I do not like Amstell. I prefer tiresome old Lamarr.
I did quite like guest presenters though.
I did not see Oddie, but his presence makes sense.

But last night was good - Oddie was terrifically awkward and I enjoyed Amstell listing the current Radio 1 DJs..."it's just not good enough, is it?" You could imagine that being a Lamarr line but, in keeping with his sour schtick, it wouldn't have had much impact.

Actually, I think SA was more sexist towards Penny Smith. Everyone on this episode seemed slaughtered - I'm amazed it even made it to air.

I think it's OK so far. Noel is a good choice as stand in for Bill. Last weeks episode with Cheggers was funny, particularly Amstell's line about "at first glance Keith might sound like a poor booking, but he's the most famous person here!". One thing I don't like though is that "Parkinson" style extreme close up on people's faces.

Probably a good move, quit while he's ahead, etc.. I wasn't sick of him, but I could imagine that another series with him as host would have left me disinterested. Sayle's "you're shit!" heckle while Amstell was dressed as a rabbit was in jest but hit a nerve for me. Maybe it was the abscence of Bill Bailey for most of the last series, but it felt like it was more about Amstell's set pieces rather than the interplay between the team captains and the hosts.Anyway, BBC should a) glue Bailey to that captain's chair, and b) get some of the people who were guest team captains back on as guest hosts. Starting with Stephen Fry.
― snoball, Sunday, 26 April 2009 17:44 (fifteen years ago) link
Right, this thread will do.
New series started last night.
It was particularly poor. Mark Ronson chaired, PhillJupitus was somewhat phoned in, Noel Fielding had a mate on, um, it was dull.
