Am I allowed to say that if there is one person that i would like to see re-youthed and fed to the monster Jez North it is Simon Pegg.

As for appearing on stage with coldplay - what did he do?

He played harmonica on don't panic.

Good job Larry Adler bought the farm last week, then.

I'm still relatively new to this forum, so could someone fill me in on the problem with Simon Pegg? I found him amusing in Big Train and Spaced, and thought he was great supporting Steve Coogan in The Man Who Thinks He's It.

Oh I like Pegg. I jsut don't like the idea of him playing the mouth organ with Coldplay. Others here are not quite so charitable. I'd like to know why, too, Bob.

I don't mind him either, but as a forum regular, I think I can sum up the "problem": he's ubiquitous, he's a bit smug, and he looks like a skateboarder. I think that's about it.

Ah. Simple, really.

Still not good enough for me, though. Pegg's alright (Coldplay Incident excepted)

Excellent. I've met peg and i also know Kevin Eldon thinks he's a prick his descriptive words were 'wanker'. Mark Heaps response is too graphic to print on a family forum. This made me question Pegs appearance in the BES. I think this was just spite from CM. And in that case very funny. I would have convinced pegg to shaft a kid, in the name of art, saying 'Simon, it's for the brass eye special, just do it! If you can't get a hard on pretend!' I would then have sent this to the police and watched the poor bugger be hung...

Simon Pegg 'Hangings too good for him'

Big Train itself wasn't fantastic but it was at least good, and it's not like Simon Pegg was any more to blame than anyone else.

Spaced was good, although the second series was a bit tooo silly, what with the Men In Black and stuff.

I've not really heard any very good arguments against simon pegg. all i've heard is people saying "your reasons for liking him arent good enough" or something.

I've met Kevin Eldon and he pointedly refused to do any of the characters or voices I demanded of him. Which shows what a showbiz scumbag he is as well.

I thought it was because Pegg has in no way used his commercial power to help SOTCAA. And because he's so bloody annoying. (Then again I did watch Spaced...)

Jesus Electric piano led,twenty greatest love songs,richard marx,proper songwriter fucking WANK.
Mind you,from a generation who grew up thinking the stone roses "seminal"
Spaced was superb and the soundtrack was fantastic.

Thank Christ you qualified that first comment with the second. For a moment there, I thought you might need educating about music, but now I see there's no point.

I've thought of a good reason to hate him, he interrupted Baynham Peter Baynham on 99p Challenge, in both series, more than once. Bastard.

Does anyone else think a Comedy show goes down hill when it brings in too many guest stars? eg:Spaced series 2

>Does anyone else think a Comedy show goes down hill when it brings in too many guest stars? eg:Spaced series 2

my memory is obviously going, who guest starred in spaced?

From the new Radio Times: "Patsy has had a Parralox injection to freeze her wrinkles. Saffy is trying to get a job with New Labour. And Edina, who has now added a TV company to her business portfolio, has got herself an appearance booked on `This Morning'. With guest stars Twiggy, Lady Victoria Hervey, Michael Greco, Stephen Gately, Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan."

Everybody! no not really. 2 members of TLoG(Reece Shearsmith & Mark Gatiss) David Waliams(sp?) Paul Kaye, Peter sera....bloke who did the voice of Darth Maul, The Bluetones, Kevin Eldon, Bill Bailey, Keith Allen, John Simm and RICKY GERVAIS!!! I admit I've included some series 1 apperances but I trying to make a point. If anybody can find a show with more guest apperances please post :-D

and Paul Putner

Simon Pegg: Someone stick a firework up his arse and light it. The expression on his stupid face will remain the same.

Kevin Eldon: He is the Evil Hypnotist and therefore too frightening for words. Arrrrgggghhh!

I read that as a conversation there for a second.

>I read that as a conversation there for a second.

You're probably right. That conversation is taking place somewhere in the Universe at this very moment.

Absolutely Fabulous fell back on dozens of celebrity cameos as early as the dreadful second series, and in particular the dream sequence of Hospital (the single worst half-hour of TV comedy ever transmitted, quite possibly).

Oh yes, Olivia Williams (from The Sixth Sense and Rushmore) was in series 2 of Spaced.

I'm also reminded of the Alas Smith & Jones sketch from as long ago as 1986, when a Roman taverna sketch ground to a halt when the extras were revealed to be Mick Channon, Leslie Grantham, Gary Glitter, Hazel O'Connor and Janet Street-Porter.

Griff: "What is going on here - this isn't Blankety Blank!".

>...Mick Channon, Leslie Grantham, Gary Glitter, Hazel O'Connor and Janet Street-Porter.

Jools Holland too. Forgot about that. He got a speaking part as well - when asked who he was, he called back "Paula Yates"...

I say five of those people were in the first series and two of them are reoccuring parts - Bill's Bailey's Bilbo and Peter Serafinowicz's Duane.

Not the best arguement there. And did you acually see the Bluetones in it? Or Keith Allen for that matter?

I say Absolutely Fabulous, French & Saunders, BlackAdder Goes Back & Forth or Baddiel's Syndrome should get the top honours. (Gail Porter, a whole episode devoted to her in BS)

"(Gail Porter, a whole episode devoted to her in BS) "

It was 2 episodes actually.

Mind, I'll say something for Baddiel's Syndrome - Gordon Southern was a great warm-up man. No Ted Robbins, but he made me laugh.
