Has The Wright Stuff been axed? They're acting as if it's their last show today.

I know it is bizzare to revive this thread again

But does anyone know when the final edition of the show will be going out? As I heard March, when the 200th edition will be transmitted. Shame it will be going off.

But I was watching TV's Naughtiest Blunders 10 then and they showed the classic clip of Danny Baker and the microwave, where he doesn't realise that the soap and plate had been in the microwive for about 5 mins. Classic!

Terry & Gaby is fab, this week is great with Jenny Powell on, but it still doesn't seem right, even though many hate Gaby, her & Terry have a certain rapore.
Last week Danny Baker came out with some good stuff whilst being in the main seat for Terry, but it still didn't seem right.

That clip was a classic on terry & Gaby with the microwave. It's a shame it will be ending soon. But I will still have fond memories of the show.

This TV's nautiest blunders is coming up with good clips (and Neil Morrisey replacing Steve Penk!), along with the Terry & Gaby clip, I loved the GMTV clip from before Christmas where Eamonn said "Shouted" in his rough irish accent, Richard Arnold was replecating it, and then Fiona took the accent a bit too far saying "it's time to **** across to the weather now".

I thought Danny Baker did a good job last week for standing in for Wogan, it was funny on Thursday I think, when this Italian chef encourages Danny Baker and Razor Ruddock to eat a chocolate dipped chilli. That was very funny, plus I think it was also the day before when Danny Baker drank a load of Olive Oil!

I was on the verge of planning a trip to London the other week, but no-one else could go, but I went on The Terry and Gaby website and I entered in details for tickets, the next day I got a call from UMTV! Asking when I would like to go, but I said I wasn't sure, but they left me the number to call. But at least they responded.

Me and a couple of mates from uni took a trip down from Lancashire in December. It was a good day. A coach load of people had cancelled at the last minute so everyone was pushed into one corner and the runners had to pretend to be members of the audience. Brian Blessed was on and he ruffled my hair as went down the stairs. Terry and Gaby didnt talk to any of the audience, thought that would of been nice.

Thought about going down for the last show. Would be good.

Myself and the Media Studies group from my school were in the audience for Terry & Gaby today, it was excellent, Terry even spoke to me just before they went on air, only asked where we were from though. Gaby looks quite skinny i must say.

I watched it today as I didn't have to be in college until 12.30pm, but again it was very funny, the best bit being the whole part with the lamb that they were cooking, Gaby saying it would be abused, but Terry being Terry denies it. But it was funnier when that chef put mustard on it and Terry said I thought it twitched then!

I remember the one about the coach thing, it was the reason why the guests had to come in the other way.

Anyone see that Eurovision trailer on BBC One? I swear at the end of it when Terry appears is it me or is it coming from the Terry and Gaby Studio?

It is. It comes from the chair at the back of the room where the guests sit and pose for the camera during the coming up menu at the top of the show, before the guests come on.

It was more of a case of Terry and Gabby falling *on* air this morning.

During The Wright Stuff they suddenly cut to the Terry and Gabby studio where rehersals were going on. After a few moments Five put up a 'Terry and Gabby' slide.

Realising this was wrong they then went through numerous slides for various Five programmes include some Milkshake shows flicking on screen for about 2 seconds each before getting to the The Wright Stuff slide!.

The announcer then popped up and said we could rejoin the programme where Matthew and guests were continuing as normal

I saw the cock up this morning, they had a call during TWS and then they cut to T&G Rehearsals with no-one in the audience except the guest from the programme Sack Race saying something about a Craig David record. Though about 99.9% of TWS's audiecne missed the phone call about the woman who took legal action. Not very professional if they go through a lot of slides, cut to T&G 40 minutes early and cut back to Back To Reality for a second!
