Did anybody else think "The Swan" was a deeply sad programme? frown Taking advantage of people who clearly have deep-seated issues for cheap tv is pretty fking low.
has Franky Boyle been on it 2 weeks running now? not that im complaining, he is one funny bloke, "who ran away from 3 houses.... a litle pig?"
I have noticed that the 'Quiz Coms' have been struggling for guests recently and some people have become regulars people like Reginald D Hunter, Frank Skinner and Frankie Boyle.

I think there are just too many 'quiz coms' to keep having fresh guests.

Finally saw this for the first time last night and loved it; spent a good few hours in the wee hours of the morning catching up on all 5 episodes on 4od. Quality seems to depend a lot on who the three guests are, but Charlie Brooker is solid with fantastic wit and put-downs thumbup

Who is that josie bird on tonights show then?
She's a comedian. And one of Charlies good mates. She's pretty funny, good live too.

I think that based purely on her appearance in the show, she deserves a place in this thread > http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

...however, don't do what I did and google image her, as the results are not good.

Tonights episode was superb.

Had me laughing out loud on a number of occasions, the bit about Danny Dyer quitting TV presenting becasue of what Charly and Frankie said about him a few weeks ago was one of the best TV moments in years.

Just brilliant.

Yes I would have agreed with you whole heartedly... until tonight's episode with guests:

1. Phil - funnier on buzzcocks - jupitus
2. Spindley armed, student look'a'like gimp (I bet he wears cardigans smash )
3. Nasally voiced, attitude ridden bint

shame.

I quite like the bird. Not as good as Josie or Gernaine Greer were but she's been ok.

Phil is meh.

That other guy is a waste of a chair. Weakest in the series.

She's called Victoria Coren, and presents a baffling quiz called Only Connect on BBC4. I find her quite attractive, but her voice would probably grate eventually. When Charlie Brooker did Screenwipe she also presented a two minute part of a false program called A History of Corners which is here if you'd like to see it.

That bland guy who spent too long on his 'do' is a waste of a guest. Shame, let's hope we don't see him again.

I think Vicky Coren is quite a good poker player

I've seen her in the flesh. She's much better in 3D.

I have been enjoying the new series, particularly Charlie losing his rag at the beginning of episode 6. Ep5 is good too, as the theme is 'bds'. clicky
