Just watching the latest and DMC needs her teeth knocking out. How annoying. I think it’d be a reasonable show to watch without the witch cackling.
yep, got so hacked off with her in the latest I fired their viewer relations department an email saying get rid of her in desperation

A strongly worded email?! That’s a step too far!

Agreed with other comments, enjoy the show but DMC is spoiling it. Liked her in Taskmaster, but wayy OTT in this.

Quite possibly the worst episode yet from a DMC point of view, not just shrieking and cackling but now doing an extended "creaking" noise with a high-pitched scream in lieu of a laugh... and then ending it with a maniacal laugh.

And the dancing, eye bleach material.

Truly awful.

Edit: I don't really do twitter but I was curious and searched "Buzzcocks" - wow, she's not getting any new fans on the back of this.

It just doesn't work. Besides DMC being a massive , the rest of the panel seem to be the same rehashed lame comedians that tour panel shows . There was an undeniable coolness about the OG, now it feels like something you'd watch on Dave.

It also looks like they shot the whole series on one day.

A lot of shows are filmed like that, if there is no need to be topical on current affairs. Countdown shoot five shows a day.

What I don't get is that when they filmed the first one nobody went "Whoah Daisy, WTF is that weird laughing and general bellendary about? Are you OK? Have you had too many sweets or something? Tone it down a bit please love".

Just when shes got a new book coming out, oh what a shame roflevil
[awareness of said book is only because of someone worthwhile posting that DMC desperately asked her to promote it by sending a copy of the book including a £5 note]

Holy crap. Just watching the latest, she’s got to be being paid to do it. No one is like that surely.

The rest is good. Bez and Shaun are generally a bit of a laugh.

The recurring joke where Greg fails to read something without laughing is getting really tired

I see she's on the Christmas special, hopefully it was filmed at the same time as the series rather than after the world expressed their disappointment.

Wasn’t bad - the guess the song round was ruined by DMC being a cock though.

Holly - legend

Grange Hill cast - interesting

The excessive shrieking wasn't as bad as it has been, it would still have been a far better show without her though.

Good to see Holly is alive, for some reason I had him down as a bit of a diva that would consider a panel show beneath him (I haven't seen much of him since his prime so have nothing to base this on really) but he came across as a decent bloke.

It was really interesting to see the Grange Hill cast again, odd not to have Greg abusing Mrs McCluskey like he does in Man Down though.



Just say no kids.

It's back for series 2, episode 1 appeared on my Sky box from a showing at 2am this morning, Daisy May Cooper is still there for some bizarre reason that I can only presume is linked to a contract rather than a demand to see her. Read the room Sky.

10 episodes, I've not watched it yet but fear the worst unless she's somehow managed to get off whatever it was she's on and actually read what people were saying on twitter etc and realised she wasn't doing herself, or the show, any favours.

They've also stuck with the "spare Jamali Maddix" concept in lieu of more proper guests.

On the plus side I think Saffron from Republica is one of the guests but then so is Nile Rogers so it's swings and roundabouts.

I was hoping they'd have a rethink.

Going with the Dave comedy crew was always going to be its downfall.
