Greg Davies is brilliant, Man Down starts new series on Monday. Loved the last series.

Greg Davies doing Chris Eubank impression...almost wet myself. Brilliant

Will Katherine Ryan actually be funny tonight or sit there with a face like a slapped arse as usual. Always looks like she is doing a show a favour being there, as unfunny a comedian as I've seen recently. Not a fan (in case I was being too subtle). Rob Beckett is usually pretty funny though, so not a write off.

Basq · 02-06-2015 10:09pm

She's terrible... Rob Beckett ain't bad alright, though the "big teeth" schtick is wearing thin!

Good news though Greg Davies fans, he's a panelist on Jon's team on Friday's episode - along with the very under-rated Miles Jupp (as below) on Sean's team... with the obligatory unfunny female comedian Holly Walsh in Dictionary corner.

Also, his Postman Pat comment on 8 Out Of 10 Cats was only made funnier with Danny Dyer's remark:

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 02-06-2015 10:12pm

Greg Davies will be back again this week, this time playing on one of the teams.

Ruu · 03-06-2015 3:10am

Really enjoy Miles Jupp, he was on Mock the Week a few times last series.

Thargor · 03-06-2015 10:04am

Didnt think Greg Davies was that funny at all, very contrived setups to his little bits, I didnt know people rated him as a comedian, think I only ever laughed at him in Inbetweeners. I jumped back into this after the good reviews here and on Digitalspy of his ep but nah, same auld sh1te, wont be bothering with any more of these. Rachel Riley has to be the best looking woman on tv at the minute though.

Has Joe Wilkinson finally ****ed off?

Hopefully. His appearances really put a dampener on the show.

ShazGV · 03-06-2015 4:26pm

I found Joe very hit & miss. Some nights he was hilarious, some nights he just slowed the show down.

Ruu · 06-06-2015 5:37pm

Didn't make me feel very good watching Sean eat all those whelks!

Not enough Miles Jupp, was fairly quiet.

He always seems to enjoy himself anyways.

Just watching this now on More4. Rachel Riley crushing on Bill Bailey is fabulous.

thelad95 · 06-06-2015 10:59pm

I'm so glad Joe Wilkinson is gone. He added nothing to the show. In saying that, I'd love to see him as a guest in dictionary corner.

colm_mcm · 06-06-2015 11:00pm

Glad to see Joe wilkinson gone, they all seem to think he's hilarious, and while occasionally he is - he's mostly annoying.

Couple of redeeming features though...

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 20-06-2015 1:26am

Was pretty crap tonight - I don't really get the appeal of Alex Horne and his troop, and with Jon not there this week I wasn't expecting it to be good. Vic Reeves and Sara Pascoe aren't the most entertaining guests either.

Credit where credit is due though, that last part with the 9-letter and the conundrum from Lee was very good.

Ruu · 20-06-2015 2:14am

Dont think that picnic hamper was meant to stop like that.

Looks like Lee Mack is there next week as well.

jcsoulinger · 20-06-2015 1:44pm

Really love this show and recent episodes have been really good, Greg Davies being a highlight but last nights episode was fairly tame in comparison.

Am I the only one who wonders how Sara Pascoe is a comedian? And she's been on twice in the last few weeks.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 08-07-2015 11:45pm

Fridays line-up has Sean Locke joined by Seann Walsh, who is a regular captain on E4 panel quizshow Virtually Famous...

Jon Richardson is still away unfortunately, but this week's guest captain is someone else who's been missing all season, Joe Wilkinson, who will be joined by EastEnd Geezer, Danny Dyer...

And rounding off the crew is Bill Bailey in Dictionary Corner...

Has the makings of a decent episode. Joe Wilkinson is definitely the weak link, but when he's on form he is great and will be interesting to see him actually play the game for a change.

Basq · 08-07-2015 11:49pm

David O Doherty's "Short Legs" song was the highlight in the most recent episode..

