    You forgot to add the fact that she has nice puppies too :D

    Oh yes, "nice smile" and "nice puppies" (neither of which I agree with, maybe "nice puppies" in the 90s but I think the two kids since have ruined them now!) :)

    IThe Gadget section is always good for a laugh and guaranteed to end in disaster as the gadget presenters know nothing about the products they are presenting. They really are woefully under-prepared, it's no surprise Tim gets annoyed with them - the section is usually a total embarrassment every week.

    Talking of the gadgets, I can see the idea of the bottle filter thingy, but I thought we weren't suppoesd to reuse bottles too many times - they degrade and leak carcinogens or something don't they?

    Well, I'd have to inspect them close-up just to make sure ;)

    I quite like the football banter between Tim and Simon though - I'm a Chelsea fan so maybe I'm biased. :)

    I hate football so I always love it when they lose, just so I know Tim will be annoyed the next day when he's presenting the show :D

    I was hoping that Man Utd would win the league by just ONE point, just to really stick in his craw, but it didn't happen.

    Unfortunately for you that doesn't happen very often! :) Whereas it's a fairly common result for Liverpool, so watching Tim ask Simon how Liverpool got on is always quite amusing.

    Perhaps they should mandate that the next female presenter (preferably with a brain) should be a Man United fan so Tim can gloat even more... :)

    The cooking element of this show is absolutely dire. Today's pork omelette thingy looked like vomit!

    Nobody every pays much attention to what Simon Rimmer is doing, which clearly annoys him, and there's too much inane chatter from Lovejoy. I often find myself thinking what they attempt to make could be bought from the shops for an awful lot less bother and would probably taste a whole lot better to boot! Life is just too short to make you own jaffa cakes etc!

    The 'let's make a cocktail' section' is also a complete waste of time. I mean, who really has all these obscure bottles of liquer and alcohol lying in a cupboard at home? Poor Wayne is left to prattle on while Lovejoy and Redknapp generaly blank him and have their own little private conversations, and then Louise pronounces everything she is given to drink as 'gorgeous' Aaargh! They would be just as well showing the same cocktail make every week. It never really strays from that.

    This show is so past it's sell by date it really should be taken off the shelf and binned.

    It's the modern TV disease, the "format". Every episode like every other episode.

    My guess is the show is aimed at a broad cross section of society, some with young families that might enjoy cooking together in the kitchen on a Sunday afternoon.

    Not every section of the show is aimed at your particular lifestyle, you know! :)

    Not a big fan of Louise on this show (much preferred Amanda) and thought that she was totally out-glammed by Sarah Manners yesterday (yum!)

    It's very bland in every way, but there isn't much to compete with it in that time slot. Louise is 'nice' but no Paxman. The Simon/Tim football banter is coma-inducing. Simon's a real fan, but 'monotone' Tim was always a Watford fan - until the money started rolling in at Chelsea.

    The show's usually just 'white noise' in the background for me. I don't dislike any of the presenters, but it wouldn't break my heart if they 'mistakenly' locked in a storeroom with a starving lion.

    Amanda - tedious and plain
    Lou - cute and sexy
    Sarah - average looking

    That's a nice format.

    Weekend Lion with Mel and Sue

    "This week the flip funsters give the lion a much needed meal in the shape of Simpsons creator Matt Groening.

    Later the crazy comedians have a chat with 'napsack Selma', the gadget girl, who demonstrates a variation on a toy helicopter yet again. This time with built-in rifle.

    After the lion has eaten the cocktail hour begins...

    Sarah Manners was ridiculously tall. Tall women do nothing for me.

    Agree about the cocktails, but we've done quite a few of Simons recipes and they've been great, that pork thing did look bad though


    They've suddenly started doing Deja View again, wonder if someone reads this thread?

    That'll be the killer heels that she was wearing - part of making an effort, which gadget girl also tries to do

    God knows why the BBC are employing Amanda Byram, haven't they seen The Swan?

    I thought the BBC was the most PC TV corporation in the world and they're employing the female equivalent of Uncle Tom (kind of).

    Where is the feminist outrage?

    One of the worst bits about this show comes right at the start where Tim is seen clearly trying to psyche himself up for a cheery-sounding "Good morning!", whereas you can tell him his body language and his eyes that he's clearly dying inside.

    She presented The Swan, probably the most misogynist television programme ever made, once described as "the most morally bankrupt TV since Al Qaeda's latest press release."
