Come on, own up, who told Roisin Conaty she's funny or has any talent ?

I dunno, but I find her quite attractive so I will let her off

Thanks to the unique way the BBC have decided to patronise women, being funny or talented is no longer necessary for a semi-regular gig on panel shows and a 3rd rate Radio 4 'comedy' vehicle.

Not just the BBC.

She was just as dire and unfunny on 8 out of 10 Cats last night.

They seem to be adopting a format of 1 comedy person and 1 politician each week. Not sure that really works, the odd politician is amusing, Boris is great for a laugh and William Rees Mogg is very funny but most are dull as st.

Hope this doesn't continue.

Yep - Sadiq Khan was pants. And Roisin wasn't great either. Not one of the better HIGNFY episodes in my opinion.

He made for a pretty good punchbag, and a foil for Corbyn-damning.

Some counter-evidence to the 'BBC is lefty biased' viewpoint as repeated ad nauseam in this forum and earlier in this thread...

Yeah... because everyone on the left loves Corbyn?

They probably do.

What's that got to do with Labour though?

Someone must, despite their best attempts to gerrymander the vote, he STILL won.

A bit worrying, though, for any English person who isn't deluded by Tory lies...

I fear we may be stuck with the porcine-necrophiliacs for the rest of my life..

I can't say Roisin-whatserface does anything for me. She looks like the bloke with big teeth on Mock the Week in a wig, but isn't quarter as funny and her chav laugh would set my teeth on edge even if it was coming out of Monica Bellucchi!

Well I quite enjoyed it and I thought she came over as well read and informed.

And in the interest of a bit of gender balance, what was Paul Merton wearing? That shirt with THAT jacket.......

He has been slightly less funny since his death 3 years ago

I believe you are thinking of Jacob.

Still funnier than Roisin Conaty.

She does the same thing all the time; she makes some attempt at humour, then bursts out laughing at her own "joke" in the vain hope that others will join in.

But it's all to do with the raise in recent years of the unfunny comedian. The TV is full no-talent ass-clown "comedians" that appear to be labouring under the impression that they are even remotely funny.

Jacob Rees Mogg cracks me up.

There was a documentary on a year or two ago about parliament where he said other MPs refer to him as The Honourable member for the early 20th century.

Yes, saw that, but wasn't it the "18th century"?

Was good in Man Down IMO.

[Halb]

Watched it. Decent episode, but not great. The woman and the MP were both limp...that Mayor candidate...christ, what a wet rag.

Perkins wasn't as annoying as normal, and it was interesting how she perked up on the GoT question.
Hislop as usual, best thing on the show.

Oh yeah. Stupid boy 944.

He is funny though.

You may be right there. I also thought it was the 18th and then checked with google and it came up with a quote about the last 20th.
