Guest Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Don't like Steve Coogan myself - i find his 'comedy' makes my toes curl - a bit like watching the office prat make an idiot if himself at the Christmas party, but it's another thumbs up from me for QI and Mock The Week - possibly the only two programmes that both chookiehubbie and I agree on!

Christian Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I love, adore and idolise Stephan Fry. If I have an evening in to myself I watch re-runs of QI on dvd! Alan Davis is another. Totally agree with you Gina, Stephan Fry is fantastic and i love QI, best thing on the box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I so agree - we all love him in this house QI is always worth a look, even if its a repeat (the book is good too - youngest daughter is forever dropping useful facts from it into conversations) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 oh, yes I got the book too! You have to read it in a Stephan Fry voice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I liked Steve before he made it big, saturday night live kinda era when he did stand up. I don't find him funny anymore. I think he has suffered the same fate as Mr Bean, very funny at first but..........now awful. Kev. Edit- I wasn't referring to Sean Bean by the way Sarah Glad you cleared that up,Kev. I was just about to send the boys around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I want to be in Richard & Lesley's gang too! He is...... Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Another one I can't abide is Rob Brydon or whatever his name is. Twerp. I half watched a film that they made together a short while back....A cock and Bull story or somesuch (that will be moderated!) ....they had set themselves the task of demonstrating that the novel Tristram Shandy could be filmed. Apparently it had previously been deemed unfilmable. I don't know about unfilmable...it was unwatchable. Two talentless egos pretending to be actors. Horribly fascinating.

Joojoo Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I LOVE STEVE COOGAN I find him hilarious in an excrutiating kind of way. I prefer him in Alan Partridge but in the second series of Saxondale he is starting to grow on me a bit more. His anger management sessions are just brilliant Other favourites include: Peter Kay Bill Bailey - you must watch Black Books - genius Russell Brand (but only on Radio 2) - I can't cope with watching and listening to him at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Russell Brand (but only on Radio 2) - I can't cope with watching and listening to him at the same time Oooooooooo - I can. Russel the love muscle we call him in this house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joojoo Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Russell Brand (but only on Radio 2) - I can't cope with watching and listening to him at the same time Oooooooooo - I can. Russel the love muscle we call him in this house Yeah I think he is flipping gorgeous too but I just can't watch him and listen to him at the same time - I know it sounds mad but I just get too distracted I know he has suffered from major drug addiction in the past and I really wouldn't like to say if it has affected his mind BUT he is hilarious. Even when he is just laughing I can't help but smile. He's infectious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 He certainly is Jue. I have a picture of him dressed as capt jack Sparrow here in my office, & he looks lovely By the way QI fans - new series starting on Friday 21st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbieboy Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Steve Coogan, I can watch. Billy Connely, I've heard it all before(and I'm Scottish) but still watchable. Stephen Fry is brilliant, Mock the Week is the best, does anyone else cringe when Frankie Boyle starts "taking it to far"? and as for Russel Brand, I hate him on TV but love him on radio.....as long as it's switched off.

Couperman Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Bill Bailey comedy god Eddie izzard weird cross dressing comedy genius Norman Lovett (aka Holly Red Dwarf) going to see him soon! Hattie Hayridge (aka Holly Red Dwarf) great standup pretend dumb blond Stephen Fry superb comedy smartasre! George Bush accidental comedy genius Tony Blair ditto I love 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks' I used to love 'who's line is it anyway' what ever happened to that? Chubby Brown - "Ooops, word censored!" (I do know him and he's very quiet and polite in person, I used to knock around with his sons) still think he's "Ooops, word censored!" though and have told him! Kev.

Egluntyne Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 George Bush accidental comedy genius Look Here There is a theory that he has early Altzheimers.....Apparently 10 years aago he could construct a sentence and was actually a sharp debater.

Cinnamon Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I have just read that Steve Coogan will be playing Eddie The Eagle Edwards in a new biopic. Now, I am no great fan, but that is inspired casting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Do you think so......he looks nothing like him! I read somewhere Eddie wanted Brad Pitt to play him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
