Says line from current 'pop' hit.. More on that story later.


argghh!!!! It stopped being funny after the second time the gag was done back in the 2nd series, let alone by series 5 but still miking in by series 7, JUST DROP THE POINTLESS GAG FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! I cringed and changed channel as soon as started.

I have no gripes that extreme over the rest of the stuff but still the show's been done to death, last night shows its time to let it go.

The whole show stopped being funny after the 2nd series IMO. Not that it was even that funny then. Very over-rated show.

Agree with the whole Kirsty Wark line, I never quite got why they continued to do it but there were still some great bits in it last night.

The BBC 2 logo farm was the best bit Laughing

He doesn't though. To me Phil Cornwell is the worst impressionist on the show. With nearly all his impressions, he just ends up sounding like a cross between his Stella Street Michael Caine and a Jack Russell.

The whole Newsnight Kirsty Wark sketch maybe old-hat, but they've certainly got the look right for Jan.

By the way I've been listening to some of Jon Culshaw's prank calls from his days working on Steve Penk's Capital FM radio show - worth a listen on YouTube, some are quite funny.

I can too but BBC Scotland shift network programmes around so much and never bother announcing when the next episode of a programme with be shown, that it becomes a bit of a treasure hunt.

I thought the Jane Fonda spoof was funny. Jan Ravens runs rings around the rest of the team.
