GeorgeS · 06/09/13 - 22:28

with whom on the panel tonight?

Gulftastic · 06/09/13 - 22:35

I hope there is someone funny on the panel, so that Alan is able to hi-jack their gags with a mime. It's sooo funny when he does that.

Sara Pascoe, Jack Whitehall, David Mitchell, and Alan Davies.

PS, I thought you didn't watch the BBC?

See Wikipedia for the panel members for series K.

Meanwhile, how does 'Two little dickie birds' work??

She suffered a little from The same problem as John Sessions (well, one of his problems). Just because you know the answer you don't have to say it, it's not a real quiz.

At times David's face seemed to be saying "yes, I know that too but we were going somewhere funny then". At other times he seemed to leap in with an answer because otherwise she would have done so again.

Her final score shows she really was trying, even Professor Brian doesn't do that.

TCD1975 · 07/09/13 - 14:36

I thought Sarah was great. The best new guest in ages. I didn't think she was anything like Sessions. Sessions problem isn't that he knows so much, it's that he comes across as smug. Sarah just seemed generally knowledgeable and interesting. There's nothing wrong with that on this show, in fact I wish there were a bit more of it nowadays.

I don't see why she gets a bit of flack for knowing, or being able to guess, some answers whilst Jack gets a free pass for not making any attempt to say something interesting. I actually like Jack in other stuff but all he did last night was make immature smutty (and unfunny) jokes at every opportunity. "That's my kind of woman, let's just say she wouldn't be getting much sleep in my house" or "Oi, front of robin coloured pubes" etc.

I agree, there was none of the smug luvviedom you get when Sessions and Fry are together on this show, Sara just seemed genuinely and refreshingly knowledgeable. I'd rather see her on again than that ventriloquist woman with the Scottish granny puppet - she sends me to sleep.

It was enjoyable as it had two intelligent guests - the ever-dependable David Mitchell and the fantastic debut of Sara Pascoe.

Jack Whitehall will be okay when he realises that he doesn't have to make funnies every time he opens his mouth.

It is the return of Ross Noble next week and more intriguingly Noel Fielding so it should be a little bit left-field.

I think it's actually getting a bit tired now.

Jack Whitehall will never be okay.

Oh great. I assume most of the episode will be hijacked by these two trying to out-random each other with their totally craaaAaAaAaAaAaaaAAAaAazy brands of kooky, surreal, out-there humour.

One good thing about this new series, the first episode anyway, is that Stephen Fry doesn't seem quite as stoned and out of it as he was in the last series. Hopefully he'll stay that way.

Hey there!
