Thanks for the free advice, I now have an appointment next Tuesday, ta very much

Just invite clarkson and co back and stick yas on with them. Loads of boxes ticked with her, she could make the sandwiches, mind you she may not survive the day.

I can see the new Top gear with gob on a stick evans dying a death with all this box ticking nonsense. Kev doesn't seem too enamoured with it either.

Yas with all the equality bollocks. Some socialists are more equal than others in her world.


Kev is right about spin another quality drama from France. Highly recommended

I need a drink.....

I don't know about Loose Women although it seems likely most viewers are female. I am sure I read somewhere that Top Gear, however, has a large proportion of female viewers. The figure 40% is in my mind. So mostly male viewers but still pretty mixed. It could be described (previously at least) as a "laddish" show but that is not the same as "lads" show which sounds like it is only appealing to male viewers. Of course, you could argue that changing the mix of presenters may by definition change that "laddish" quality. Although the new female presenter may have a laddish personality and the tone of the show remains the same regardless.

As for the point about "make a new show then", I get the feeling that is exactly what is happening. Not necessarily that it will be more gender balanced in tone but that it will be different, and essentially a new show. Clarkson and his chums new show on Amazon will probably be the equivalent of the continuation of the same show.

Anyway I do agree with some other posts that it is weird to bring up a lack of female presenters when there now is one when nothing was said for years when it was literally all male. That makes it seem like complaining for the sake of it.

I hate the new C5 DOG. On the plus side, it's smaller than before and less intrusive, but it's still unnecessary and, on comparing it with ITV as I type, I see it's straying way from the corner.

Currently, C5 are showing Mr Holland's Opus (in 2.35:1!) and the '5' is bisected by the top black line. On C4 when a film is shown in HD, the same black line is often met by the bottom of the DOG, so that proves how bad C5's is.

Naturally, Matthew was loving the look on Thursday morning. Of course, he's the most objective person to ask I wonder how many people emailed in to say how crap it was but these were left out so they could only use the 'we love it' ones?




I was thinking the same. How do you go from microphone man to running a paper? I wonder if it's the same situation as a guy I know who kept climbing the ladder by applying for stuff and pretending he knew what he was doing, but would get found out eventually?

I think I posted a similar thought on here a while ago when he was a guest. Quite a meteoric rise but surely there were other people infinitely more qualified than him for the role?!

Lowri auditioning for a Matrix/Hellraiser sequel apparently.

Is lowri morphing into heather miles McCartney or an extra from blade runner

Shazia Mirza's bullshit detecting 'pal' on as well

What would you do without the smilie? It'd be like losing an arm!

Stormy looking flowery and lovely this morning

I think it's safe to assume now that Kirsty is toast.

If women could get their minds off their appearance for 10 minutes a day perhaps they could rule the world for themselves rather than by proxy as they do now!!

"Do you watch BBC3?" Wrighty is asked.

"Yeah, Gavin and Stacey" which ended years ago first run. I wonder if he even realises he's just explained why it's shifting online.

Does Lowri close her eyes when she drives past electricity pylons?

If Wrighty would do us all the favour of brushing up on the basics before he sounds off about a subject we'd all benefit as a result. Sacking a few managers at the Beeb isn't going to free up @£120m to prop up a television channel. I realise the Beeb overpays their suits but to shove that forward as a solution is something most children would realise was utter BS. He really is an odd little man....

Interesting how he was slamming the BBC, and always looks like he's desperate to work for them, yet fronts Inside Out London, and occasionally pops up on This Week. So he is already doing some work for them.

"Nutritionist" Lowri, who goes on to admit she once followed a ridiculous raw diet, points out that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Oh the irony.

Last bit of the show has MW ask a caller whether his opinion that wind farms are not ugly is the common view in his area based on what people down the pub say. The caller says he can't generalize so MW asks "is that not a generalization to say you can't generalize?" then sarcastically bids him farewell with a snidey little extra mention as he wraps the show. We know that he likes to do his research based on what his chums down the pub are saying but also that it is a flawed way to collect evidence. Anecdotal evidence is not evidence. I am also confused how the caller saying that he can't generalize counts as generalization itself. It just seemed to be a way of getting a snide comment in while showing an apparent lack of understanding of what basic words mean. Why does he always have so much pent up aggression towards callers? It's so weird.

Pale blue letters on white background for the break q&a's, great for the visually challenged.

Beyond the 16th minute of her fame. She co-presented The Wright Stuff according to Hello. Read out a few things on the telly then sold out. Enough said.

Kirsty who . Just joking of course, I bet she is foaming at the mouth at the young upstart who has replaced her...go Stormy

She is in Hello, and more to the point, what is Hello and sold out to who

I doubt Storm at 28 is that much younger than Kirsty

An early sighting of jazz hands today, used to denote being child-free and happy about it!

Lowri, the nutritionist misidentifying almonds as nuts. No, I didn't realise either but then I don't call myself a nutritionist. Wouldn't fill you with confidence if you were paying for her services.

Lori channelling her inner joan collins with that blue ensemble.

Will wrighty show us how vacuous these reality stars are with the guest this morning?
