Not one of my favourite programmes but I watched it anyway.
Tennant was great I thought. Cribbens also played a great part .....
.... BUT what the hell was Catherine Tate on????? I felt she really let
herself down badly. I appreciate this show is a little off the wall by
definition but thought Tate really over the topp (probably in the Green Room
before hand).

Thanks, will look out for it.

A bit of a curate's egg - good in parts.
Tennant was great, but Cribbins upstaged him in my opinion - he's very
clever, funny and quick. His interjection on the subject of Kylie
Minogue's bra was inspired.
Catherine Tate came across as completely and utterly barmy. Funny at
times, but occasionally grating for me.

Bernie C was awesome, Catherine Tate came off looking like a complete loon
who'd learnt nothing from her time on Who.

Why should see really? It was just a part for her, she freely admits she`d
had no care for the show before hand and I very much doubt she`ll continue
to tune into it after.

I often wonder how many of these things are scripted on these shows mind.
Tennant`s comeback didn`t get such a good laugh and he did comment that
Cribbens had got the better lines.

Yeah that`s probably fair. She looks like the sort of person that would be a
lot of fun to be around for a while...and then would just start to piss you
off! The dancing ood was...odd.

The way I believe these things usually work is that the presenter is
mostly scripted, and everyone knows what's going to be coming up on the
show, so they can prepare material, discussions and one-liners ahead of
time. There's still a fair bit of ad-libbing, though, and they record a
couple of hours of stuff and cut it down.
Monsieur Tabernac
I downloaded and watched this show. Being Canadian and all, I'd never
seen "Buzzcocks" before. I have to say that anyone who says that
British television is far more sophisticated than US television has
never seen this show. I don't think I've seen much worse than
this.... IMHO, of course.

Popular British television hasn`t been very sophisticated in my lifetime.
Especially nowadays, most of the best watched stuff is absolute tosh.
Although in fairness a good deal of it is re-workings of crappy American
shows.
Buzzcocks possibly doesn`t translate well overseas, it`s fairly typical
British humour and a reasonably popular show. Likewise I find the vast bulk
of American comedy to be shit...God knows what you`d make of The Mighty
Boosh...the comedy series that lead captain Noel Fielding writes and stars
in.
Monsieur Tabernac
I understand British comedy quite well (and really like "The Mighty
Boosh"), however IMO my dislike of this Buzzcocks show isn't because
of the comedy not translating, rather that there wasn't any real
comedy, just "celebrities" mugging and telling lame jokes (and
thinking they're funny) -- are you sure this is typical British
humour? I hope not.
Soze
"Monsieur Tabernac" <mtab...@NOSPAMhotmail.com> wrote in message
Well, as ever with this sort of show it depends on who you`ve got on. Some
weeks it can be really funny, others not so. It`s something I watch if I
stumble upon it rather than look out for but there are a lot of this sort of
thing about.
Alan Sailsbury
Rob Brydon spoofed that type of show perfectly. Yes, it is pretty lame
and forgettable humour.

What was the Barrowman stuff all about. Did the two of them have a bet on
how many times Tennant could introduce gay and sexual references into the
programme?

sophisticated than US TV dates from the '70s, which with a couple of
exceptions (nature docs aside) pretty much *was* the last time we
produced quality TV.

For years now the only panel shows worth 'watching' in the UK have
been on radio... And even the News Quiz has had a bad run for a few
years now - which still makes it infinitely better than Have I Got
News For You has been since, oh, its second year.

Could hardly be worse than a Have I Got News For You episode I caught
recently (it's unfortunate what I get subjected to while other people
are in the house...) which seemed to consist entirely of the panelists
making the same joke about a union leader again and again in the hopes
that it would suddenly become more than mildly amusing.

Or hoping the union leader would blow his top. (No Aggy, that's not an
oral sex reference. Down boy.)

I hope this is better than Little Britain.

Tate is a nutter.
Cribbins is a god.
Tennant is quite entertaining.
The bloke off the Boosh and the miniature jazzman are harmless, and
Phill Jupitus is a decent bloke.
And Jo Whiley is about as hot as it's possible for a woman to be. I
swear that the desk in front of her was steaming whenever her sexy
fingers touched it.
*And* she's a DW fan! Jo Whiley for the next companion! The campaign
starts here!

Cribbins is turning into a possible replacement for Humphrey
Lyttelton as "Most Wonderful Human Being".

She behaved very oddly, but she was just being herself. if you visited
me and laughed helplessly for a few minutes about a running joke, I
expect I'd join in. The difference in CT's case is that she was
sitting behind a desk on the TV, so her laughter wasn't infectious.

Perhaps he should chair I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue from now on, since
they insist on carrying on with it. For a while I refused to listen
after Humph's death since there seemed no way anyone else could carry
the show - then I listened last week for the first time and discovered
just how right I was.

Her interview in RT made me feel rather sorry for her - I hadn't known
she'd intended to go into acting originally and was more-or-less
drafted into comedy instead. It's abundantly clear that acting is
where her greater talents lie, so it's a shame she's wound up
pigeonholed.

Come on guys. It was a setup. She was DELIBERATELY EXAGGERATING being a
dense character for laughs.
Worked for me. She was funny.
