Is Brian downling on The Mint tonight?

No Brian last night. They rotate the presenters every few nights . Last Saturday night show was fantastic when he was interviewing Peter Simon. He said it himself but was he joking- does anyone know if Peter suffers from angina ?
Alan Coxton was on so had a bit of an early night.

Peter was great on Saturday night. Talking about his spiel on how to sell a cushion on Bid Up TV. Almost felt like I was watching the channel! He talked about the old Saturday morning days and when he met Fred Astaire. Plus he sounded quite desperate for a job, almost felt he was a presenter on the show with regular drop ins of the quiz number and quizes at the time.

I fail to realise as a viewer of Freeview why we need and in fact want another Gaming Channel?! It seems madness to launch another channel on a service which has limited capacity. Howe are people ever going to be encouraged to get digital tv via freeview if the channel line up is so bad?!

Oh so when will Brian be back on?

Brian will next be on The Mint on the night of Friday 21st April according to two listings mags I have seen. Brian was originally apparently going to do a 3 nights on, 6 nights off shift but they seem to have changed it to Fri/Sat, Sat/Sun and Sun/Mon. Presumably because Brian is very popular and the Friday and Saturday nights are the most lucrative.

I don't know, but its a competition between Cat Porter and Debbie King for me on the 'attraction' stakes.

That Alan Coxon bloke really annoys me. I wouldn't say he was a well-known TV chef even though I've heard of him. Also, that vault is never going to open unless the production crew decide - which will probably be Christmas or something.

Its still Quizmania for me all the way...the emails, the gifts, the banter, the interaction..

Alan comes over as being a bit too straight for The Mint format.

Everyone's favourite on tonight people.. the one... the only...






GARY BUSHELL!

Preview of 'This Morning Puzzle Book' on This Morning a few moments ago. It looks like they are using the current 'This Morning' logo in the old format, if you get what I mean? Apologies for the poor quality caps.

Well it's launched, looks like This Morning Puzzle Book is coming from Granada Manchester, in that studio with the big windows. (the one Granada Breeze used to use a lot)
