dave gorman Posted Sat Dec 16 22:07:06 GMT 2000 by 'joe'

hello. just thought i'd say - dave gorman on they think it's all over - mediocre/poor, but still better to sit in silence than join inwith all of the other idiots. I know someone who knows dave, and this was revealed to me after i was telling them about this website/forum and how everyone slags off dave. Is this true? or did my memory fabricate it? and who's dave's flatmate? christ, somebody reply viciously please.

I got the same feeling watching him that I got when Iain Lee appeared on the show - or indeed when Adam Bloom and Dave Gorman appeared on Buzzcocks - these are people who aren't suited to interacting with other people. All off-the-cuff ad-libs look like they've been through the spin dryer several times.

But they will insist on having guests who fall into the 'one to watch out for' catagory regardless.

Gorman's appeared on a few Call My Bluff shows. Since the set-up is just a basic series of monologues there was no awkwardness.

Dave's flatmate is Danny Wallace (of BBC's Funny Talk fame). Got a great anecdote about him, but we'll leave it for another time I think.

Dave's flatmate is a fellow called Danny Wallace, who I used to work with.

Anyone have any info on who heckled at the comedy awards? danielmarr@hotmail.com

Oh, it was Caroline Aherne obviously. I wound the tape back to check. The woman was sat if not on the already embittered Royle Family table, but fucking near. Lots of knowing remarks by Jonathan Ross about drink. The voice was incredibly North Western too.

Well, it was something like - he wrote to walkers as a kid for a project, realised how wasteful they were in crisp production, then after being scared by the evil pototoes in the smiths crisp adverts, disn't mind how many pototoes they choppped up...or something anyway. It wasn't really a joke, more of a routine.

Sounds a bit rubbish to me.
I suppose you had to be there right?
