What's the forum's opinion on these two?

Well, i enjoyed their show on Channel 4, although i think the tv/film parodies with toys are a bit over-rated. I'm think i've seen other people on this forum making derogatry comments about them, but i always enjoy watching their program. Anyone know what they're doing now, since they were killed off in the last series?

The Robert DeNiro song in the last series was a classic and I'm sure 'Stuff This Life' went down well here. There is also the Star Trek song performed by Adam Buxton on Takeover TV which is a mini-classic in my humble opinion.

Wondered how long before A&J got a mention. I think they're fab. Their tribute special to Channel 4 is a classic. As is their guide to record shopping: "I can't give you a refund because you didn't use the right lie."

The tie-in book is also great, i feel, even though it contains lots of material from the show - perhaps that makes the book better. Best bit has to be the Cracker Jokes.

Boyfriend: What's the matter?
Girlfriend: Nothing
B: Well, something's the matter, what is it?
G: If you don't know, then that's half the problem.
B: What??!

Also, the chance to play along with the songs was too good to resist.

Does it include their Tetris song?
"My friend Joe's
A Tetris sceptic
Says it makes you
E-pil-ep-tic..."
Or the football one?
"When I go see Villa
My view is blocked by a concrete pillar..."
I seem to have a World Cup version of the Footy song on audio (sample lyric - "When I go and see Scotland/I get afraid that the ball will not land") - anyone know where it originated from?

I read on the a&j forum they were going to be getting some sort of series on c4 in the near future....

Plus, A&J presented BBC Choice's coverage of Glastonbury a few weeks ago. Granted, it being BBC Choice it wasn't exactly essential viewing, but given that they had to ad-lib the links (live) for about twelve hours of broadcasting over three days, it was light years ahead of BBC2's Whiley/Theakson blandfest. And they did an acoustic cover of Space Oddity with Fran from Travis which was surprisingly good.

Agree with the A&J Glastenbury coverage - pissed all over anything all the crap radio presenters with name's beginning with J (what a hilarious coincidence!) could do on BBC 2. Shame they hardly showed any decent groups, such as the Beta Band, and stayed on the Jazz World stage (as well as showing the same as what was on BBC2 - explain the point of that please.) But A&J's percussive skills certainly livened up events.
