> why does this program exist?

It pisses me off that there seems to be some kind of Zoe Ball job creation scheme within the media, whereby she worms her way into whatever form of broadcast comes her way and then somehow manages to find work for the pathetically talentless Jamie Theakston.

> Does anybody actually like Zoe

No.


-RANT OVER-

It's a worthy successor to TFI Friday, though. Its another one of those programmes that you can't believe is actually being served up as entertainment. Poorly conceived and badly executed 'funnies' and that singer from Texas every week.

Some things are better off being badly executed.

For example, Jamie Theakston and Zoe ball.

That reminds of the joke:

Excited mother says to piano tutor: "What do you think of my daughter's execution?

And the tutor says: " I think it would be the best thing all round."

lol that one really gets to me Gee.

What pisses me off about this kind of programme is that everybody involved knows that what they're doing is unfunny, but that by adopting a veneer of irony, they think they can get away with it.
I have a painful memory of inadvertently catching a minute of Gail Porter on that pisspoor C5 movie show. John Cusack (or someone) made some sort of joke in an interview. Gail in the studio said something ironic like "Oh, bless him, he's so funneee!". Well, yes, he is, funnier than you, anyway; all you can do is read an autocue enthusiastically. These people need to be killed.

I'm not even going to start, OK?

I've said it before, 'The Priory' looks like it was made by people who saw 5 minutes of TMWRNJ with the sound off and decided to copy it.

In the biography of the Krankies, I'm sure these were the exact words Iain used to woo Jeanette.

It must have been tricky the first time he explained what he wanted her to do.

JIMMY: Hoot mon, ma dear, I've got te tell ye sommat...

JEANETTE: What's sa matter love, ye've gen as white as a sheet?

JIMMY: Weeell, it's not easy tae talk openly about sich matters...

JEANETTE: Try, ma love, try, remember what we sid aboot bein' honest wi' each other...

JIMMY: Weeeeelll... I've alwez had a "thung" for school uniforms...

JEANETTE: Ooch! Ye saucy devil! Ye want me to dress up as a naughty schoolgirl, wi' pigtails and a miniskirt and a tennis racket... then ye can discipline me... ooch, yes!

JIMMY: Weeeeelll... <sighing> Not exactly...

LOL!!!

Sam, you've just made me inhale a piece of lettuce. I won't be reading any more of your postings during my lunch break, it's too hazardous.

Wasn't lettuce inhalation previewed on the last ep of Frontal, as the next big rave high?
