Who the heck is Grant whatshisname?

What has Linda Evans done to her lips?

Which one is "Naomi"?

What has irritating, smirking "actor" ever been in?

How pretentious is Grobbelaar!

(Anthea Turner's presence is always a bad sign.)

I agree.

It's the Credit Crunch. ITV can't afford the D-Lists.

I want to smack Jody Latham already and that feeling surfaced when he was acting smug over his sandwich (so about 10 mins in )

I've never liked him, and he shown himself to be a right idiot on Jack Osbourne.

Grobelaar I mistook for George Galloway! I thought what's he done to his hair?!

"Zelebs" you mean?

These lot add new meaning to "Z listers"

Shameless, The Street, also another ITV drama too

Actually surprised he's on it as he's been in quite alot of stuff actually

I'm liking the blend of people. There is perhaps a lack of someone really fiery. Niomi may well be the intended firebrand, but she seems more clued up and rational than perhaps she's meant to be. Ade seems to want to be clown prince, but not confident enough to really 'go for it,' but he has a certain charm. Linda is a surprise package. She was probably assumed to be a grande dame, who'd flounce off with the hump as soon as she was made to skivvy, but she's proving rather savvy and is stoically knuckling down. Team Smug, aka The Boveys, will grow on us like fungus in the days ahead and doubtless alienate the viewing population. Grant is already being a complete oil slick.

Early days, but I'm liking it.

Yes, many of the celebs are Z listers. Ade Edmonson's career finished when Bottom did.

Jody Latham's face reminds me of Cliff Richard's, one of those faces that you want to slap.

No I like the line-up. Linda is the most watchable of them all. I find her very intriguing.

Jody Latham irritates me to the point of nausea. Utter cringe and yes, he has a face you wish you could reach through the TV screen and slap

Well if numerous sit coms, a lucrative stage show and a long-term part in Casualty constitutes a career that's finished, then I wouldn't mind being finished.

the biggest z lister is WHITE.....i cant think of a bigger self-righteous prick on tv......an unpleasant fool who used to be able to make a shrip salad in the old days but would not earn a living in any modern kitchen now.....had to turn the thing off after ff most of it

Yeah usually theres a couple of people I like in a series like this but none here really!Especially no one really whos in the current spotlight!

I actually think there is a good blend of people in this series....(if you don't include poor Claudia..)... I am sure there will be fireworks and I love how they are all quite scared of Marco.... I would be scared to go for a meal there...
Anyone notice the continuity cock up when they interviewed barry McGuigan and he said that Ade had been waiting on him.. did they wait on them tonight or is that not on wednesday night.. I got a bit confused then...

I noticed that too. He must have been a waiter last night, he got chosen to be one on Sunday and and on Monday all the bits in the restaurant with Claudia were live I think. But, more of that on Wednesday. Way to go Barry, tell me the winner right now so I can go and do something more intellectual with my time.

It's usually the 'bad' choices which end up the most memorable.

Like when you order the prawn salad in a dodgy restaurant & throw up in your partner's lap?

The Fixer!
