Jamie Oliver's Lock In 'chat show'

[Deleted User] · 16/12/10 - 22:47

Oi, Jamie, no.

New dodgy, greasy, mullet haircut... Louis Spence as a guest... Awkward flirty interview with Charlottle Church... Now a hidden camera 'comedy' segment....

No, no no... credibility gurgling down the kitchen sink..... :eek:

I just wanna see how the turkeys come out.

I'm betting that the deep fried one will be the best.

Jamie Oliver lost all his credibility when he went from making cooking shows to commenting in the media on everything from knife crime to the war on terror.

I deep fried a turkey one Christmas. It was the best turkey I've ever had.

Channel 4's creative renewal. :rolleyes:

You can't polish a turd and the trailer showed one gloriously huge pile of cack.

Mockney Oliver, Charlotte Church and serial publicity **** Louis Spence in one show. What a great recipe for tv hell.

I remember Phillip Schofield saying ages ago that he spent Christmas in Australia and that it was popular to deep fry their turkeys and once you've tried it you'll never want a turkey cooked any other way.

I haven't tried it myself but it sounds great.

Deep fry turkey all the time when I'm over in the States, in a rather large steel drum. It can be very dangerous to do, but it can produce a right tasty bit of chow.

Even my Mum switched off...and she likes Jamie.

Are there any alternatives to the dodgy steel drum? I really fancy the deep fried turkey, but not the disaster that might ensue.

Most people in the US actually use a purpose made turkey fryer kit, which consists of a large steel pot, a burner stand which is connected to a bottle of gas and a metal hook contraption with which the turkey is lowered into, and removed from the pot. Oh, and it's always cooked outside.

This programme must have been bad -- the content has been ignored and the majority of the thread is discussing the best way to deep-fry a turkey!

I contemplated watching this and then I saw the trailer last night.

This highlights the celebrity culture these days when Charlotte Church is headline guest and Santa Clause works behind the bar.;)

So he is not supposed to have a valid opinion then? Maybe the man in the street should not have any opinions either?

pixieboots · 17/12/10 - 09:47

This was rubbish, I switched off after 30 mins. I like Jamie and CC so was looking forward to it too

All that shouting to the crowd reminded me of that variety show "The good old days".

Porcupine · 17/12/10 - 09:50

I watched the first few minutes, but as soon as I saw Louis Spence i turned over to another show. I then switched back for the last few minutes when they were trying the turkeys - and all i could hear was Louis making sexual inuendo's about spit roasting.

Im glad i missed it.

What could possibly go wrong??

So how did Charlotte Church come out?

I like Jamie but wouldn't have watched this anyway.

He's the wrong type to host a chat show (probably better than Shane Warne though - apparently his one, on in Aus now, is mind blowingly awful).

Add the lame 'guests' who a likely to appear on it and a wide berth is needed.

It's not that he shouldn't have opinions on such matters. However his "celebrity" status shouldn't mean that his opinions are given more weight than those of the man in the street.

You saw about as much as I did, then.
I can take Louis Spence's dancing about act as funny in the same vein as Norman Wisdom or similar physical comedy.

Once they start with the sexual innuendo, it gets my back up, 'Fairy on the Tree' or whatever is was.
Had enough of that nonsense with Ross and the 4 Poofs, another reason why I rarely watched that show.
I find it really grating and incongruous, don't know why.
Edit: The 4 Poof's couldn't sing for buttons either, that was really grating.

Shame as I've usually got some time for Jamie, variety type shows aren't really my bag anyway, so no loss to me.