Him doing the "higher or lower?" for the numbers round was hilarious.

Thargor · 09-07-2015 10:17am

Oh God I dont think Ill be able to take a whole ep of Joe Wilkinson. Wonder if Paddy Power will give me odds on him giving a word that has nothing to do with the letters on the board? :rolleyes:

I stopped watching this because he just annoyed me with his "hilarious" antics every week, it looked like Rachel was fed up with him too very early on. is it save to get back in to it yet or is he worse as a team member?

lertsnim · 09-07-2015 1:56pm

He can't be worse than Sarah "I have a boyfriend" Millican. I found myself turning off before the end the last two weeks.

Whatsisname · 09-07-2015 7:49pm

Looking forward to seeing Danny Dyer on again, he was great the last time. When is Jon Richardson back? and where is he anyway?

I think he is on his honeymoon.

Google says he went on honeymoon in April so maybe not.

Toto Wolfcastle · 09-07-2015 10:53pm

All those shows were probably recorded around the same time so he possibly was on his honeymoon.

Everyone on the show does that at one time or another,John Richardson does it every round.

I like Joe,nice to see what he can do from the other side of table.

_Tombstone_ · 09-07-2015 11:59pm

Great show ruined by sh1t guests...nearly every week.

Skid X · 10-07-2015 9:44am

When the writers thought "let's get Jimmy to do a little sketch for 30 seconds while the contestants are playing the game", I wonder if they realised the show would still be going after 41 episodes!

It must be getting harder to come up with ideas, there must have been hundreds of those fimed by now. A bit like The Simpsons couch gags.

I don't think it'd be any loss if they were ditched.

Sean Lock is one of the most naturally funny comedians out there. He's one comedian I'd love to have a few drinks with.

You get by without Jon Richardson but without Sean Lock it wouldn't work. I absolutely love him.

I was on the verge of tears of laughter a few weeks back when he was eating the whelks. Sure they probably planned it but I laughed so much.

One of the reasons I love him is the understated intelligence that underlies his humour.
And his flights of whimsy can be inspired.

I find them distracting when I'm trying to come up with a word...

Was reading the thread wondering why all the hate for Joe Wilkinson thinking ye were talkin about Jon Richardson (confused the two names).
Jon's great.
I agree Joe Wilkinson can be very hit and miss. And very different pace to his segments.
I can see why he isn't missed.

efb · 10-07-2015 9:14pm

Wilkinson on tonight urgh

Basq · 10-07-2015 11:23pm

Have to say I'm really missing the normal 8 Out Of 10 Cats now..

Skid X · 11-07-2015 11:29am

I really enjoyed it last night. Danny Dyer is good value every time he is on.

honeybear · 12-07-2015 11:02pm

Just saw Danny on the show-seriously cute!!!

13-07-2015 2:57am

Love Danny dyer...
This is my fave Danny dyer vid when he was on big fat quiz of the year

efb · 13-07-2015 3:04am

It wasn't that bad. Delighted the two Sean's and turty tree and a turd won!

_Tombstone_ · 14-07-2015 10:13pm

They should replace Richardson with Dyer.

Ruu · 14-07-2015 10:22pm

Looks like Jon Richardson won't be on the rest of the series according to Wikipedia anyway.

The honeymoon period is lasting a long time with him

I kinda miss him on it though.

He doesn't have much of a social media presence, so it's hard to tell what's going on, but it doesn't seem like he is on tour or doing, well... anything at the moment.

He got married at the end of April, he's hardly sill on honeymoon!?

Toto Wolfcastle · 15-07-2015 11:41am

He probably was when it was being filmed though.

Celebrity 15 to 1 has shown 4 shows already but they have 4 more to show that were recorded at the same time. The episode of Pointless I went to in May last year was shown for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

Yep, I just got the impression from Rachel's twitter that there wasn't too large of a gap between filming and airing on catsdown.
