They had JudyMurray pretty bang on. Ralf nailed it: she's the pole.

I used to enjoy this but it's run it's course now, you can clearly see the scripted parts. Just like Big brother first two series were good then everyone realises they can make a name for themselves.

Witty comments by families watching the box are scripted by producers, says the cast member.

The telly watchers are also allegedly warned in ­advance about which scenes to be “shocked about”.

And each Channel 4 show is filmed on just one night with participants watching hours of back-to-back recordings.
That would explain the massive amount of takeaway the two black women have

They've been showing more of the serious stuff this series.

The reaction both physical and facial of Steph and Dom to the news item about the pill to stop you wanting alcohol! That's paid for my TV licence for next year.

I'm sorry, but I'm a bit puerile - so I wet myself when Big Sandra farted. She looks the sort of girl who'd really go to town when she did something like that. A minor tsuname.

Sandy didn't find it funny.

Steph's impersonation of the Downton Abbey scene was pretty funny too.

Did no one watch the stand up to cancer special?
While the celebs (with the exception of Paul and Kathy) were trying too hard it was a funny episode....

Except the 2 cancer stories they showed which were heartbreaking frown

Thus has lost it's comedic value now. They're trying to cover serious issue's in the programme and it doesn't work.

I was going to agree with this last night but forgot.

Covering heavy news items just isn't entertaining.

Yes.


Also there is an element of them saying what they expect people to say when talking about these things. They stay on message.

Oh I dunno - it does at least save me the trouble of watching Cowell TV by summarizing what toss it is...

The Steff and Dom act from Sandwich are comedy gold - hope they're not just reading from a script...
