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.

In the offending passage from Chantelle's book, Living the Dream, the reality star described a photo shoot where she wore clothes from Marks and Spencer.
"I've always loved M&S but it has always been too expensive for me," she wrote, adding that the session made her feel "very posh and upmarket".

fru the magic of youtube i've been able to see some of this, mostly the recent ones but some of the older ones as well. all i knew about the show was mark s calling it self-regarding somewhere (Noise Piece maybe?).
i know this is less of a big thing in the uk, but it was refreshing to see a game show/reality thing where the "contest" is obviously irrelevant and treated as such. i don't think a show like this would work here, for that, and also cos you couldn't get US c-listers to show up and have some dick make fun of them, while doing a bs quiz about music. so, tired as the show may be, i liked it!
on the evidence, amstell is funnier than lamarr.
amy winehouse was funnier than anyone on the show, ever. better comic timing, more charismatic. and she was tanked.
british indie is truly dire.
dale winton was pretty funny, too.

When are the new episodes starting again? Any official word? Last few years they've started end of October or so.
The best recent episode of the show, and the episode I direct people to when I want to get them to start watching, is the ep with Donny Tourette and Noel Fielding.
I think Amstell > Lamarr too.

ha yes "donny tourette"! couldn't believe he existed.
the other big uk/us difference: the cruelty that they visit on the extras in those lineups is pretty breathtaking. it'd never work here. a picture is fair game, but someone standing in your presence?!
