jawed sell out.

He just aint funney.

To say he wrote some of the best shows on TV, and he was funney at one time, he just is no longer. Maby as he has now cash he has lost that 'need' to create.

I am not a book person, but I wonder if anyone thinks he books are any good.

Oh well not nice to go on about him.

Les Denis was hosting the Terry and gabie show this week as Terry Wogan was on holiday or ill.

I wonder if Les Denis known that he has no talent and that the fact that he lasted in Family Fortunes as long as he did, was just luck.

Thats another point, how come TV shows now employ these talenless twits. The chap who replaced Les Dennis is even worse than Les!!!!

To think that you used to have the likes of Max Bigraves presenting shows. These days its any old twit. I bet many people could not even name them.

ITV's 'This Morning' is hosted by some fat bird who goty her dull boyfriend a cooking job on the show (and your not telling me he is not sleeping with some hot chick behind fattys back) and the chap who used to present BBC childrens shows.

If I ran a TV channel I would put more repeats of classic TV shows on (like CH5 is doing). Bring back the A team, Jukes of Hazards, Rising Damp, Chips.......
