Someone just got through on QM:

Caller: Hi, I just want to say, I can't believe you get paid to do this.

Debbie: Err... thanks! What's your answer my love?

Caller: I don't have an answer, i just wanted to say I can't believe people pay you to do this!

*hangs up*

I missed that moment. If it were Greggles he would have responded in his own witty way I'm sure.

I wonder how many 60p calls he threw away trying to get through just to say that!

Just switched this on, to watch that Debbie woman read out a letter some bloke sent her in. What kind of weirdos send stuff in like that?! If you had a quick look at what the card said when they zoomed in, it contained some very weird stuff!

Nice to see two Channel Islands being mentioned in 5 seconds lol.

That cake they got given was Guernsey Gâche, quite probably the most disgustingly untasty lump you can buy!

A funny moment on Quizmania last night featured Debbie telling a terrible joke which featured the crew saying "Get back to ITV2!" and "Get Brian Dowling on!"

Well I notice The Mint have some new presenters. Last night it was Caroline and someone else and tonight they've got a new guy called Mark in.

Tonights guests are Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee - thats magic! You'll like it? but not a lot? no... Confused

Indeed Mark Rumble has joined the mint.
He started as back in summer 2000 on The Bigger Breakfast replacing Dermot (though he wasn't that good then), he ended up at the Disney Channel on Studio Disney, and came a very good presenter in the later years. After Studio Disney came to an end he appeared on Sky Two, then Mix's Sky Quiz Live. I've also seen him on The Great British Quiz Channel, on Ftn's Quiz Night Live, and now he's made an appearance on the mint, and quite a good appearance too, especially liked him having a look around the place, something that I haven't seen anyone else do before.

At least it means that they're getting rid of some of the totally rubbish presenters. Brian and Bev are still the best pairing though!

Whoever the bloke on The Mint last night was, he was completely infuriating. Even worse than that Craig person. At one point there was some kind of problem with the graphics, but instead of apologising or explaining what happened, this bloke just started jumping up and down and shouting and things, just trying to be funny. It was awful.

Shocked Paul Daniels has just explained the art of weblogs and podcasts and that he has them on his website.

Although I still find them entertaining, I always feel it a shame to see old faces such as Paul and Debbie turn up on shows like this. I remember the Paul Daniels Magic Show in the early-nineties (my uncle used to produce it but thats beside the point) and it was really clever entertainment. Paul says he no longer does the illusions and such type of shows because time has moved on and they now require a comedy element. I think its also because you've got the likes of David Blaine and Paul Zenon on the scene.

Debbie was getting some really disturbing cards from an obsessed guy last night, she preceded to read them out and ended up saying the guy needed to get out more. Laughing Bit weird how far people go though.
