Predictable show for Danny Baker to resurface on.

Couldn't face watching it, but presumably Deayton's too busy to do Before They Were Famous anymore, and it looked more or less the same sort of format. To think that Caroline Wright's department used to make shows of the calibre of TV Hell and TV Heroes and now pisses about with this sort of rubbish is truly depressing. Danny Baker is a good writer, and deserves better than Theakston delivering his stuff badly. (IN theory, of course. I didn't see it.)

Well,if Angus Deayton was the new John Cleese,then I for one look foward to Jamie Theakston making a shit film set in a zoo with Ronnie Corbett.

Errrm - NO!!!

Angus Deayton is intelligent, funny and, like any genuine star, is willing to take a back seat to someone else in the name of comedy (To Ian and Paul, to Victor Meldrew [who's real name escapes me at the moment - apologies] or to a box of Fruit and Fibre)

Jamie Theakston is an arrogant, self-publicising git, hooked on the cult of his own celebrity.

Theakston is a perfectly able TV presenter, if they'd just let him get on with doing kid shows and pop programmes. He's not much cop at anything else, but give him his own version of "Later" or "The White Room" and he wouldn't upset anyone, I'm sure...
