The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

I had never heard of them before this morning, but it didn't sound like a barrel of laughs when they said they did some property programmes.

I'd love Ross Noble on too - but I don't think he'd be Chris' cup of tea. He seems to prefer more gag-comics like Jimmy Carr and Peter Kay. He doesn't 'get' The Mighty Boosh and I think Ross Noble seems to fit into that same kind of 'random' category.
I'd love him to prove me wrong though!

As for other ideal guests - Robin Williams, Brian Blessed, William Shatner.

Why, oh why?! I was having a conversation with my sister about him the other day, it went something similar to this..

Sister: I really like Hugh Grant
Me: Tell me you're * kidding.
Sister: I love him!
Me: He plays Hugh Grant in every sodding movie.
Sister: Oh, but I just love him!

See, brilliant reasoning there as to why she 'loves him'.

He's not even a very good actor; Britain has produced a ton of better actors than him (David Jason, John Simm, Paul McGann, Hugh Laurie, Jim Broadbent, Philip Glenister... I could go on.) He's been in some reasonable films, but the only person who really rates him as an actor would appear to be Richard Curtis.

Robin Williams I love, but did I dream it, or does at least one of the team absolutely loath him? I may be making this up but it kind of rings a bell somewhere.

Brian Blessed - oh please no. Someone needs to tell him that after a few seconds, simply shouting a lot and talking rubbish over everyone else really doesn't constitute entertainment.

William Shatner was on recently wasn't he? Or am I imagining that as well? I remember it as being very funny, so I hope not.

Dom did an interview with him and he was fantastic (ShatNav etc). He's not been in the studio for a proper team-interview though.

Maybe with George Takei being in the jungle it would be an excuse to get Shatner on.

Not forgetting Shatner Pants, which is not actually anything to do with him being on the show, but it was still very funny.

I think it would be a very entertaining show if they got Piers Morgan on. I'm not fond of Piers but it would be a very enjoyable show.

James Whale. I'd love to hear James Whale on the show. They must have loads they could talk about.

I agree with Williams, Blessed and Shatner. Ross Noble - I like him, but I don't rate him as highly as some of my mates do. Not sure why. The Mighty Boosh is simply not funny. I imagine you need to be out your tits on some mind altering substence to enjoy that show.

It does. His episode of Have I Got News For You was spectacular.

Shatner and Takei don't talk to each other - some sorta falling out years ago.

Are you saying this to antagonise me? If so, it worked. Well done. While I agree that it would be entertaining to listen to Moyles slate the shit out of Morgan, the fact that by letting him on his show gives him more time on the air. Morgan should be in prison - not fannying about being a 'celebrity'. Arse wank that he is.
