So far am liking this years Big Fat Quiz but is anyone else finding the rantings of Sean Lock and James Corden tiresome and boring, being very picky and having a rant at school kids for the way they acted a news story

It's missing Brand, Brydon, Ross and Mitchell, so not really worth bothering with.

I've been laughing unexpectedly at James Corden. I've never liked him ever since he robbed the comedy award from Matt Berry.

I thought it was really funny, I expected McCall and Winkleman to be annoying, but they weren't.

I'm not missing Brand and Fielding, as they did tend to take over with their unique brand of humour.

Why is Michael Mackin-'tire' (very Daily Mail, I'm sorry!) on everything at the moment? He's just like a poor man's Jimmy Carr. He's about as funny as syphillis.

Usually happens when they try to promote a new comedian. Although I found him quite funny on Live At The Apollo, not as funny as Bill Bailey, Lee Hurst or Dylan Moran though Very Happy

He's doing surprisingly well - his DVDs have sold more than the next few comics put together.

I think it's his smug c*nt face that puts me off.

A bit like looking at a fatter, posher and less talented (yes, that really is possible) Jonathan Ross.

Michael MacIntyre is not a bad comic, have got his DVD and found it to be funny.
The highlight of last night I think was Claudia and Davina saying they would like to have a threesome with John Snow by the bins.
Tho I didn't enjoy it as much as previous years if they had someone different than Sean Lock and James Corden I would have loved it.
in past I've liked James work on Gavin n Stacey and before that Fat Friends but last night I just thought he was a big p****ck!

I enjoyed the second half but not the first half so much. I like Claudia and Davina but I was expecting them to just be "there". Sean was funny but James was completely OTT and I hate him even more than before which I thought was impossible. Michael was the funniest but I was disappointed with Dara. He just sunk into the background and looked like he didn't want ot be there.

Yes, I think Dara is more suited to BBC satire rather than the risque Channel 4 clique. (That last part probably doesn't make sense but I enjoyed typing it!)
