funny that...I tried looking up Jonathon Ross in Wiki, but couldn't find him anywhere...Ermm

I do think it was very wrong to ring a sweet old man and leave rude messages.

I also think RB is a waste of space, and JR is going the same way (maybe he thinks he' invincible) But I also think that the sweet grandaughter is a bit suspect, poor girl, so distraught at this obscenity she had to cut short her tour with the "Satanic Sluts" as a gothic burlesque dancer!   It seems she's played a dangerous game and it's come back and bit her on the bum!  I also think she's using this to her FULL advantage!

Her and RB seem a suitable pair! 


The longer this gets protracted out I should imagine the worse poor old Andrew Sachs will feel.

It certainly seems that way. Such is the nature of celebrity I guess.

LOL  I'm with you there Jim!    Although not having a telly, does rather exclude me from all the fuss!


I listen to a lot of radio, I like the programmes in the evening especially when I'm "home alone"  But I will switch off if RB pops up (and he does, without warning on pretty much any channel!) , he irritates the heck out of me. Angry

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

24hr Top Gear and Top Gear spin-offs on all four BBC channels - the Stig vs Hamilton race-off, taking the piss out of caravan owners, raving over cars none of us can even dream of owning, May telling us how clever the Japs are, Clarkeson ranting over speed cameras and congestion charges, and that other one looking like a rabbit caught in the headlights...

...by chance I happened to hear the Ross/Grant show Saturday before last (one of the few that did I would imagine Stern Smile) - equal parts funny and cringe-worthy. I feel sorry for Sachs, but I agree with you about his granddaughter ... I should think being bitten on the bum is an occupational hazard in the Satanic Sluts. Wink

+++thinks better of making a comment & sounding like Russell Brand (er!+++



Oh Censored - that guy hosted some awards show over here that was an utter failure - not one funny thing came out of his mouth, all his jokes fell completely flat.  I watched a little bit and can't understand for the life of me how he got famous in the UK or anywhere.  Talentless waste.  Thumbs Down

now, how many 'Health & Safety At Work' videos have you been shown, which demonstrate that you must only attempt to split an infinitive while bending your legs and keeping your back straight...Stern Smile

...also having greatly enjoyed watching "Tess of the Darbeyvills"  in next to no time they come right up with "Little Dorrit" - what next -  they always seem to find unspoilt olde worlde locations for these things (stonehenge was a bit of an error, as in the 1800's it was a ruin, not propped up , neat and tidy like it is now) , how do they do it...Little Dorrit trotting across old London Bridge with no buses,  cycle lanes or taxis -maybe a little digital manipulation transporting us to Dickens' London?

Oh indeed...its autumn, therefore its cozzy drama season...love it...Clap although I studied LD for A level, and its 1100 pages left me emotionally scarred for quite a while...Confused

whilst you have a point, its one of those occasions where you have to 'suspend' disbelief...as English Heritage wouldn't let the beeb rearrange them for a photo shoot... however they did make a great gaff in one of the episodes...by singing a hymn which wasn't written until the 1920's...Embarrassed

I was quite impressed with that image too...no doubt they blocked the street off, one summer Sunday at 5am....Smile

A neat trick I will admit - painting out the Arizona desert and replacing the lake with a fake River Thames too would qualify as more than "a little" Wink

They did that when filming the opening scene of '28 Days Later', leading to a very spooky scene with the main character walking the deserted streets of London in broad daylight; the only give-away was the long shadows.

Aaaanyway, I am reliably informed that the Gartens are now back in the 21st century with heat & light having been restored, the problem apparently having been caused by "snow bringing down power lines..."

...yeah right! If Peter reads that, he'll bust a gut laughing.
