Thank heavens for the FF button. Hunniford brings out murderous feelings in me, especially when she puts her hand up and says 'We got that as well'. You will haunt me no more, Hunniford, you are only seen in a blur as the 30+ function is on. It worked when Jeremy's special needs brother was on, and it works with you.

Are you talking about Tim Vine? How strange.

Well, he'll never be Jeff - but have to admit that I'm finding myself on the verge of, getting dangerously close to - beginning to warm to Nick ! (ducks)

Yes. There definitely needs to be a Rachel Riley Channel

Unwatchable this week with that unspeakable cow in Dictionary Corner (not Susie).

That was amusing...

Ann Widdecombe: 'And here's one that's like me - stouter'

Nick Hewer: 'Skanker?'

Ann Widdecombe: 'No! Stouter!'

Nick then followed that up with a devilish grin and a cheeky smile. I love this man as a presenter.

This man Hewer is unbearably dull. Bring back Jeff; or, failing that, how about bringing Vorderman back as main presenter?!

When were we supposed to start liking Ann Widdecombe? Did I miss the memo?

The current champ is the spit of Maurice Colbourne, who older viewers will remember as Tom Howard from Howard's Way

Or, maybe a better memorial, as Kline in "Gangsters" which was a postmodern pre-figuring of Life on Mars (albeit without the time travel) from pretty much the era in which Life on Mars was set!

Apols for offtopicating - so, er, I like Nick Hewer.

Can't bear her either Gulf, but the Maurice Colbourne lookalike (thanks Mark, it was bugging me), is good so I'm recording and fast forwarding the rude bat!

I hope you're coping okay with Rachel's slightly more demure outfits - I think she's toned it down a bit so as not to give Nick a heart attack. The skin tight bandage dresses went with Jeff (he looks lovely in them I've heard!)

I blame the millionaire she's marrying. She's toned it down since they announced their engagement.

She had a pretty tight dress on yesterday. Lovely beige number. She does vary it quite a bit.

As for Widdecombe, awful rude woman. Very rude towards Susie today. I think RR and Widdecombe are about as far towards either end of the spectrum you can get!

Oddly enough, he also looks a lot like Glyn Owen, who also starred in Howard's Way.

Ugh, it's ruining my enjoyment of the programme and Nick as a presenter. I wish he'd reign in his fawning Tory ways...

I doubt it when he and Lord Sugar were big mates of Gordon Brown.

It's not specified in ODE so it's not permissible. I doubt it's in any dictionary.
