Last nights Panel.

Chong

I thought last nights panel was the best of the year. It was so funny in so many ways, as usual Andrew Maxwell, and Neil Delamare were on form. The George Hook segment was excellent, Rosie just brilliant tv. Although the funniest thing about the show was when David McWilliams came on. The reason being is a couple of weeks ago Colin Murphy slated David McWilliams on the Blizzard of Odd. Colin made light of how annoying McWilliams was with his made up words like "BaconRollMan".

There was obviously a bit tension aswell there last night, because McWilliams was a bit smart with Colin but Colin couldnt really come up with anything apart from the stuff about Oasis and Blur. The funny thing is that this happens regularily with Colin slating people on the Blizzard of Odd, and the same people then are guests on the panel.

Btw I forgot actually the best thing the show was Grainne Seoige that woman is absolutely stunning. The way she speaks Irish is even beautiful, plus the fact that her cleavage was nice aswell last night .

Mossy Monk

and RTÉ probably wont repeat it

is that correct?

Chong

Not sure tbh .

I got stuck watching this in a mates gaff last night for about 30 mins before I made an excuse to leave - I can't believe people find this funny. Soooooooo f*cking bad.

I enjoyed the show last night too. It was indeed strange with Colin Murphy and David McWilliams. Great rack on Grainne all the same.

McWilliams mentioned the thing Colin Murphy had against Eddie Hobbs so he must watch Blizzard of Odd.

uhhh were we watching the same show?!george hook was absolutely brilliant i was wetting myself and the only comedian who could say anything in retort to him was neil delemare.Andrew maxwell was just silent for that whole segment cos he just couldnt keep up with the wit of hooky,dara and neil.Andrew maxwell was just so boring his long winded stupid soliloquys ruined the otherwise good programme. Loved it when neil said he looked like the milkybar kid!Th other journalist guy wasnt a patch on hooky definatly the guest of the year.Grainne just seemed really arsey with everyone,like she wanted to pick a fight.It clear why she was doing this though cos she is obviously quite intelligent and doesnt want to be sen as the dumb eye candy.But because she cant come up with any jokes she has to pick an argument to exert and show her intelligence which is not what the panel is about.

maybe I just wasn't looking hard enuf, lol, but AFAIK they never repeated a single ep of the last run, there a few months ago. :cool:

Can any1 else confirm?

magnumlady

It was a good show but I think Grainne has about as much personality as a dishcloth.
They should have got a funny woman on it like Marian Keyes or Pauline McLynn.

indeed, many complained due to no repeats

Sorry but you are all missing the point of Grainne. She is simply eye candy for the male viewers, thats it.

Show was ok!
Andrew wasnt up to normal self, Neil was great, Colin was quiet, Grannie was a hell of a lot better than Fiona Looney, Dara was good, Hook was a great guest, The other guy was ****E! Only funny bit with him was with the Chinese ppl in spar handing out breakfast rolls trying to take over... WTF, andrew was hilarious at that bit!
Yeah, myself and girlfriend both thought it wasnt the best really!

Chong

Who cares thats just the way it is, plus like Limerick_man said she was a hundred times better than Fiona Looney.

Because it's an obonxiously sexist remark? WDK remember humanities? Just apologise and run before I hand your ass on a plate again.

Its entirely plausible theres 50,000 odd members, hell plank kenny was quoting a AH thread pretty much verbatium a few weeks ago. You'd be amazed how you while away the hours on a slow news day and google.

And hey just because someone doesn't see you say something doesn't mean it's okay to say it.

Mossy Monk

wow!!!!!!!
you can call Pat Kenny a plank, while WDK cant call Gráinne Seoige eye candy?

magnumlady

Shame there was no eyecandy for the women on the show.

Chong

Thank you my sentiments exactly.

Chong

I think it was mentioned already but I would love to see Kevin McAleer on the show.

Screw that, I want them to repeat the episode where Aoife Ni Thuairsig was a guest (not the one where she was a panelist) and nearly fell out of her blouse.

I'd buy a 2005 season The Panel DVD just for that tbh.

