I love listening to the podcasts from his Absolute radio show. He is x100 funnier adlibbing than following a script on a tv show.
This is spot on, and why ‘Unplanned’ was probably the best thing he’s ever done on TV.
His Absolute Radio show/podcasts are excellent, but that’s because, as you say, he’s at his best when he’s just adlibbing, the more he’s required to stick to a format or script the less funny he is.
Yeah, I'm not sure about this. The point of Room 101 (which was orginally on radio) was to actually find out more about the person in a more humourous way, like an interview with a spin
I'm with Danny on the 'panal show' with D-list comedians though...
Robert Webb really has a bee in his bonnet about Jeremy Kyle. :eek: I thought the ranting made him look a bit foolish, even though JK did go into Room 101.

I agree.
Robert Webb's faux outraged, high-pitched voice is more than a little irritating.
Guests used to only appear once on Room 101 (I believe).
Will this new format mean that we have another panel show that Sarah Millican can appear on every other week?
yeah John Bishop as well lol
I do like this new format as well it will depend of the three that are chosen for cross chat
Tell you what winds me up about TV ... Fren Britton - stick her in there
Hear hear..she's irritating at best of times and just awful tonight! I actually don't mind the change of format but as with all these shows it depends on quality and rapport of the panel. Tonight's isn't exactly setting the heather alight

Hence, the alteration to the successful formula.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Is it because your fave comic wasn't on GP
