Victoria Coren has the most annoying (nasal?) voice. Only thing stopping me from watching Only Connect.

"Somebody complained that choosing Greek letters was too pretentious, so please choose your Hieroglyph"  I'd go even more gay for Victoria Coren.

Strom Cuzewon posted:Only Connect has has such a great range of variety of connections. Sometimes it's fairly hardcore quiz stuff, but a few weeks ago they had "Simon Belmont, Father Callaghan, Buffy Summers, Van Helsing" almost immediately followed by "Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Shao Kahn". It's not pretentious, it's quite clearly taking the piss. This was the exact same episode as I watched. It was great watching them being clueless about the Mortal Kombat characters.

 Never Mind The Buzzcocks starts this Thursday at 10 on BBC 2 Guest host: Mark Ronson Guests: Alesha Dixon, Tinie Temper, Paul Foot, 'Mollie From The Saturdays' Phill Jupitus also tweeted a picture of a publicity still from an episode hosted by Terry Wogan, which I dunno I think will basically be awesome: http://yfrog.com/71t0bj Yes that's James Blunt, but that's okay because he was actually pretty drat funny when he appeared on Top Gear and seems like a fun enough guy in real life.

Why do goons have this problem whereby as soon as a programme changes they have to harp on about how it was in the old days or how the show needs to be cancelled now because it is different. Buzzcocks is still funnier than most things on telly, and is a prefectly good waste of half an hour. Rose-tinted autists ITT.

James Blunt's always struck me as a decent bloke since I saw this great interview with him where someone had a passive-aggressive pop at his hiring a backing band and general lack of street cred, and he came back with something along the lines of "well yeah but I've never pretended to have street cred, I was an Army officer, and then I left, and I'd enjoyed playing guitar so I wanted to be in a band, but when you're an officer in the Life Guards you don't exactly have many muso friends..."

Paul Foot! I've never actually seen him on TV, but he used to go to my school and came back once to do stand-up there and it was pretty weird all round.

Because it's devolved into a show where they bring guests on simply to take the piss out of them. A good number of the guests don't know the answers to the questions or are there to blatantly plug their latest lovely album and barely contribute anything to an episode short of being the punching bag for whatever the regular guest/hosts throw at them. On a more upbeat note, I just fixed my telly and caught that Harry and Paul show. It was actually quite funny.

When was Buzzcocks ever not like this? The only difference is that the guests tend to be more famous now. edit: And who watches any panel shows because they care what the answers to the questions are??

I have an almost irrational hatred of that small bald comedian in Mock the Week. I think it's his voice. No one I know seems to mind him, so it's proberly just me.

Yeah that's him. They need to shake it up a bit, dump a few comedians who seems to be coasting like that guy from My Hero. To be honest Dara is the best thing about Mock the Week, they should clone him eight times and get rid of everyone else.

Frankie Boyle and Dara were the only reason to watch that show, and now one's gone then it's all that Dara can do to keep it going. They should just do the merciful thing and take it to the bottom of the garden with a shotgun and put it out of its misery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7CPqZO_IDU This illustrates perfectly the show dynamic. Russell Howard does a crap joke, Hugh Dennis does another while secretly wondering what happened with his life (he used to be part of the Mary Whitehouse Experience for fucks sake), then the magic starts. I think the funniest part is probably Dara's reaction.

gently caress Andy Parsons I hate him so much  I'm glad others agree. Can anyone confirm my suspicion that Britain is the only country that has these kinds of "comedy quiz shows" (Mock the Week, HIGNFY, Shooting Stars, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, etc). I just don't think shows like that really exist in America (or elsewhere?)

fuf posted:gently caress Andy Parsons I hate him so much I've heard America doesn't have them. So that would explain why American celebrities always look lost when they appear. They seem to love importing all sorts of our other shows so it seems weird to not import panel shows since they are both popular and cheap to make. I think other European countries have similar shows though. I know QI has been exported to a few places.

YOu are not alone, every time I watch Mock the Week I end up giving a dissertation on what makes him the most annoying person on TV - his voice, his face, the inflection he uses, the fact he seems to blame Camilla Parker Bowles for Diana's death 10 years after (get over it).
