I saw it tonight. Although I find Paul Mertron a funny guy, I think he's better with the more "off-the-cuff interjections" and not so much reading from an autocue.

[StaticFish]

I totaly agree with you there,
merton is a wasted talent as a host

and what was with the glasses?

[Uglybob]

yeah the glasses looked a bit crap although ross noble might come in if hislop or merton is ever sick of it. its evident that Hislop and Merton didnt really like Deayton. I think that Johnny Vaughn wouldnt be much liked either so he would be the most foolproof choice.

[gregs]

i'd like to see david baddiel try it....

[Chief Erf]

i think those were reading glasses so he could read the autocue.

[Gordon_the_Cromag]

paul merton makes the show what it is in my view, I think stephen fry would be the best choice

He is short sighted, he said on the show once.

[StaticFish]

ahh. I just thought he was taking the mick of angus

Paul Merton is hilarious, his sarcasm is soo funny sometimes!!

[Nor]

Ross Noble isn't that funny most of the time, my heart sank when i realised he was on for the 2nd week running. Its the type of totally bizzare 'out there' humour that I just think has been overdone lately. It was funny to start with but just starts to get irksome as time goes on.

He wasn't too bad on the show that being said, much better than he was the week previously. Show all in all was good, should be better next week with Anne Robinson in the chair.

[Sidders]

Rich Hall is absolutely hilarious, I love it when he's on the show.

[Chief Erf]

Rich didnt do much this time, he likes to have a battle of the minds with Paul when hes on, but he couldnt this week because paul couldnt be as spontaneus as usual.

[Uglybob]

Rich Hall is one of a very few kind. An american thats genuinely funny.

[MK Chris]

Totally agree. Yanks don't get the irony of British humour at all, it's lost on them. I'd love to sit and watch Dog Soldiers with an American...

[Lawrie]

i still think John Sergent would be ideal on it

Mr Vaughan.... a bit wierd

[Adam]

Who was the Comedien Bloke with a face like its just met the nearest wall on Have I got news for you the other night???

[Uglybob]

ross noble presumably

[Adam]

ahh- yes.. is that him?

or did they just catch him on a bad day. he looks like he's taking something or this comedy stardom is getting to him....

[magenta]

Ross Noble is so f*cking funny.

Also -I would.

[Adam]

i would what, magenta?

[Lawrie]

anyone see adverts for Peter Kayes tour in all the Sunday papers today...with Sold out over the whole advert..which begs the question..if the tour is sold out..why bother with a advert?

[Adam]

bolton is such a cool town...

[magenta]

I would - have intercourse with Ross Noble, Adam.

DRLOZ - Because they had already placed the ad ages ago, so the papers had nothing to put in it's place therefore had to run it anyway. It also informs those who are still ringing for tickets that they CAN'T get them.

Nah, I dunno.

[Adam]

ahhh, but you can...

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

bolton is such a cool town...

yeah its rockin bolton its got everything you would ever need except maybe an aldi to add a touch of class....