Grainne set up a funny joke last night, can't remember what it was, but she fulfilled the purpose of a female panelist in that regard. And she almost went the whole show without asking a "serious" question.

Chong

Also maybe this thread slipped under WDK radar.

You must be a woman because if your male well your just a *Beep* with this over top PC crap.

I'm sorry calling a woman "just eye candy" isn't sexist? Jesus you are a joke.



See if you'd said she was eye candy, I'd not have disagreed, it was the "just" part I objected to. I've met her a few times, I'd describe her as attractive, intelligent, charming and funny, not "just" eye candy.




Yeah morals and ethics just seem to fly over your head.



WDK, stick around here, in the shallow end of the pool its where you belong.

you made your point, let this be the end of the sadness

Chong

Thank you a little sense from Moss.

How can I say this nicely without being banned, nobody wants a discussion on morals and ethics in the television forum please get that through to your skull. Nobody cares about whether or not she is eyecandy, your the only one whom of which has posted here in order to start a moral and ethical debate. Your in the wrong place like I said before , go back to humanities and start a thread there if you want to discuss whether or not Grainne Seoige is eye candy in the context of the Panel.

Your role on boards is to goad people into long winded debates, its all well and good in the humanities forum but it simply wont fly here because people arent interested. You like to over analyse everyones thread line by bloody line so you can get your worthless point across. You have continued debates into PM with some boards posters most notably billyblanks and then whinged about them in the help forum saying you were abused in order to get the other poster banned. No wonder people abused through PM because you obviously like to p!ss people off, and you still come out smelling off roses.

Btw your personal vendetta upon has not gone unrecognised, but in your case what goes around comes around.

It was a great show, I was at the recording of it a few weeks ago. Neil Delamere was absolutely fantastic, even when the cameras weren't rolling he had the audience in stitches. Andrew Maxwell was actually better when they weren't being filmed for some reason.

We were told David McWilliams wasn't originally meant to be on the show - somebody else was but their flight from London was delayed or cancelled or something and so they asked someone local to step in.

It's a pity they have to kinda censor what they broadcast - some of the jokes made on the night were very un-PC but they were hilarious, had me crying laughing, but they weren't in the show!

And I'm female but I agree with the Grannie Seoige remark, you could take her out of the show and apart from maybe the guys not having as much to look at, the show would still be excellent, its the others who make it

He always does that, he's all sarcastic and insulting when he's on his own programme but when they come on there's not a peep out of him. He doesn't have the guts to poke fun at them to their face. In fairness, most of the people he rips on are annoying, but I lost some amount of respect for him when I saw him pussyfooting around on the Panel. It's so easy to take the piss when they're not around. Jonathan Ross, for example, rarely gives anyone a really hard time, it's mostly backslapping. But when he does have someone on that he doesn't have much time for at least he pokes fun at them face to face.

Chong

Its so true I would love for Eddie Hobbs to come on the show.

I saw the show too and I thought Grainne came accross as a total cow. She didn't contribute anything interesting, and when she did open her mouth, it was just to put other people down. What was up with her "I'm from GALWAY" arrogance? And when Hook said something friendly to her in Irish, she really showed herself up by replying by saying something she knew Hookie wouldn't understand... to make herself look more knowledgeable. I don't understand it. I've heard stories about her being really horrible to people in the past and never thought much of them - but now I do.

Also (while I'm having a whinge!) I'm totally put off George Hook now - although he might think his "I'm an old scallywag" routine is hilarious, to me he just ends up looking like a sad old man, perving away after young women. Why would anyone want to end up like that?!

It's a shame that the show isn't reaching its full potential - but then again as long as the likes of Fiona Looney are regulars on the programme, it's never going to be as funny as "Have I Got News For You", "QI", and so forth. The other three male panelists were quite good - but perhaps they need to hire a few more writers.

Atrocity

She didn't say anything worthy of a laugh, or even anything remotely intelligent. She just laughed all the time at whatever anyone said and every so often asked a pointless question. We're told how intelligent she is all the time, she never seems to look it.
