    About 5 minutes in and Lowri irritating already. I'm surprised, with her superior knowledge of just about anything, she has never opted for home schooling. Imagine how screwed up her kids would be then! Mind you, being in the centre of the ongoing battlefield created by Lowri with their fathers ( and, presumably extended family ) and their schools can't be much fun. Then there's the twins. How much do they know or understand about that situation?

    Hmmmm I agree.

    I don't quite know what it is about Lowri. I can't put put my finger on it, but she just irritates me. I wish I knew what it was.

    Where to start? Well let's face it, you couldn't do it on twitter with only 140 characters!

    I think something I heard on GLR in the early 2000s sums her up. She co-presented a show on Sunday mornings and on this particular day was having a rant about nobody helping her when she was getting into a mess getting her babys pushchair on the bus ( + baby) and at the peak of her rant she shouted down the microphone that it was disgraceful no-one came to her help when she was 'multitasking' at which point her co- presenter said " but not very successfully". The spluttering as she struggled for a comeback had to be heard to be believed.:D

    More of that famous Northern tolerance:

    "A lot of these gay people are nothing but attention seekers".

    Wrighty needed to follow up that bigotry by asking the caller her views on immigration and racial integration.

    He certainly is and Wrighty knows it. Nice to have someone of intelligence on for once, although I do disagree with a lot of Andrews politics.....excellent guest though :)

    Another anti-Daily Mail rant from Wrighty as if a British Right wing leaning newspaper is responsible for all the world's ills.

    His sixth form Lefty-Hippy-simplistic view of the world is hilarious.

    'All the charm of a wig maker's assistant'.

    What a fabulous put down, must try and use that today at some point.

    :D

    Or by recalling the story of the UKIP activist who said that "if we shot a few poofters" they wouldn't be quite so open about their sexuality. :o

    Excellent guest today, I'm going to watch his programme on BBC 2 this week.
    He made a refreshing change from all the usual chavs we have to put up with.

    Jesus! What a cigarette-Nazi Lowri is! Nothing worse than a finger-wagging ex-addict.

    Bobby Davro is dying on his arse, all his 'gags' are being met with stony silence.

    ...and a time machine to transport him back to the 80s.

    Typical Lowri. She knew her argument was deeply flawed but stuck to her guns anyway. After all, Lowri is an ex-smoker so she must be an expert!

    Why does Wrighty think "female columnist" equates to "Intelligent"? In my limited reading of Op Eds it seems the only qualification most have is an over-inflated sense of their own opinion and a working laptop. Intelligence rarely figures otherwise Katie Hopkins would be out of a job double-quick!

    He gives the impression of being incredibly dim. I feel embarrassed for him.

    I ended up feeling sorry for him, he was clearly so out of his depth.

    Matthew couldn't even be bothered to humour him with his usual schoolboy giggle :(

    Cringemaking, his habit of talking only in one liners,even when doing his papers, didn't help either.
    Also talking straight to camera instead of the others, similar to that girl who was a guest a while back, can't remember her name.

    The bloke in the dress was in the front row today. :D

    He was so bad that it almost felt unreal - like a spoof or caricature of an 80s comedian. Absolutely died every time he made a gag - with others not even making an attempt to laugh or giggle at his truly awful one liners. An incredibly dim man whose knowledge about everything was so limited.

    Ironic that Lowri was placed next to him. Must be her worst nightmare - which made it all the more funny!

    Loved the historian, thought Davro was awful and Lowri really pissed me off on the smoking discussion.

    Also something that occurred to me earlier, why don't they use the tweets and texts they receive on-screen? Would it cost that much to use a ticker?

    Well I suppose it's better than falling flat on his face (and leaving a hole in the floor)

    :o What the hell! I was expecting something daft like when he did the belly flop in The Games.
    Not a scene where it looks like he has been killed.

    Now used as a health & safety demonstration video within the television industry. I've had to sit through a couple of showings of it.
    He was actually hospitalised, breaking his nose and jaw. He was lucky to walk away from it as it could have snapped his neck.
    Poor chap.
