Being a student, i am a regular viewer, find it quite addictive. Has anyone noticed the same audience members seem to crop up, do they get season tickets or something. That bald guy in particular they cut to a lot (how sad am i i've noticed that:o)
I HATE some of the panelists. Carol Malone, Dominic Holland, Lowri Turner, David Van Day and Anne Diamond are all unwatchable. Anne Diamond in particular, banging on about "Britain becoming like Big Brother" etc. while at the same time demanding video games be banned....
Plus, i really have to question some people's decision on being a panelist. People like Angelica clearly have no clue about current affairs, so pick another show to plug whatever it is you're plugging!
I like Kaye Adams, Terry Christian and anyone rational really, who don't use the phrase "PC gone mad."
Dominic Holland even uttered the phrase "if this were a straight couple there'd be no fuss.." in regards to the Jan Moir article, and i sensed some awkwardness when he said something about the guest being Jewish the other day.
But what is the point in that guy in the audience, they rarely cut to him. Anyone else a fan?

Is Martina Hingis on this week or is it a myth?
I haven't heard that. They do bring on a lot of the same faces, i've often wondered if they struggle. Big committment of a week, not a lot of opportunity to plug, strong chance of alienating some of your fanbase or coming off thick and you might have to spend a week with Carol Malone.
I agree about Terry Christian, he can be a bit tiring, and he's hit and miss.
He gets the same guests in all the time. Yasmin Alibhai-Brown's got a flippin' season ticket. And what's with the same people in the audience all the time?
Also he likes to criticise Jeremy Kyle for being low-brow but discusses topics like "Ladies: Does Size Matter?"
He used to do it quite often , and has been criticized in the past [most notably on these pages] for doing so . I have noticed though since they came back from the summer break it's not happened yet - although he looks like he's been tempted once or twice it looks like he's a lot calmer about things lately .
Rula Lenska?
Nothing wrong with being blatantly gay. He's also a Conservative and talks a lot about his political views. Apparently, Dr Bull is known to be gay privately but doesn't make much of an issue about it. Whether that's because of his politics, I don't know. It's not supposed to be an issue these days, even in the Conservatives.

yes, but not openly. ive met david on a few occasions and have also have had the pleasure of seeing what many have not. i live in brighton and david has just bought a flat slap bang in the town centre. i also have seen him i G-A-Y And revenge in brighton, in many a compromising posistion!. that said he's a really nice guy, is passionate about his work, politics etc and alougth is not open about his sexuality i can understand why he doesnt want the public attention , also i think to most - its pretty damn obvious! dave lets say isnt the paticulary butch and has a very camp persona
Perhaps his medication's kicked in.:D
I don't like the new format they've had since their Summer break, having a natter and then taking upto 25 minutes and an ad-break before they start the Paper review.
Yawn. Find me the quote where i demand Holland be banned from the show. For me, you can't excuse calling civil partnerships nonsense and calling that Moir article political correctness gone mad as being right wing, it's old fashion ignorance and idiocy (remember, he wasn't even calling gay marriage nonsense, which as a catholic you could have some defense for). I wonder if he came on and said interracial couples getting married was nonsense you'd defend his views as right wing.
I don't mind right wing panelists being on the show, brings variety and debate, especially if its someone as classically right leaning as Carol Thatcher. I remember on the "devil children case" her response was basically "lock them up and throw away the key" and the guy next to her completely shot that view down as misjudged rubbish (don't want to get into a debate on that btw.)
I never said there was thank you!
I do think phone callers that disagree with him are usually hushed up fast or scrutinized to a point where they fall apart on live TV, but as the guy is usually fairly rational and undecided in his views (except on his breeding stuff, he spews absolute crap on that), the kind of caller that is disagreeing with him are "PC gone mad" types. Not always, but the callers very often don't seem to have a clear idea of what they're saying and a couple questions in will be backtracking. For a presenter doing a debate show, that must get frustrating after a while.
Matthew has never been particularly tolerant of other people's viewpoints; he may think it's an amusing tactic and granted the occasional caller can be rather 'eccentric' but there are many with relevant comments who just get cut off mid-sentence.
I think the format has become a bit of a mess these days - far too much chatter, paper reviewing and intros, leaving them with barely ten minutes per topic. They should make more time for the discussions.
I agree, Tracy has been an excellent panelist this week, I would like her to be on more often, she talks sense.
Rehash using next days newspaper headlines ad infinitum
