As you know due to the BBC licence debacle today's show had an audience of invited professionals rather than the usual rabble who only come in from the cold.

You could tell they wern't the usual lot, firstly there seemed to be more men laughing rather than the usual common housewives screaming the place down. Secondly they were the sort of audience that clapped at jokes rather than howling!

Secondly, who on earth is "Big Rita!", she's quite poor

From what I gathered most of the laughing was off a CD or something. It just didn't sound real. If the studio didn't have as many audience members then it's very likely the laughing and applause was added.

Isn't it pathetic, the sooner this gets sorted the better.

Well Paul finally broke a world record today for 'most wet sponges thrown at a target'. Prehaps he won with 18 in 1 minute due to his target being Bert (wearing red anorak and goggles). Then cue a drenching for Paul resulting in his radio mic packing up.

I love it when things go unscripted but Paul clearly plans for people to throw water over him etc which, although funny at first, now makes it slightly cringeable.

Notice it always happens on a Wednesday, what with it being the last show of the week Wink

I did like when some bloke had to run on with a microphone and Paul asked, what was he supposed to do with it, sing?!

I wonder if they'll get in trouble with todays show as during the final 'Bush tucker trial' Carol Thatcher said "someone is sh*tting on me" (it was a 'country muck shower').

Yeah, Paul didn't apologise, mind you, he probably had stomach upset after 'supposedly' eating that worm anyway.

It's not the first time. There was a time when somebody from Emmerdale or something was on, and Paul was fiddling about with his shirt. The guest said "Oh, he's getting his t!ts out, now!"

Paul didn't apologise, he just made the woman feel guilty.

Didn't she also say p*ssing and arse on tonight's show? Scandalous, the little chavs of today have never heard such language, I'm sure. Hanson Corp. should do something about this.

It's funny though, the one person they had on the show that was more likely to swear than anyone else in TV, Ozzy Osbourne, turns out being quite the angel compared to the likes of Carol Thatcher!
