And just like Shazia, not very funny.
She sounded somewhat desperate, begging folks to come to her gig.
I imagine there'll be more cancellations than fresh bookings after this week's stint on the panel!!

God he was real Mr Angry with that caller. Pity the caller didn't just slam the phone down and cut Wright off for a change.

BUT THE SUN SAYS IT'S A SELFIE! SELFIE! SELFIE! SELFIE! SELFIE!
Moot point anyway. If a terrorist came into my workplace and I had a picture taken with them at my request, if I survived I wouldn't expect my colleagues or bosses to be particularly impressed.

That would just make him grin like a loon all the more, but he really did lose it there. He'd previously had a call from someone who wanted to talk about another aspect of it, and another caller who wasn't there. Who on earth is meant to be screening these calls because they're doing a crap job!

How do you know it came from a tweet?

Chided for Tweeting/facebooking before the break and after the break has the realisation "it's not a selfie!". I'm making an assumption seeing as they have time to go through the papers beforehand so I'm sure she would've mentioned it upfront then if she'd sussed that from the off.

Ah, it could be. I had a look on her Twitter and couldn't see any reference to it so thought it had come from there.

His producer on this is just useless. Someone needs to tell him that being snide, insulting and rude to callers is not professional. Vet them better and only put through ones with cogent, relevant points or is the whole aim to offer up ones that he can then freely insult?”

I had a conversation on here a while back about how the question posed for the topic will be on screen for 15 minutes, then as soon as the caller gets put through he'll ask another question.
Very unfair to callers who have so little time to get their point across usually, without being immediately wrong-footed. If they don't answer quickly enough, or just plough on with the point they wanted to make, they risk being hung-up on.
He is really infuriating and incredibly immature at times.

They will do that. They'll have staff talking to the caller on the line asking them what points they are going to make and whatnot. It's Matthew's fault if he decides to suddenly ask an unrelated question at the drop of a hat to put them off. The caller will try to stick to what the staff have agreed with them to say because they would have been instructed to stick to the topic.

It reminds me of Alan Partridge 'Knowing Me Knowing You' when Alan suddenly sacks Glen Ponda live on air for showing a little dissent and making a light joke thus making Alan angry. Alan tells him that he had a joke of his own and that the joke was that he was going to give him his P45.

You get people in the media who think they know it all and get very angry if somebody points out that they've made a mistake. How dare a member of the public make them look a fool?
Anything happening online they just don't seem to truly understand and tend to rely on bad research.
These people in the media appropriated the term 'troll' and thought it meant cyber-bully, then the meaning of the word changed in many people's perceptions. Now they're trying to appropriate the word 'selfie' and change its meaning thinking it must simply mean the same as 'photo'.
I don't think they do it deliberately, I think it's just sheer ignorance and stupidity.
They just like to blow off a lot of hot air about what's right and wrong even if it's on a subject they know absolutely nothing about and a researcher has just told them about the same morning.
They do the same thing when the subject of Ecigs pop up on this show, which it frequently does. Never have I seen such poor knowledge on display about a subject than on this show.
It feels like the media informs itself by referring to other media, and some of the celebrities talking about cultural issues and subjects seem to live in some sort of bubble which is protected from general society.

"Knowing me, Alan Patridge, sacking you, Glen Ponder."
The cringe factor is very high when Matthew goes into one.
Everyone else seems quite embarassed.

Yes, I bet that when Matthew gets angry somebody like Storm will genuinely feel a little scared underneath and be asking herself whether this is touch and go as far as her job is concerned.
Matthew: "Storms blow things away don't they Storm? Like P45s in the wind belonging to lippy research assistants".
I can't believe that he's so narcissistic and afraid of looking like he is wrong that he would use The Sun as evidence to back up his point that it's a selfie, when simple common sense, and the fact that the clue's in the name, tells anyone if they stop to think why a selfie is called a selfie.
He must know that he was wrong mustn't he?
I really wish that it was in his beloved Daily Mail, just to see if his desperation to be seen to be right would allow him to use the DM as proof and evidence to support his claim.

Part of the problem I reckon is the regular audience of coffin-dodgers and weirdos. He clearly knows them all by name so it must be a little like playing to an audience of mates instead of considering his conduct as going out to an audience of several hundred thousand who aren't so invested in chuckling along to his snide rudeness.
Whatever the cause is it's clear Screechy (childish/sexist(?) name for producer duly noted) is somewhat subordinate to his whims and as a result we have the show that we do rather than the better one we deserve.
One of the most childish displays he's ever given. To think he reckons he's a professional broadcaster when he does stuff like that is just ridiculous. Glad he can see a distinction between himself and Kyle because for most everyone else there's barely a cigarette paper between them.

There really are some weirdos who seem to be in permanent residence in that studio. I notice the latest addition is a rather badly dressed elderly transvestite, but Wrighty seems to have an affinity for oddballs, possibly as he's something of an oddball himself.
These folk seem to be there virtually every day. Their lives must revolve around TWS studio appearances. Very strange people.

I think it's run out of puff now. The same old format and guests year in year out with Wright having menstrual issues on a daily basis and a bad back every month, it's time for drastic changes to be made or shut the programme down.
Far too much time is wasted on the days panel guest with Wrighty fawning all over them, then inviting obviously scripted questions from the two panel members. I don't know why any viewers bother phoning in because they will only be met with rudeness.
The reason Wright makes snide comments about Kyle is because he's jealous. As much as i dislike the man Kyle has gone on to do other shows where Wright has been stuck with TWS because it's been shown he cannot handle anything beyond that (he completely lost control of the Benefits debate within minutes). TWS is his limit.

Dunno-it's Wrighty we're talking about here and he's always right
'Hotshot' he's taking the piss. The Independent stopped being independent long ago and turned into a left wing preaching rag. No pity for it at all. The Guardian is going the same way.
Vodka taken....

You mean the 850m the labour party spent bailing out the banks in 2008 Matthew not the current 'government'.
Corbyn knows full well we can't do a thing about this due to EU rules which he wants to remain a part of. Matthew is having another socialist whinge but being very sketchy on the details.

Indeed. it's not like a normal conversation between two people, it's just talking to someone who'll regularly talk over you, change tack, and then suddenly ignore you and talk to the other panellists, leaving you wondering whether he's going to come back to you, then he never does and the topic ends. What happens to the caller? Do they go back to the person who vetted them or just unceremoniously get cut off?
