I don't hate him too much - Creek was mostly good, if you ignore most of the (really) implausible last series. He's just been on overkill recently, and all the programs (and adverts) he is in appear to be, well, a bit shit to be honest. Nothing really pesonal though
didn't see anything past the first series (thankfully <?> moved away from the UK) of JC, so still have a load of nostalgia for it.
And the adverts were vaguely amusing. when compared with the Vanish In-Wash Tablets ilk of adverts, anyway. Come on.
I like Alan Davies. I choose to judge him on his standup, which has always been very entertaining.
And surely people can't blame the implausible endings to JC series 2 episodes on Alan??
I hate this kind of backlash, generally based on a performer's commercial success/popularity. "Too many people like them, they can't be any good any more".
Nothing to do with mainstream success - love Jonathan Creek (well, first two series anyway). But Splintered Thing has serious delusions of grandeur (thinks it's somewhere between Woody Allen and Dream On, and is nothing like as good as either). Not all Davies's fault, I grant you, though.
No, he's alright. He's just not that big a deal.
> Why DO we have to hate Alan Davies?
Because he stole Pants On A Stick.
Bastard.
Advertisers use celebrities because they believe that viewers trust them. And as long as there's some cash in it, your favourite celebrities don't give a fuck which piece of shit you get lumbered with.
But he worked with a kitten! AwwWwww.
*confused*
I had this (almost) exact same conversation in the pub on Saturday night...am I still there?
...have another pint, go on.
Get us some Pork Scratchings while you're there.
Does this forum have a jukebox?
Do you think they do any decent food here?
Dunno, but the Mild's atrocious. Pipes want cleaning out, I reckon.
Send a rat down.
Good for all sorts of things, rats.
Oh, and mine's a Red Square, if anyone's buying. cheers.
Because he's shagging Kirsten O'Brien and she's lush. That's why.
>Because he's shagging Kirsten O'Brien and she's lush. That's why.
Kirsten O'Brien has teeth like a horse and is offensively talentless.
A friend (allegedly) once drunkenly told her that she looks like a fish.

Is this person only allegedly your friend (and is he/she aware of his/her non-friend status?), or do you just not believe what your friends tell you?
Ailie done:
>Kirsten O'Brien has teeth like a horse and is offensively talentless.
No she hasn't and no she's not. She's an exceptionally well-aquitted TV presenter. She is also fantastically professional, really good fun and quite strikingly good-looking (in an unusual sort of way). Perhaps she doesn't appeal to you but (importantly) are you her target audience? Quite frankly, if you get offended by children's telly presenters, turn off your television set and go and do something less boring instead.
>A friend (allegedly) once drunkenly told her that she looks like a fish.
Drunk person in 'comedy not dead' shocker.
Cheerio
Steve
>She's an exceptionally well-aquitted TV presenter.
Yes... well, each to their own, eh?
I think she's awful, but apparently there is a fast track system for talentless presenters in the world of childrens Television.
> quite strikingly good-looking
Are you her dad, or something?
>are you her target audience?
No, are you?
>turn off your television set and go and do something less boring instead.
I hardly ever even watch TV! I don't like much of it, so I spend half my life on the computer and the other half drinking.
>Drunk person in 'comedy not dead' shocker.
Nah, but I always think of my friend fondly anytime Ms. O'Brien is on telly.
>Cheerio
Byeeeee!
>Is this person only allegedly your friend (and is he/she aware of his/her non-friend status?), or do you just not believe what your friends tell you?
Yes.
Anyway, we're straying from the point.
ALAN DAVIES STOLE PANTS ON A STICK!
> She's an exceptionally well-aquitted TV presenter.
What was she charged with?
Ailie done:
>Yes... well, each to their own, eh?
>I think she's awful, but apparently there is a fast track system for talentless presenters in the world of childrens Television.
Yeh, TV producers can't wait to get the world's most talentless people stuck in front of a camera. It makes them feel good about their inflated salaries, their drug habits and all the other cliches about people who work in telly.
>Are you her dad, or something?
Ha! No. I've worked with her. She is incredibly good at a very tricky job (okay, it's not brain surgery but it *does* take some work - you should see the *really* hopeless showreels that wannabes send in).
>>are you her target audience?
>
>No, are you?
No. But then I'm not saying she's rubbish. Like I don't go round saying More journalists are shite 'cos I don't actually read their magazine, and it's not intended for me. Do you see?
>I hardly ever even watch TV! I don't like much of it, so I spend half my life on the computer and the other half drinking.
Blimey! That's what I do. No, really.
And, yes, I spelled acquitted wrong, but I meant it in the sense of "conducting oneself". Oh, you knew that, didn't you? It was a joke, wasn't it? I've just made it worse, haven't I?
I'll get me coat.
Cheerio
Steve
>Ha! No. I've worked with her.
Can I be really nosy and ask what you do?
TV, although I don't have much time for watching it, intrigues me.
I want to be a travel journalist and I'd really like to get into broadcast eventually...
>>I hardly ever even watch TV! I don't like much of it, so I spend half my life on the computer and the other half drinking.

>Blimey! That's what I do. No, really.
Well, I like the finer things in life! :0)
Ailie done this:
>Can I be really nosy and ask what you do?
>TV, although I don't have much time for watching it, intrigues me.
I'll take this off-forum, if that's okay with you, Ailie. Got that Corpse-esque paranoia about leaving messages around!
Cheerio
Steve
>Got that Corpse-esque paranoia about leaving messages around!
understood!
WhAlan use this stolen phrase, then?
When did Alan use this stolen phrase, then?
No, he stole the whole idea! If you saw the stand-up thing he did for telly, you should recognise MY game.
